Orders on chat
The bottleneck. Orders arrive through DMs and are noted in notebooks.
The Zoho fix. WhatsApp/Instagram leads captured into Zoho CRM/Desk and converted to sales orders.
Zoho Solutions for Selling on Instagram, WhatsApp & Facebook
We implement Zoho Commerce, Inventory, Books and Zoho Desk's WhatsApp integration so social-media sellers can turn DMs and comments into tracked orders, invoices and stock updates.

Industry Challenges
What Instagram, WhatsApp & Facebook Sellers Struggle With
Orders Lost in DMs and Chats
Orders come in through Instagram DMs, WhatsApp chats and Facebook comments with no central record, so orders get missed or double-booked.
No Real Stock Count During Live Sales
During Instagram/Facebook live sales, staff can't confirm real-time stock, leading to overselling and cancellations.
Manual Invoicing & Payment Follow-Up
Every sale needs a manually typed invoice and payment reminder sent separately, eating hours daily.
No Repeat-Customer Data
There's no record of what a customer bought before, so there's no way to target them with relevant offers.
The ERPHUBs Approach
Your Zoho Solution Stack, Mapped to Each Requirement
Requirement: Order Capture From Chat to System
Solution: Zoho Desk (WhatsApp) + CRM
Orders confirmed over WhatsApp or Instagram DM are logged into a central order system instead of staying buried in chat threads.
Requirement: Real-Time Stock Visibility
Solution: Zoho Inventory + Commerce
Stock counts update in real time as orders are confirmed, so staff running a live sale can see exactly what's available.
Requirement: Automated Invoicing & Payment Reminders
Solution: Zoho Books
VAT invoices are generated automatically from each confirmed order, with automated payment reminders sent to customers.
Requirement: Customer Purchase History & Targeted Offers
Solution: Zoho CRM + Campaigns
Every customer's order history is tracked, enabling targeted WhatsApp/email offers based on what they've bought before.
