Distrimaros and Sidimel replaced WhatsApp voice notes and spreadsheets with an ordering platform that automates order taking, inventory, and dispatch. A salesperson now processes in 5 minutes what previously took 40.
Salespeople at Distrimaros and Sidimel took orders via WhatsApp — voice notes, photos of handwritten lists, text messages with incomplete reference codes. Then, someone transcribed them into Excel and passed them to the dispatch department. The process had three points of failure: manual transcription, ambiguous reference codes, and zero real-time visibility into inventory.
The result was predictable: frequent order errors, returns that cost more in logistics than the order itself, customers left in the dark about their delivery status, and salespeople spending half their day on paperwork instead of selling.
We built an order management platform integrated with an AI agent for WhatsApp:
Reduction in order errors
Automatic validation against the catalog eliminated incorrect reference codes and wrong quantities.
Processing speed
Each salesperson processes three times more orders per shift without expanding the team or increasing effort.
Batch traceability
Each dispatched product has a complete record: who ordered it, when it shipped, and who received it.
"Before, a salesperson took 40 minutes entering a large order. Now, the customer places it themselves in 5, and we just approve. The sales team doubled its portfolio without hiring anyone else."
