Where the trade already works
No dealer is going to move their trading into new software because a vendor would prefer it. The deals start in WhatsApp and they will keep starting there, so the useful thing is to make the listing and the enquiry travel between the two without anyone retyping them.

What the integration covers
- A listing, forwarded
- A watch from your inventory sent into a chat or a group as photographs, reference, year, condition and price, formatted the way the trade already writes it.
- Your own number
- Messages go out from your business number rather than from a platform account, so the person receiving one sees the shop they already deal with.
- Enquiries come back as leads
- An inbound question about a forwarded listing is recorded against that watch, so the interest is on the record rather than in a scroll-back.
- Attached to a contact
- A number that matches a contact is filed against them. One that does not becomes a new contact you can complete later.
- Answers you have already written
- Templates for the questions every dealer answers twenty times a week: still available, best price, with papers, shipping to where.
