Dealer Order App: Dealers order from a link. No order sits in a chat.

Each dealer opens your price list on a phone and orders at any hour, with the scheme worked out. The order reaches your office list at once. One that crosses the credit limit waits for your yes.

How it runs today

  • Orders come on WhatsApp, on calls and through salesmen, and one or two are missed every week.
  • A dealer sends an order at night and it is seen the next afternoon, after the vehicle has left.
  • The office types every order again, and a wrong item or quantity goes out.
  • Goods are sent to a dealer who is already over the credit limit, because nobody checked the ledger.
  • Dealers call to ask the rate, the scheme and where their order is.

What is inside

Every part, spelled out

🔗

Dealer order link

Each dealer has a link of their own. It opens on any phone, with no app to install and no password to remember.

🏷

Price list and schemes

Products, packs and dealer prices in one list. Change a price or a scheme once and every dealer sees it on the link.

🗂

Order board

Every order in its stage: new, accepted, packed, dispatched. A new order that has waited long turns red.

🛑

Credit limit check

An order that takes a dealer over the credit limit is held. The owner gets the figures on WhatsApp and says yes or no.

🚚

Dispatch and status

The transporter and LR number are saved with the order. The dealer gets the status on WhatsApp.

🌙

Day report

One message to the owner: orders received and their value, what was dispatched, and which dealers are over the limit.

How dealer orders get lost today

A dealer sends the order on WhatsApp, calls the office, or tells the salesman during a visit. The office types it again for packing and billing. One order sits unread in a chat, another is typed with the wrong quantity, and a third is from a dealer who has not paid for two months. Each of these is found late: after the vehicle has left, or after the goods have gone.

What changes

  • Each dealer orders from a link of their own, at any hour, from your current price list.
  • The price and the scheme are worked out on the order, so the office does not calculate them again.
  • Every order is in one list the moment it is placed, with the time it has been waiting.
  • An order that takes a dealer over the credit limit is held for the owner's yes or no.
  • Packing and dispatch are marked on the order, with the transporter and LR number.
  • The dealer gets the status on WhatsApp, without calling the office.

What it does not do

It is not an online store: there is no payment gateway and no public catalogue. Dealers pay as they do today. It does not make GST invoices or e-way bills, and it does not keep the ledger. Those stay in Tally or Busy, and outstanding amounts are loaded from there. It also does not replace your salesmen. They can book orders in it, and they still visit the dealers.

What we need from you

  • Your product list with packs, dealer prices and current schemes
  • Your dealer list with town, phone number, salesman and credit limit
  • An outstanding report from Tally or Busy
  • One person in the office who will accept the orders every day
  • An hour for the demo and an hour for training

Questions

Before you ask

Do dealers have to install an app?+

No. Each dealer gets a link on WhatsApp. It opens in the phone browser with their name and your price list. They can add it to the home screen if they like.

Can dealers pay online through it?+

No. It is an order system, not an online store with a payment gateway. Dealers pay you as they do today, and the payment is entered in Tally or Busy.

Where do the outstanding and the credit limit come from?+

You set the credit limit for each dealer. Outstanding amounts are loaded from a Tally or Busy export, which your accounts person uploads daily or weekly. It takes about a minute.

Does it make the GST invoice?+

No. Invoices and e-way bills are made in Tally or Busy as today. The accepted order can be printed or exported, so billing does not have to read it from a chat.

What about orders that still come on WhatsApp or through a salesman?+

They go into the same list. A salesman books the order for the dealer from the phone, and your office can enter a WhatsApp order in under a minute. You can keep both ways for as long as you like.

How long does it take to start?+

About two weeks for one process, including loading your current data and training your staff. You first see a demo on your own data, before you pay anything.

Is it charged per user?+

No. The setup has one fixed price and the monthly plan is flat. Add as many staff as you have.

Where is our data kept?+

Your quote explains the two options: on a server we run for you, or on your own server. Either way the data is yours and you can export it at any time.
