Use case

Vendor management

Vendors at Indian factories show up with paper invoices, bills, and PO numbers. Aagman recognises them, notifies the right purchase officer, and prints a vendor pass — without a receptionist in the loop.

The problem

Why this is broken today.

Vendor check-in is messy: paper bills, missed phone calls to the stores manager, lost passes, and vendors waiting at reception for 20 minutes.

How Aagman solves it

What changes at reception.

Aagman has a vendor mode that asks for GST/PAN, PO number, and material category. It pages the right host and prints a vendor pass.

The flow

From walk-in to logged exit.

  1. 1Vendor selects 'Vendor / supplier' on the kiosk.
  2. 2Aagman captures GST/PAN and PO number via OCR or keyboard.
  3. 3Vendor selects the material category and the host (purchase or stores).
  4. 4Aagman pings the host on WhatsApp with the vendor's photo and PO number.
  5. 5Aagman prints a vendor pass with a colour code matching the material category.
  6. 6Vendor proceeds to the assigned bay or stores; logs are timestamped.

Common questions

Can vendors pre-register before they arrive?

Yes. Purchase teams can send a vendor a one-time pre-registration QR. The vendor scans at the kiosk and skips form entry.

What if the host is unavailable?

Aagman escalates to a backup host (configurable) and notifies reception that the vendor is waiting.
