40 minute mein ek quotation — bahut zyada hai
The Headache
Buyer asks for a quote on WhatsApp. You open Excel, check rates, calculate, type into Word, make PDF, send. 40 minutes. Meanwhile 3 other inquiries came in. One won't wait.
The Fix
Forward the inquiry to a WhatsApp number. Get back a branded PDF quote in 3 minutes. Review and send.
Purana customer wapas aane wala hai — aur aapko pata hi nahi
The Headache
You've done 800+ projects over 12 years. Right now, 150 past clients probably need you again. But the data is buried in Tally invoices and old Excel files.
The Fix
Every Monday, WhatsApp tells you: "3 clients due for repeat business this month." You call. They already trust you.
Vendor ko 6 baar chase karte ho. WhatsApp ko karne do.
The Headache
You order material from 15 vendors. After placing an order: "Maal kab aayega?" Call. "Kal." Tomorrow: nothing. Call again. 2 hours/day just chasing deliveries.
The Fix
You tell the system: "Ordered 500kg from Gupta Steel, delivery by 15th." On the 14th, WhatsApp reminds them. You only step in for exceptions.
Stock khatam hone se pehle pata chalna chahiye
The Headache
You stock 200+ components. Last Tuesday, production needed 50 MCBs. Stock had 12. Nobody knew until the worker went to the store. Lost 2 days waiting.
The Fix
Your existing Excel stock file gets simple rules. Every morning at 8 AM, WhatsApp: "Low stock: MCB 32A (12 left)." One tap to forward to supplier.
WhatsApp pe complaint aayi — aur kho gayi
The Headache
Distributors send complaints on WhatsApp. The complaint sits in a group with 200 other messages. By the time you find it, it's buried under orders and good morning images.
The Fix
Dedicated WhatsApp number for complaints. Anything sent: logged, categorized, linked to batch. Weekly report: "7 complaints. 4 about packaging. All from March batches."
Ek baar data daalo — char document ban jaaye
The Headache
Your clerk types the same data — party name, items, quantity, rate, GST — into the Tally invoice, delivery challan, packing list, and e-way bill. Four documents, same data, typed four times.
The Fix
Clerk enters data once in Tally. The system generates: delivery challan, packing list, and pre-fills e-way bill. One source of truth.
Har shipment mein 13 documents — AI 12 bhar deta hai
The Headache
You export auto parts. Every container needs 13 documents. Your clerk spends 3 days per shipment. One wrong field = container stuck at customs = Rs 50K/day demurrage.
The Fix
Fill one master form per shipment. AI generates all supporting documents from templates trained on your previous shipments. 3 hours instead of 3 days.
Payment due hai 3 din mein — Tally ne AI ko bataya, AI ne client ko
The Headache
Rs 85L outstanding from 40+ clients. Your accountant checks Tally, makes a list, calls each client. Some get angry. Some claim they never got the invoice. Working capital stuck.
The Fix
7 days before due: polite WhatsApp with invoice attached. 1 day before: gentle reminder. 3 days overdue: you get flagged. Tone: helpful assistant, not collection agency.
IndiaMART se 50 leads aaye — kis ko call karu pehle?
The Headache
40-60 IndiaMART leads per day. 80% are students, competitors, or accidental clicks. The real buyers get the same slow response. By the time you reach them, they've called 5 competitors.
The Fix
Every morning at 9 AM, WhatsApp: "3 hot leads today: [Company, inquiry, score, phone]." You call the 3 that matter. Before competitors finish scrolling.
Machine ki service 47 ghante mein due hai
The Headache
8 CNC machines. Manufacturer says service every 500 hours. Nobody tracks running hours. Last month a spindle bearing seized. 4 days downtime. Rs 2.8L in repairs + lost production.
The Fix
Operator WhatsApps "Machine 3 started" and "stopped" daily. AI counts hours. At 450: "Service due in ~47 hours." No sensors. No IoT. Just WhatsApp and arithmetic.
Camera bole reject — ship hone se pehle
The Headache
Your factory makes tiles. Workers inspect 200 boxes/day. They're tired by afternoon. A bad batch slips through. The retailer sends it back. You eat freight + replacement + reputation.
The Fix
Camera at packing station. AI trained on your "good vs bad" samples. Flags defects real-time. Defect rate drops from 3% to <0.5%.
3 godowns, 1 sach
The Headache
3 warehouses. Each storekeeper maintains their own Excel. You need 200 units of Part X. Bhosari says "50 hai." Chakan says "check karna padega." Hinjewadi's storekeeper is on leave.
The Fix
One shared view. Storekeeper updates via WhatsApp: "Part X: 180." You get: "Part X: 280 total (Bhosari: 50, Chakan: 50, Hinjewadi: 180). Discrepancy: 20 units."
How It Works
From WhatsApp to working system in 7 days.
Day 1–2: Discovery
We join a call. You show us your biggest headache. We map the exact data flows, tools, and people involved. No jargon, no decks.
Day 3–5: Build
We build using your existing WhatsApp, Excel, and Tally. No new software for your team to learn. We wire the AI to what you already use.
Day 6: Test with your data
We run it on real factory scenarios. You break it. We fix it. Same day.
Day 7: Go live
Your team uses it. We stay on WhatsApp for 2 weeks post-launch to fix anything that comes up.
The Math
₹29,999 vs the alternatives.
| Option | Cost | Time to value | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hire an IT person | ₹40,000–60,000/month | 3–6 months to ramp up | Leaves. Takes knowledge. |
| Custom software agency | ₹3–10 lakhs upfront | 6–12 months | Built for "factories in general," not yours. |
| Basalt: 1 problem, 1 week | ₹29,999 | 7 days | Works or we fix it. WhatsApp support for 2 weeks. |
