Product-Name Understanding for Distributors — TarkApp

tarkapp.com

While generic data-science articles discuss name-cleaning for CRM data or merging databases, B2B distributors face a very specific, high-velocity problem: retailers constantly order products using misspelled, colloquial, or abbreviated names on WhatsApp.

A retailer might type "50g red paste" when your strict ERP master catalog lists "Colgate MaxFresh Red 50g Box". Without intelligent matching, a standard bot will fail to understand the order, forcing a human sales rep to manually search the ERP and translate the buyer's language into the correct SKU.

Understanding How Your Buyers Actually Write

TarkApp brings that understanding directly to your WhatsApp ordering channel. TarkApp is built for Indian wholesale and understands phonetic misspellings, colloquial terms, and unit abbreviations.

When a retailer sends a messy order via WhatsApp (text, voice, or photo), TarkApp doesn't just look for exact keyword matches. It confidently maps the buyer's informal language to the exact, formal SKUs in your Tally or Marg database. It then automatically drafts a sales order, applying the correct B2B pricing and checking live stock, eliminating the need for manual SKU lookups.
