Inventory.Quotes.In real time.

A live inventory dashboard with instant quote generation. Fed by warehouse delivery slips sent over WhatsApp by a father-son family business that ran the steel yard on paper for thirty years.

POSSIBILITY STUDY · 02

Quotes go out on WhatsApp. Half are forgotten.

A possibility study. We built this concept end to end as a working prototype, inspired by the real operational bottleneck of a B2B steel trading company. The same system can be commissioned, customized, and shipped to your business in 7 days.

Sound like your business? Industrial wholesalers. Building material suppliers. Any B2B running quotes on WhatsApp. The pattern is the same.

We have already imagined this. Let's explore yours →

Rajesh and his son Rahul, second and third generation owners of Bharat Steel, in their Ahmedabad warehouse

THE FAMILY

Two generations.
One Excel sheet.

Rajesh started Bharat Steel in 1992 with three rebar suppliers and a Tata 407. Rahul joined the business in 2018 after an engineering degree. The yard runs on paper challans, WhatsApp photos of delivery slips, and a single shared Excel sheet that nobody trusts.

When a buyer calls asking for 20 tonnes of 12mm TMT bars, someone has to physically walk the yard. Then call back. Then handwrite a quote. Then negotiate. Half the calls end in silence because a competitor answered faster.

THE BUSINESS

When a buyer calls asking for 12mm TMT bars, Fe500D grade, 20 tonnes, Rahul has to call the office. Someone checks the Excel. Calls back. 15 to 30 minutes.
