A photo of the part. The order placed.
We are building a WhatsApp ordering system for a UK trade distributor. Customers check stock and add to their orders themselves, instead of queueing for a salesperson, and every answer comes from the distributor's own ERP.
How an order moves.
01
A photo in
A trade customer sends a photo of the product they need over WhatsApp, the app already on their phone.
02
The part identified
Our multimodal AI identifies the product across a catalogue of tens of thousands of lines.
03
Priced by the ERP
The distributor's own systems supply customer-specific pricing and live stock. The model never sets a price.
04
The order out
The order is added through the distributor's ERP, where their team already works.
Why this isn't a sideline.
Salespeople at a distributor spend much of the day answering “have you got it, and what does it cost me?” That is exactly the kind of work our systems take on, so the sales team can spend their time selling.
It is also familiar ground. Our co-founder Dave Solomon ran UK sales into the distributor trade before co-founding Velstar.

Two ways in.
You run a dealership or motor group
Book a 15-minute revenue review. We look at your lead sources, lease renewals and systems, and show you in pounds what is recoverable before we talk price.

Legal, finance, retail, distribution or something we haven't listed. New work starts with a paid discovery: we map the process, the systems it touches and the number worth moving, then tell you whether a build will pay back.
