Kholo turns customer messages and voice notes into accurate, confirmed orders — automatically. Without changing how your customers buy.
Your customers order on WhatsApp. Kholo handles everything after that.
The expensive problem is the human bottleneck in between.
Customer message
"Morning boss, send me 10 cases Coke, 5 Iwisa and 2 Albany brown. Same price as last time."
WhatsApp Message / Voice Note
"Morning boss, send me 10 cases Coke, 5 Iwisa and 2 Albany brown. Same price as last time."
Order #8921 Created
Ready for picking on the warehouse floor
The biggest fear with AI order automation is shipping the wrong pallet. When Kholo is confident, the order moves forward. When something doesn't look right, Kholo stops and asks a human.
"Send 10 cases Coke 500ml."
Customer known, SKU matched with certainty, contract price applied, stock verified in ERP. Pushed straight to warehouse pick slip.
"Add 5 Albany brown."
Ambiguous unit (5 loaves vs 5 crates). Held for one-click clerk confirmation in dashboard before anything hits your ERP.
"Need stock for tomorrow."
No specific quantities or unmapped phone number. Routed to sales desk as a clarification task. Never blindly entered.
No forms. No portals. Just human trade language structured into ERP line items.
Morning boss, please send 4 cases Coke 500, 2 Iwisa 10kg and 10 Albany brown. Same delivery address as Tuesday.

Kholo handles the entire order lifecycle from initial customer message to dispatch.
Identifies who is ordering, decodes regional slang, transcribes voice notes, and resolves ambiguous phrases like "the usual".
Applies buyer-specific contract price tiers, queries real-time stock levels, and flags potential credit or unit errors before confirmation.
Syncs directly to Sage, Xero, Syspro, or custom ERPs. Generates warehouse pick slips and sends dispatch notices automatically.
Builds per-customer buying profiles over time. Knows exactly what each shop owner typically orders and on what days.
No replacing your ERP. No forcing customers onto a new ordering portal. Kholo sits as the intelligence layer between WhatsApp and your back office.
Offline or closed ERP? Kholo generates printable warehouse pick slips directly from the browser.
The more you process, the lower your effective cost per order.
