The pain points of the industry
- Ten variants of everything. Diameters, angles, cable gauges, colors. In a spreadsheet they end up as nearly identical rows that someone mixes up.
- The missing size stalls the job. A 45° elbow is no use to an installer who needs a 90°: they go elsewhere, and the rest of the order goes with them.
- Restocking by eye. You order what the manager remembers, and they remember what ran out last week, not what will run out next week.
- Installers with their own prices. The electrician who buys every week doesn’t pay the same as the counter customer.
- Size inquiries on WhatsApp. “Do you have 50 pipe and a 50 elbow at 90?” Two questions, two trips to the shelf.
How Aty solves it
One code per size. Each variant is a product with its code, unit, stock per warehouse, minimum and price. No more “the 50 one, the one on the lower row”.
Replenishment based on actual consumption. On Pro, Aty calculates how much to order of each product based on what actually went out in the last 30 days, each supplier’s lead time and your safety stock. From the suggestion, grouped by supplier, you create the purchase order.
Prices for installers. One price list for installers, another for the counter, and each customer with their own. Volume promotions show what each unit costs when buying a certain quantity or more.
A catalog to send over WhatsApp. The public catalog shows each product’s page with its availability by warehouse, and the customer can order from you on WhatsApp right from there.
The assistant for quick questions. On Pro, you ask the Aty assistant in chat how much is left of something, and if you ask for a change it shows you what it will do and waits for your approval.
