What ShopSmart is trying to fix.

Corner-shop owners (kirana walas) don't have time for POS software. Most track stock in a notebook. When something runs out, they realise only when a customer walks away disappointed.

ShopSmart is an AI bot that lives inside WhatsApp. The shopkeeper just types 'sold 2 Maggi' or 'got 10 Amul milk' in Hinglish, and the bot maintains inventory quietly in the background. Low-stock alerts, weekly summaries, monthly re-order suggestions.

Design principle
"The best software for a shop is the one they already use."

Three steps, no learning curve.

01

Text it like a friend

Add ShopSmart on WhatsApp. Type sales and restocks in Hinglish, Kannada, or Hindi — however you talk.

02

Let AI do the ledger

The bot maps every message to a product, updates stock counts, and flags anything ambiguous back to you.

03

Get daily summaries

Every night, get a 3-line WhatsApp report: what sold, what's low, what to order tomorrow.

The stack.
