Enabling Retail Ordering and Customer Engagement through WhatsApp
SlingVerse designed a WhatsApp commerce blueprint for product catalog, ordering, loyalty points, customer support, and retailer engagement.
01
The Challenge
- -Retailers were placing orders through calls and WhatsApp messages.
- -Sales teams had to manually confirm product availability and pricing.
- -Catalogs were shared as PDFs or images, which became outdated quickly.
- -Loyalty points were difficult to track transparently.
- -Customer support and order updates were handled manually.
- -The business wanted a conversational commerce solution that worked through WhatsApp.
Manual Order Capture
Orders were received through unstructured WhatsApp chats and calls.
Outdated Catalogs
PDF and image-based catalogs were difficult to keep updated.
No Loyalty Visibility
Customers and retailers could not easily check points or rewards.
Operational Delay
Sales teams spent time confirming products, prices, and order details manually.
No Unified Customer History
Customer conversations and order history were scattered.
02
The Solution
- -Customers and retailers could interact with the business through WhatsApp.
- -The system would show product categories, prices, offers, and availability.
- -Users could place orders through guided WhatsApp flows.
- -The loyalty engine would track points and rewards.
- -Admins could manage products, orders, customers, and campaign messages.
- -The system could later integrate with ERP, inventory, delivery tracking, and payment systems.
