What They Do
Voop is a consumer discovery platform that allows users to instantly access merchant storefronts from social media links without downloading individual business apps. Powered by Vritti AI's ERP, merchants can manage sales, inventory, purchasing, GST, and multi-outlet operations while automatically publishing live business information to consumers for ordering, booking, or requesting quotations.
Pain Points
Small businesses spend heavily on advertisements and aggregator commissions to acquire customers.
Merchants do not own customer relationships, leading to continuously rising acquisition costs.
Consumers struggle to discover quality local businesses through cluttered discovery platforms.
Businesses are forced to build separate mobile apps that customers rarely install.
Disconnected merchant systems create outdated inventories and inconsistent customer experiences.
Solution
Merchants manage their entire business using Vritti AI's integrated ERP.
Businesses share social media content containing Voop deep links.
Customers tap the link and instantly access the relevant ordering, booking, or quotation interface without downloading another app.
Live inventory, pricing, and availability are synchronized directly from the ERP.
The customer relationship remains with the merchant, reducing customer acquisition costs while creating a scalable ecosystem where merchant operations and consumer discovery reinforce each other.
