Your store sells from a catalog on WhatsApp, without slowing down the counter

A customer sends a voice note asking for stock, the agent shows your catalog with photos and prices, and the order comes together with a few taps. It serves retail and wholesale customers every day, sends the payment link in the same conversation and hands off to your team when needed.

Industry pain points

If you run a store or a distributor, this will sound familiar

01

Orders arrive as voice notes and screenshots

A customer sends a voice note or a photo of a list, someone types it into the system by hand, and the mistake only shows up once the delivery has left.

02

You spend the day answering price and stock questions

How much is it, is it in stock, until what time do you deliver. Every repeated question interrupts a salesperson who could be closing a big order.

03

Wholesalers buy after you've closed

Customers plan their restock at night or on weekends. If nobody answers until Monday, another supplier gets that order.

04

Collecting on credit accounts means chasing people

Sending balances, reminding due dates and resending invoices one by one eats up hours of admin time, and late payments pile up anyway.

FAQ

Common questions in retail and distribution

I have hundreds of products and prices change all the time. How does the assistant avoid giving customers outdated information?

Amiba doesn't keep a separate copy of your catalog: it connects via API to your management system (Odoo, Zoho or any system with an API) and answers with what is loaded there at that moment. When you update a price or stock level in your system, the assistant already replies with the new data, without you loading anything twice. And if a customer asks about something that isn't in your information, it hands the question to a person on your team.

I sell wholesale and each customer has their own price list. Can it quote differently depending on who's writing?

Yes. If your ERP or CRM handles price lists by customer, Amiba answers each one with the list that applies to them, because it checks your data via API when it replies. A retail customer sees counter prices and your regular wholesaler sees their own terms, on the same WhatsApp channel. Prices always come from your system, never from an estimate by the assistant.

My customers send orders as voice notes or a photo of a handwritten list. Can it handle that too?

Yes. Your customers can keep ordering the way they do today, and Amiba builds the order in the same WhatsApp chat, confirming items and quantities with the customer before closing it. If part of the voice note or photo isn't clear, it doesn't guess: it passes the conversation to a person on your team with all the context so the order goes out right.

Many of my customers buy on credit. Does it help with collections or only with sales?

It helps with both: Amiba sells and also handles collections, because the customer gets the payment link in the same WhatsApp conversation. It connects via API to your ERP and tells the customer how much they owe or which invoices are pending, using the real data in your system. And when a collection needs a human touch, the conversation goes to your team with the full history.

My wholesalers are used to dealing with their usual salesperson. Won't they be annoyed if a machine answers?

They don't lose their salesperson: Amiba handles the day-to-day operational work and, as soon as the customer asks to talk to a person, hands the chat to your team with the whole history in view. The salesperson picks up knowing what was discussed, what the customer ordered and what is pending, without making them repeat anything. Plans also include unlimited users, so your whole sales team can work from the platform at no extra cost per person.
