Lower overhead · Forward-deployed
The same order, typed three times.
Orders arrive by chat and email, then get retyped into the sales system, the warehouse sheet and the accounts. We connect the steps so each order is entered once.
What it looked like
- Sales staff spend afternoons copying orders between screens.
- The warehouse works from a different list than finance.
- Typos turn into wrong deliveries and angry calls.
02 · What we did, stage by stage
What we did, stage by stage
- Assess
We count every screen an order is keyed into and how many hours that takes each week.
- Automate
Orders are read from WhatsApp and email, checked against stock and created once in your ERP.
- Optimise
We measure exceptions for a month and remove the causes of the ones that still need a person.
- Run
A capped retainer covers monitoring, fixes and new order channels as you add them.
03 · The process
Order to cash from WhatsApp
A WhatsApp order becomes a sales order, an e-invoice and a reconciled payment, without retyping.

Questions
Do we have to change our ERP?
No, Devvion works with the ERP you run, whether Odoo, Zoho, Business Central or SAP Business One. We connect to it through its own interfaces, and you own every integration we build.
What happens to orders the system cannot read?
Devvion designs every flow with a person on the hard cases. Unclear orders go to a named salesperson with the message and a suggested match, and each correction teaches the next one.
