Good day, we need to develop a system for a network of stores in Poland.
We are setting a tentative budget, please indicate how much it will cost to develop such a system and scale it to the entire network of stores.
Currently, managers and the warehouse operate in the following format:
There are several groups in Viber:
Delivery, Orders and Prices, New Products.
New products include a photo of the product with the price for this product.
Each store manager likes the product if they need it in some quantity.
If they need it in a larger quantity, they use a different smiley reaction.
Based on this list of likes, an order is formed, and the person in the warehouse responsible for this segment of products prepares the goods for the store.
Chemicals, kitchen goods, toys, and so on.
That is, each responsible person goes to Viber, checks all posts and likes, and forms an order for the store from this, then goes through this list and collects the goods in the warehouse on a pallet for shipment to the store.
The goods are sent without barcodes and there is no inventory system.
That is, sometimes a seller in the store, if they do not know the price of a product, writes in Viber and asks for the price of the product.
It is necessary to create a bot in Telegram that can distinguish these products and provide them to the seller.
To write what the product is and its price.
Sometimes it happens that it is just a plate, white, round or square, and the system needs to be able to distinguish all this and provide the seller with the price.
It can even be that the system gives several approximate options from the list that will be in the warehouse that match the photo.
We thought that we could train some AI to work with this.
It is necessary to assign responsible managers for the stores and those responsible in the store for ordering products.
If the store address changes, the store is closed, or a new one is opened, an employee has left, or the manager has changed, all this also needs to be taken into account to have flexibility in the system for assigning responsibilities.
Also, during the development process, possible edits and additions of some new functionality may occur, or you may see the system differently, because at the moment a lot of human resources are being spent on what can be automated.
Thank you in advance for your proposals.
