The job to be done
Turn chat and voice orders into records automatically
When a small wholesaler, shop or clinic receives orders and intake through WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, voice notes and scanned forms, staff need those inputs converted into purchase sheets, invoices and filed records automatically, so they stop losing hours to manual copy-paste and replies.
