Photo of Order List Automation — TarkApp
For many Indian B2B distributors, the bulk of their daily sales orders arrive not through an online portal, but as a photo of a scribbled order list sent over WhatsApp. While stock photo sites might show perfectly neat, typewritten lists, the reality on the ground is usually a hasty photo of a notepad with regional abbreviations and crossed-out items.
Why Photos Are an ERP Bottleneck
When a sales representative receives an image of an order, the process stalls. The image cannot be directly uploaded into Tally or Marg. A human must physically open the photo, interpret the buyer's handwriting, search for the corresponding item codes in the ERP, check if the items are in stock, and then manually type out a sales order. This leads to severe delays during peak dispatch hours.
How TarkApp Automates Photo Orders
TarkApp turns a simple photo into an actionable ERP entry. When a buyer sends a picture of their order list on WhatsApp, TarkApp's AI vision engine scans the image and extracts the line items and quantities.
It doesn't just digitize the text; it uses fuzzy matching to link the handwritten items to your exact master SKU list. TarkApp then cross-references this with your live inventory and the specific B2B pricing for that retailer, instantly generating a fully structured sales order draft.
