What is WhatsApp order management software?

WhatsApp order management software turns orders that arrive as chat messages into proper order records: product, quantity, customer details, payment and delivery status, in one list your team can work from. Without it, orders live in scrolled-up chats, screenshots and a spreadsheet. Nodi goes a step further: its AI employee takes the order in the chat itself, in English or Arabic, then keeps the customer updated until it's delivered. If you're still running orders by hand on the free app, our guide to WhatsApp order management shows how to do it well first.

What an order looks like in the chat

An example of a customer ordering on WhatsApp, with Nodi's AI employee answering from the shop's own catalog.

  1. Customer: Hi, is the black abaya still available in size 54?
  2. Nodi: Hi! Yes, the Classic Black Abaya comes in size 54. It's AED 289 (≈ $79) / ৳9,700 and delivery in Dubai takes 1–2 days. Would you like to order it?
  3. Customer: Yes please, deliver to Al Barsha
  4. Nodi: Great. Your order: Classic Black Abaya, size 54, AED 289 (≈ $79) / ৳9,700 + AED 15 (≈ $4) / ৳500 delivery = AED 304 (≈ $83) / ৳10,000. You can pay by card here: [payment link] Or choose cash on delivery.
  5. Customer: Paid by card
  6. Nodi: Thank you, payment received. Your order is confirmed. I'll message you when it's on its way.
Example conversation for illustration. Nodi answers from your own products, prices and policies; you choose what it can say.

Chat orders get lost between the messages

When orders come in on WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook, the details end up spread across chats, voice notes and screenshots. Someone retypes them into a spreadsheet, the same item gets sold twice, and customers keep asking where their parcel is. The busier the shop, the more orders slip.

  • No order record outside the chat
  • Stock that doesn't match what's been promised
  • Unconfirmed cash-on-delivery orders that come back
  • "Where is my order?" messages all day
