The chaos of manual WhatsApp sales management that consumed hours every day and led to lost sales opportunities.

Repetitive pre-sale questions

The team spent hours answering the same questions about their 50+ products, such as "Do you have this dress in red?" or "What is the price for this outfit?"

Manual order creation

Payment link friction

They then had to manually generate a payment link from Razorpay and paste it back into the chat, a process that was slow and often led to customers dropping off before completing their purchase.
