AI desk for distributors — take retailer reorders without missing the depot phone

Beats and depots drown in “stock hai?” calls. Vocora confirms repeat orders, shares dispatch status, and escalates only the odd cases to sales.

Vocora runs Voice AI and WhatsApp AI on the number you already publish — Hindi, English, or Hinglish. Built for Distributors, wholesalers, brand depots.

The distribution & b2b trade phone problem (India)

Indian distribution is still phone-first. Retailers call the depot or salesman for repeats, scheme clarity, and “truck kab aayegi?”. When the line is busy during loading, those rings bounce — and the retailer orders from the next stockist.

Sales teams also lose mornings to routine reorders that could have been confirmed on WhatsApp against a rate / scheme sheet. Personal phones become the system of record; nobody sees the transcript when a credit dispute starts.

Vocora handles routine order capture and status. Pricing exceptions, credit holds, and scheme fights stay with humans.

When loading bay phones go unanswered, retailers do not wait — they call the next stockist. A shared Vocora desk captures routine repeats so salespeople only jump on extras, credit holds, and scheme fights with a full transcript.

How Vocora works for distribution & b2b trade

A typical loop on your published number. Exact scripts are set in a workshop before go-live — integrations beyond CRM / sheet write-back are scoped in the demo.

  1. Retailer calls depot helpline or WhatsApps the published line.
  2. Bot identifies retailer code / phone; reads last order pattern you share.
  3. Repeat SKU list confirmed; extras flagged for salesperson.
  4. Dispatch / invoice status from sheet connector (scoped in demo).
  5. Credit or scheme exception → warm handoff with transcript.
  6. Beat outreach outbound voice for silent retailers on a schedule you set.

At a glance

  • Invoice ages → WA reminder
  • No pay → Voice follow-up
  • Dispute → accounts human
  • Order query → sales on WA
  • Dispatch → template update
  • Outstanding dashboard

Sample · retailer repeat order

Illustrative script — final wording is yours after the workshop. Not a recording of a customer call.

Vocora: Namaste, [Distributor] order desk. Repeat order, dispatch status, ya salesperson se baat?

Retailer: Pichla order repeat — 10 oil, 5 soap.

Vocora: Retailer code confirm? Main hold karti hoon aur WhatsApp pe summary bhejti hoon. Extra cases ke liye salesperson flag hoga.

Retailer: Haan, code R-204.

Vocora: Order note ho gaya. Truck ETA sheet update hone pe WhatsApp notify. Credit hold ho to human desk connect karti hoon.

FAQ — Distribution & B2B Trade

Does Vocora replace my depot front desk?

No. Vocora answers overflow, missed, and after-hours calls on your published number and handles WhatsApp booking or qualification so humans can focus on walk-ins and complex decisions.

Will it work on our existing phone number?

Yes. Voice AI sits on the number you already publish on Google, Justdial, Meta ads, or your board. Customers do not dial a separate robot number.

Can it speak Hindi, English, and Hinglish?

Yes. English, Hindi, and Hinglish are day-one languages. Exact greeting, escalation rules, and phrases are set in your script workshop before go-live.

Is WhatsApp AI live?

Yes. WhatsApp AI and Voice AI are both live on Vocora. Templates, shared inbox, and voice ↔ chat handoffs are scoped in the demo for your vertical.

Do you integrate with our CRM or booking software?

CRM / Google Sheet / email write-back is part of the Voice desk. Deeper industry connectors are scoped in the demo — we do not claim universal one-click magic.

How much does it cost?

Pilots are scoped after a free 15-minute demo. We do not publish a fake rate card. See our AI receptionist cost guide for how Indian voice offerings are typically framed in the market.
