What does Sid say to a buyer asking about Bhiwandi?
Here is a typical first chat, the same one that plays in the phone above. A buyer asks about Bhiwandi, Sid answers, asks the questions your best salesperson would ask and books the next step, all within a few minutes. Your team sees the whole conversation in the shared inbox.

What should manufacturers in Mumbai know before automating WhatsApp?
Buyers sourcing from Bhiwandi, Taloja or the Andheri and TTC MIDC estates usually ask about stock, minimum order and dispatch time in their very first message. Sid learns your industrial areas, such as Bhiwandi, Andheri MIDC and Taloja MIDC, along with your prices, timings and documents, so its answers sound local, not generic.
Sid replies in English, Hindi and Hinglish. If many of your customers in Mumbai write in Marathi, ask us on WhatsApp before you start so we can confirm what works for your account.
How does Sid follow up until the deal closes?
Sid follows up on its own, at the right time, using what the buyer asked about. Inside the 24-hour window it replies freely; after that it uses your approved WhatsApp templates. It stops the moment the buyer replies, books or says no, and your team can take over at any point.
- Same minute: Sid replies to the IndiaMART, JustDial or TradeIndia enquiry with your catalogue and asks for specs and quantity.
- Same chat: Delivery city, timeline and GSTIN captured. A deal is created in Deal Home and assigned to sales.
- After your quote: Sid logs the quotation and schedules follow-ups.
- Day 3, 7 and 14: Sid asks whether the quote works, answers MOQ and delivery questions, and hands negotiation to your team.
