WhatsApp ERP · Sri Lanka · Pre-launch
Relay turns every WhatsApp message into a structured order, invoice, COD reconciliation, and customer record. Built here, for here — Sinhala, Tamil, and English; Domex, Pronto and PickMe; LKR and cash on delivery.
No credit card. Free for small teams at launch.
Your customers already know how to order — they send a WhatsApp message. Relay reads the message in Sinhala, Tamil, or English, matches products from your catalog, and drafts a reply with prices, delivery, and confirmation in one tap.
The inbox collapses into an action queue. Unread WhatsApp conversations, AI drafts awaiting your approval, orders pending confirmation, low stock, COD to settle — all in one card that tells you exactly what to do next.
Every confirmed order generates a line item, an invoice, a stock deduction, and a delivery handoff — linked back to the customer, their phone number, their district, and the exact WhatsApp thread. Nothing is typed twice.
The UI ships in English, සිංහල and தமிழ். The AI that drafts replies reads Singlish and code-switched messages — because that’s how your customers actually type.
Couriers wired up with real tracking, real COD reconciliation, real handoff windows. No Stripe, no DHL, no assumptions about how Sri Lankan delivery actually works.
Cash on delivery is the default, not an afterthought. Reports show numbers in lakhs and crores when that’s how you read them. Mobile wallets (Genie, mCash, eZ Cash) coming.
Relay is pre-launch. The stories below describe the operators we’re building for — grocery shops, boutiques, and traders who already run on WhatsApp and need the back-office to catch up.
