AI for retail businesses in Jeddah.

For a Jeddah retailer or wholesaler, the AI that pays for itself first is a WhatsApp assistant that answers in Saudi dialect, checks stock, and takes the order, so nobody re-keys it. We build that on the same pattern we proved inside the Panda app. Fixed price after a short discovery.

Jeddah runs on trade. Goods move through the Islamic Port out to wholesalers and retailers across the Kingdom, and the customer-facing side rarely keeps up: the same availability and price questions all day on WhatsApp, orders chased across chats and spreadsheets, stock reconciled by hand. That repetition is where a retail assistant earns its keep, in the parts of the day that already eat hours.

We build for how Jeddah actually sells, in Saudi dialect on WhatsApp, switching between Arabic and English the way people here really write. The assistant answers from your live catalogue and stock, takes the order, and hands the awkward cases to a person with the context attached. It is the same shopping-assistant pattern we proved inside Panda’s app at national scale, fitted to a single business rather than ten million users.

What we build for retail & e-commerce here.

Conversational shopping

Customers write one message, in their own dialect, and the AI finds the product, builds the basket, and answers the question. In the app, on WhatsApp, wherever they already are.

Support that doesn’t queue

Order status, returns, store hours, product questions. The AI handles the routine ones in seconds and hands the rest to your team with full context.

Reports that write themselves

Sales, stock, and channel performance pulled from your systems and delivered written, every morning, before anyone asks.

10M+

app users. We built the conversational AI inside the app of Panda, one of Saudi Arabia’s largest grocery retailers. It speaks real Saudi dialect and hands off to a human when it should.

Questions

Can it handle Saudi dialect on WhatsApp?

Yes. We build chat systems that work in Saudi Arabic the way people actually write, mixing Arabic and English mid-sentence, on the channel your customers already use. We have shipped this for a large Saudi grocery retailer, so it is tested on real customers, not a demo.

We are a wholesaler, not a shop. Does this still fit?

Yes. The same assistant handles B2B order-taking, availability checks, and supplier follow-ups, not just retail storefront questions. We scope it to your actual order flow so it removes the re-keying between WhatsApp and your systems.

How much does it cost and how fast can it go live?

A focused first build lands between a few thousand and a few tens of thousands of dollars, scoped to a fixed price after a short discovery. A tightly scoped automation is usually working in a few weeks, delivered in stages so you see a result early.
