Voice-to-EDI in African languages

Most African SMEs do not have an ERP. They have WhatsApp, a phone, and a person who types. OHRES lets them create EDI documents with their voice - in their language - and turns it into structured X12 or EDIFACT.

Why this matters

The bottleneck to African trade digitisation is not integration - it is data entry. A trader in Kano, Kumasi or Nairobi can describe an order in Hausa, Twi or Swahili, and OHRES turns it into a standards-compliant EDI 850 or EDIFACT ORDERS.
