FlowKartAI— back to home

About us

Distribution runs on WhatsApp.
The software never caught up.

Across India, orders between distributors and the shops they supply already happen on WhatsApp — as voice notes, as photos of handwritten parchas, as messages like “bhaiya 20 parle g, 10 surf bhejo jaldi”. Someone at the distributor then retypes all of it into Tally.

That retyping is the problem we are working on. FlowKartAI reads the conversation the way a person would, turns it into a structured order, and hands your accounting software something it can import — without asking a single retailer to change how they order.

How we work

Meet retailers where they already are

The average kirana owner will not install another app, and should not have to. WhatsApp is already open on their phone. Everything we build has to work inside a conversation, in the language they actually type.

No markup on Meta's rate

We charge for our software, not for the privilege of passing your messages along. You pay Meta's standard conversation rate, and nothing on top of it to us.

Your data stays yours

Your catalog and your retailer list are the business. We process them to run the service and for nothing else — no resale, no training models for anyone else's benefit.

Say what is true, including when it is unflattering

We are pre-launch. We have no customers yet, no security certification and no uptime SLA. You will find all three stated plainly in our policies rather than dressed up.

The company

FlowKartAI is a product of Grentholix, operating from India and building for Indian distribution first — GST, Hinglish, Tally, UPI, credit ledgers and all. The same product then extends outward to markets with the same WhatsApp-led ordering behaviour.

We are small and pre-launch. There is no sales floor and no support queue: the person who replies to your email is the person building the thing.

Who is behind it

A small product and engineering team working on this full time, based in India. Between us we have spent enough time inside distributor back-offices to know what a day of order entry actually looks like, and enough time in code to be dangerous about removing it.

We keep the team page light on purpose. What matters at this stage is whether the product does what we say it does — and you can judge that from the writing below and from the demo, both of which are free.
