How can a wholesaler invoice and chase money on WhatsApp?

Message Mei the customer and the items on WhatsApp, for example “Ah Seng, 3 boxes, RM480”. She prepares the invoice or quotation, you check it and reply 1, and it goes to the customer. Unpaid invoices are reminded for you, and a transfer slip is matched to the invoice it pays. Sales orders and delivery orders are opened on the Boss web page today, not by WhatsApp.

Where wholesale paperwork gets stuck

Orders come in by chat, someone types them again later, slips arrive as photos, and who owes what sits in one person's head. Every step is a chance to mistype an amount or forget a customer.

What you do on WhatsApp

Send the customer name and what they took. Mei shows you the invoice first. Reply 1 and it is issued. If you meant something else, say undo. When a customer sends a transfer slip, Mei reads the amount, the reference and who it was paid to, and matches it to the invoice. If the money went to another account or the reference was used before, she warns you first.

What is done on the web instead

Sales orders and delivery orders are opened on the Boss web page. You can send goods in parts and bill once at month end, and the stock goes down once. Doing this by WhatsApp is not available yet, so we do not say it is. Customers who have not paid are reminded on the schedule you set, and the customer statement shows who still owes you.
