- WhatsApp ordering and order updates
- Route and van-sales intelligence

## How is AI used in retail and distribution?

Retailers and distributors use AI to predict demand, plan stock, recommend what each customer should order next, and answer customer questions about products, prices and deliveries.

The biggest gains come from connecting the data that already exists (sales, stock, purchasing, routes and customer conversations), so every decision is made on the full picture instead of last month's report.

## Retail and distribution problems we solve

### "We run out of best sellers and overstock slow lines." → Inventory Forecasting

Reads sales and stock → Predicts demand → Drafts purchase orders → Requests approval

Reorders are placed before shelves go empty, and slow stock is flagged early.

### "Our salespeople don't know what each customer should reorder." → Sales Intelligence

Reads customer history → Spots missing items → Suggests the next order → Tracks the result

Every visit and call comes with a personalised recommendation.

### "Customers order on WhatsApp and staff re-type everything." → WhatsApp Ordering Agent

Reads the order → Checks stock and price → Confirms with the customer → Creates the sales order

Orders flow into the ERP accurately, and staff only handle exceptions.
