Frequently asked questions

Can an AI voice agent take orders from retailers?

Yes. It calls retailers on a schedule, mentions what they usually order, asks what they need this week, captures products and quantities, and sends the order to the distributor's team or system for confirmation.

What else can distributor calls cover?

Outstanding payment reminders with a payment link, new product or scheme announcements, delivery-day confirmation, and feedback on the salesman's visit.

How does the AI know what the retailer usually orders?

Pass it as variables from your sales data, such as last order date and top items. The agent uses them to prompt: 'Last time you took 20 cartons of X; same again?'

Which languages work for retailer calls?

Hindi, Hinglish, Gujarati, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali and other Indian languages, matched to the region.

How much does an order-taking call cost?

On Edesy, calls cost Rs 4-6 per started minute depending on your prepaid top-up, with unanswered calls free. A repeat-order call usually takes one to two minutes.
