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

Distribution & B2B Trade · AI Customer Support · India

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](https://vocora.in/voice-ai) and [WhatsApp AI](https://vocora.in/whatsapp-ai) on the number you already publish — Hindi, English, or Hinglish. Built for Distributors, wholesalers, brand depots.

## Context for this vertical (public figures)

Market scale and channel facts below are from public sources — not Vocora customer metrics. We do not invent conversion rates or “X businesses live.”

## 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.

## What breaks when the desk cannot pick up

### Pains

- Depot phone busy during loading — retailers bounce to the next stockist
- Sales mornings wasted on routine repeats
- Dispatch status chased on personal WhatsApp
- No transcript when credit disputes start

### Voice · live

- Depot / helpline receptionist for missed rings
- Outbound beat / reorder outreach on your schedule
- Callback when WhatsApp order is incomplete
- Human escalate for credit and scheme fights

- Scheme FAQ macros you approve
- Shared inbox for sales + depot
- Exception queue for extras and credit holds

## 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

## 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.
