Our Product: Sanifu Sanifu enables manufacturers and distributors to automate the entry of sales orders from emails and WhatsApp into their ERP systems. By extracting customer order details from various formats—including emails, PDFs, and handwritten notes—and accurately entering the data into ERP systems, Sanifu significantly reduces manual data entry time and errors.

Sanifu: Automating the entry of sales orders into ERP systems
See original launch post ›

Hi everyone, we’re Sidney, Phelix, and Bernard. We’re on a mission to help manufacturers and distributors across Africa automate the entry of sales orders from emails and WhatsApp into their ERP systems. Our solution eliminates costly errors and missed sales, allowing teams to focus on their core operations and enhancing customer service.

Problem:

Sales teams spend 80% of their day manually entering sales orders from Emails and WhatsApp into ERP systems. The occasional errors in manual entry result in costly sales returns and missed sales. This process is also time-consuming, which not only leads to delayed deliveries but also consumes valuable time they could spend on core functions like sales and customer support, hence impacting customer satisfaction, employee productivity, and overall revenue.

Solution:

Sanifu automates the extraction and entry of order details from various channels, like Emails and WhatsApp, into ERP systems much faster and at a fraction of the cost, thereby allowing sales teams to focus on higher-value tasks like sales and customer engagement.

How it works

  1. Sanifu is integrated into ordering channels like Emails and WhatsApp, enabling it to automatically pick incoming sales orders.
  2. Sanifu proceeds to extract the sales order data like products, shipping addresses, etc., and matches the data to the internal ERP database
  3. Sanifu creates the sales orders in the ERP.

Asks or Offers:

If you are in the B2B supply chain and face these challenges, we invite you to reach out to us. For others, please introduce us to those who might benefit from Sanifu.
