Order entry for distributors and manufacturers in India

Stop typing orders into Tally.

Your customers send orders on WhatsApp, by email, as PDFs, Excel sheets and photos. OrderDak reads every one, checks it against your price list, credit limits and stock, and posts the sales order to Tally. Your team only looks at the orders that need them.

Free during the pilot: no card, no contract.

Sample data: the business, items and prices are invented to show how it works.

Watch it work

See OrderDak handle real orders, in under two minutes.

A pasted WhatsApp order read in seconds, an order held for its credit limit and released with a reason, a phone photo of a printed PO, a duplicate caught, and an approved order ready for Tally. Recorded on a sample company with sample data.

Read the transcript

Your customers send orders on WhatsApp, by email, as PDFs, Excel sheets and photos. Someone types every one into Tally. OrderDak does that work, and checks it.

Every order lands in one inbox, however it arrived. OrderDak reads each one in the background and sorts it: ready to approve, needs review, or not an order at all, like this payment message.

Paste a WhatsApp order, and within seconds it's read: the buyer, the items, the quantities, matched to your own stock items in Tally.

This customer is over their credit limit, so the order waits for you. Every line was matched and checked: rates, stock, pack sizes, duplicate PO numbers, the GSTIN, and IGST because the buyer is in another state.

Release the hold with a reason, and the reason is kept on record. Approve, and it becomes a Tally Sales Order. Import the file in Tally, or let the OrderDak bridge on your Tally PC create it.

Photos and scans of printed orders work too. Anything read from a photo comes to you for a quick check, and OrderDak spotted that this order was already received as an Excel file.

Every step is on record: who read, changed and approved each order, in a log that can't be quietly edited.

We're running free four-week pilots with distributors. Send us your item and customer lists from Tally, and you can be live in an hour.

Distributors and stockists

Electricals, hardware, FMCG, paints, building materials and auto parts: dozens of orders a day from retailers and dealers on WhatsApp and phone photos.

Wholesalers and traders

Manufacturers selling to dealers

Dealer and distributor POs as PDFs and Excel sheets from purchase systems, with PO numbers that must not be entered twice.

Industrial and B2B suppliers

Formal POs by email with GSTINs, delivery dates and rates to check against what you quoted.

How it works

From message to voucher in minutes.

Code fetches the order, AI reads it, your rules decide, and every step is logged.

  1. Forward or drop in

    Forward order emails to your OrderDak address, paste a WhatsApp chat, or drop in PDFs, Excel sheets and photos.

  2. Read

    An AI model reads the order: buyer, items, quantities, rates, dates. Every line is checked against the original message, and unclear lines are marked, never guessed.

  3. Match and check

    Lines are matched to your stock items and checked against your rules.

  4. Approve and post

    Clean orders are ready to approve in one click; exceptions wait in a review queue. Approved orders become Tally Sales Orders: import the file in Tally, or let the OrderDak bridge on your Tally PC create them (beta).

  5. Confirm

    For orders that came by email, the buyer gets an email listing what was accepted, with stock shortages called out. Replies go to you.

Checked before it posts

The rules your best order-desk person applies, every time.

You choose which checks stop an order and which only warn. Corrections your team makes are remembered for that customer.

  • The buyer is matched to the right party ledger by GSTIN, sender or name
  • Each line is matched to your stock item, learning how each customer names it
  • Rates are checked against your item rates, within the tolerance you set
  • The order is checked against credit limit and outstanding
  • Stock, pack sizes and duplicate PO numbers are checked
  • GSTIN check digit is verified and GST is split into CGST + SGST or IGST

Your data stays yours

Each company's data is kept apart from every other's, and your orders are not used to train AI models unless you choose to allow it.

Nothing posts without your rules

The AI reads; it never writes to your ERP. Posting happens only after every blocking rule passes.

Every step on record

Who changed what, when and why, in a hash-chained log you can export for any order.

Questions

Frequently asked

More detail on security and data and pricing.

What is OrderDak?

OrderDak is order-entry software for distributors, wholesalers and manufacturers in India. It reads the purchase orders customers send on WhatsApp, by email, as PDFs, Excel sheets and photos, matches them to your Tally stock items and party ledgers, checks price, credit limit and stock, and creates the sales order in Tally Prime. Your team only reviews the orders that need them. It is made by Surge Software Solutions Private Limited, Bengaluru.

Who is OrderDak for?

Businesses that receive many customer orders a day and type them into Tally by hand: distributors and stockists (electricals, hardware, FMCG, paints, building materials, auto parts), wholesalers, and manufacturers selling to dealers. It helps the owner, the order desk, accounts and the sales team.

How do I start using OrderDak?

Book a free four-week pilot. Share your stock items and customer list from Tally, then forward order emails, paste WhatsApp orders or drop in files. The first orders go to review so OrderDak learns your customers' item names; after that, clean orders are approved in one click.

Can it read Hinglish WhatsApp orders?

Yes. Typed WhatsApp orders in English and Hinglish, including several messages that make up one order, are read today. Paste or forward them; a direct WhatsApp Business connection, handwritten slips and voice notes are in development.

Which ERPs does OrderDak post to?

Tally Prime (3.0 or later, with order processing enabled) today, in beta, and any software through Excel export. Zoho Inventory is next; Zoho Books, Busy, Marg, SAP Business One and Odoo are on the roadmap.

Does the AI post orders into my ERP by itself?

No. The AI only reads the order. Matching, price, credit and stock checks are plain rules you control, and only orders that pass every rule are posted. Everything else waits for one click from your team.

Tally already reads PDFs. Why would I need this?

PDF importers turn a document into a draft voucher. OrderDak also reads pasted or forwarded WhatsApp chats, Excel sheets, photos and scans, learns each customer's names for your items, checks price lists, credit and stock before posting, and emails the buyer a confirmation. Handwriting, voice notes and a direct WhatsApp connection are in development.

How does it connect to Tally on my office PC?

A small OrderDak app runs on the PC where Tally is open. It talks to Tally on that PC only and connects out to OrderDak over HTTPS. Nothing from the internet can reach your Tally.

What happens to my data?

Your orders are used only to run OrderDak for you, kept separate from every other customer's data, and not used to train AI models unless you choose to allow it. Every step on every order is written to an audit log that cannot be edited without detection. Before launch we publish the full list of services that process your data and where they are.

What does it cost?

It is free during the pilot: no card, no contract. We are setting prices together with our first distributors, and nothing is ever charged without your agreement.
