Why Wasrio
What costs you, and what Wasrio does about it.
The real choice is not between one app and another. It is between the patchwork you run today and a single system that reads the order in either language, invoices it with your TRN on it, and gets you paid across 60 and 90-day terms.
Typical problems we see with distribution businesses
The challenges we see real distributors deal with every day, and how Wasrio solves each one.
1Your money is sitting in a drawer of cheques and a set of 60 and 90-day terms
The usual approach
A spreadsheet of cheque dates, and someone remembering which ones are due to bank this week.
What Wasrio does
Wasrio shows what is overdue and by how long against the terms you actually gave, and where your cheques stand. What is genuinely overdue and what is simply not due yet stop being the same number.
2Orders arrive in Arabic, in English, or both inside the same message
The usual approach
Someone on your team reads it, translates it in their head, and retypes it into an invoice.
What Wasrio does
Wasrio reads free-text orders in Arabic and English, including the mix people actually type, and turns the message into a priced order without a second pass.
3Every invoice has to carry your TRN and 5% VAT, in both languages
The usual approach
A template someone edits by hand, and a scramble at filing when the numbering has gaps in it.
What Wasrio does
Wasrio issues the VAT invoice in Arabic and English with your TRN on it, numbered in sequence, and is built to meet the UAE e-invoicing requirements as they change.
4You are owed money across many accounts and cannot see what is overdue
The usual approach
Keep memory and track it in a spreadsheet. Or use a chase tool that sits on top of your accounting system, but the invoice has to exist there first.
What Wasrio does
Wasrio tracks every balance and how far it has aged in one live view, runs the follow-up on your schedule, and provides payment capability on every invoice and every reminder, so your customer can pay by card directly from WhatsApp. Getting paid is the part we lead with, not an add-on.
5You do not have time to learn new software, and neither do your customers
The usual approach
A portal or field app your customers have to adopt, which they will not.
What Wasrio does
Your customers keep ordering on the same WhatsApp number they already use. There is nothing new for them to install or learn.
6You are tired of renting your own tools
The usual approach
Software priced per seat, sometimes adding hidden fees on top, that you never stop paying for and never own.
What Wasrio does
You run it on a managed monthly plan. No upfront costs, no per-user fees, no hidden charges. Prices are published on the pricing page.
"Our customers are really enjoying the new way of ordering and I've received quite a few messages from clients saying how much easier it is for them."
Cathy G. - Cleaning Chemical Distributor, South Africa
"We do deliveries to different regions on a weekly basis, and the Wasrio team made sure our communication to customers was according to that."

The workflow Wasrio replaced
Cathy opens her tablet in the afternoon, sees all the orders placed and invoiced for the day, and sends a preparation instruction to her warehouse and factory to get the products ready for delivery the next day. That is the workflow Wasrio replaced.
Where Wasrio is not the right fit
We would rather tell you now. Wasrio is not the right fit in two cases: your customers will not use WhatsApp, or you do not have recurring customers. It is built for distributors whose customers reorder regularly on WhatsApp and who carry balances across accounts. Everything else, delivery schedules, catalogue size, pricing complexity, is configured during onboarding.
