You are not leaving WhatsApp. Neither are we.
The trade runs in group chats, and it is not moving into anyone's software. So ChronoDesk works inside the groups instead. What arrives there becomes stock, counterparties and matches in your account, and the answer goes back into the same thread.
Nine messages. Three of them are offers.
A group does not arrive sorted. Sales, questions, a thumbs up and good morning, in one column. ChronoDesk takes the offers out and leaves the rest where it is. Press the other tab and you can check what it left, and why.
Inferred fields are marked as inferred. A model read from a reference and a year read from 91 are guesses, and you should be told which figures are guesses before you act on them.
The same dealer, writing from two numbers.
Two of the offers you just read came from one man. He posts from a German number in one group and a Swiss number in another, under two names. ChronoDesk proposes the merge and shows its evidence. You decide, and nothing is joined behind your back.
Six trades filed under one number, three under the other. Two part-histories, and neither of them is the man you are actually dealing with.
You stop re-reading forty groups.
Post what you are looking for once, with a ceiling. Incoming group traffic is checked against it while you are doing something else, and the near misses are checked too, so you can see what was rejected and disagree with it.
Everything arrives in one list.
A dealer in a group, a buyer on your shop page and an offer on a marketplace listing all want the same thing, which is to do business with you. They land in one place, in the order they arrived, against the watch they are about.
Answer from here and the reply goes back into the same WhatsApp thread it came from. The watch it is about is already attached, so nobody has to go and look up which 16610 you were talking about.
What is read, and what leaves your account.
This is the first question every dealer asks, so here is the plain answer before you have to ask it.
- What you paid for it
- The lowest price you would take
- Your margin
- Your notes on the piece
- The rest of your stock
