Shorthand Engine
How the Shorthand Alias Engine Matches Colloquial Words
How SlipDesk matches messy kirana chat text to exact catalog SKUs in 0.09 milliseconds.
- Each product in your catalog has 4–6 customized aliases (e.g. "Amul Taaza 500ml" matches: `amul 500`, `taaza 500`, `taaza milk`, `amul doodh`).
- Quantity prefixes and suffixes are automatically extracted (e.g. `20 amul 500`, `fortune 1l 15 pouches`, `tata namak 10`).
- To bulk-paste an entire WhatsApp chat, click the "Paste WhatsApp Text" drawer in `/orders/new` and paste the raw text. SlipDesk parses all items into drafts instantly.
- You can add custom regional aliases anytime in `/products`.
Vehicle Dispatch
