WhatsApp → QuickBooks bookkeeping bot
Shop staff type a sale in plain Somali, the way they'd text a colleague. An LLM step extracts the customer, items, quantities and sale type, asks for anything missing, and shows a summary. On "yes" the workflow creates the invoice in QuickBooks Online and reduces stock, then replies with the invoice number and what's left on the shelf.
Runs on a self-hosted WhatsApp gateway (WAHA) and n8n on a VPS, so there is no Meta Business account and no per-message fee. Designed so staff need no training: a phone and WhatsApp.
Built and tested against a real wholesaler's QuickBooks books in Nampula, Mozambique, with real invoices and payments. Amounts in the screenshot are blurred on purpose.
