Meron · retail SMS assistant

Your store. On text.

An SMS stock assistant for Filipino & Asian grocery stores in Canterbury. Customers text, you reply less.

Kumusta po Christchurch · Canterbury, NZ
You scanned the card on the counter — kia ora. This page is the whole pitch. Two minutes, then a real person follows up.
How it works

Three things happen, all over text.

  1. 01
    A customer texts a question.
    "May sinigang mix po ba kayo?" or "Do you have Bear Brand 1kg?"
  2. 02
    The assistant checks your stock and replies in seconds.
    It uses your inventory, your prices, your tone — not a generic chatbot.
  3. 03
    You manage stock by texting simple commands.
    No app, no login. The same SMS thread works from any phone, anywhere on the shop floor.
What it does

Replies to customers — instantly.

Salamat! Tapos may sinigang mix din?
Sinigang sa sampaloc — out of stock right now. Restock Friday. I'll text you when it's in. Want me to add tamarind paste as a backup?

The agent reads your real stock, your prices, and your tone. Out-of-stock? It puts them on a waitlist and texts them the moment you restock.

Why it matters

Built around what a busy shop actually needs.

You answer the same questions every day — meron pa ba, what's the price, kelan dadating. This handles them while you're stocking shelves.

No app to install. No POS to replace. You'll need a spare Android phone on an active SIM plan — that's the only ongoing cost. If it's not earning its keep in 30 days, you switch it off. Walang contract.

Any phoneSMS only — no smartphone needed for your customers
Free to runNo fee, no contract. You bring a spare Android + active SIM plan. Text PAUSE to stop.
Your inventoryCSV upload, or we copy your spreadsheet for you.
Privacy firstNZ Privacy Act 2020. Customers can text STOP.
Next step

Free to run. One catch.

Meron has no subscription fee. What you provide: a spare old Android phone, an active NZ SIM plan (basic monthly text works), and Wi-Fi at the store. Got all three? Leave your number below.

Or text us directly

We'll only use your number to reply about the pilot. No marketing, no list, no resale. Reply STOP anytime.
