Catalystk

Overview

Catalystk brings customer management, sales, quotations, purchasing, inventory, manufacturing, accounting, GST billing and reporting into one business platform. That wider scope sets it apart from tools focused only on preparing quotes: a business can manage sales activity alongside operational and financial processes.

For quotation work, its AI Sales Assistant can create a branded quote from a request for quotation (RFQ) in about 10 seconds. Catalystk also supports lead capture from IndiaMART, Justdial, Sulekha, TradeIndia, web forms and email, bringing those inquiries into one pipeline. Approval workflows, e-signatures, quote tracking, CRM integrations and custom branding are also listed capabilities.

Catalystk is headquartered in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The company says the product was shortlisted by NASSCOM as a promising B2B software product.

Key features

Quotes and lead management

Capturing leads from marketplaces and other channels in a shared pipeline can help teams keep incoming prospects together. The AI Sales Assistant is intended to speed up the move from an RFQ to a branded quotation. After creation, quotes can be tracked and routed through approval workflows; e-signatures are also supported.

Manufacturing, GST and reporting

Manufacturing tools include multi-level bills of materials, material requirements planning (MRP), job orders and work orders. For billing and compliance, Catalystk provides GST-ready invoicing, e-invoicing and GST reports. The platform advertises more than 500 ready-made reports and live dashboards.

Mobile access and privacy

A native mobile app keeps sales, approvals and dashboards synchronized with the web app. Catalystk says it does not share third-party personal information for promotional purposes and does not store Gmail user data on its servers. It also states that account deletion permanently erases the account’s data.

Pricing

Catalystk offers a free plan and two paid plans, with pricing listed per user for the paid tiers. There is no free trial.

Platforms

Catalystk is available on Android, iOS and the web. Its native mobile app synchronizes sales, approvals and dashboards with the web app.

Verdict

Catalystk is a wide-ranging option for small and growing businesses that want sales quotations connected to CRM, GST billing, inventory, manufacturing, accounting and reporting.
