All-in-one watch dealer software, from sourcing to sale
Source from your WhatsApp groups, keep stock structured, log every sale with true P&L, and report across 30 currencies — one system instead of five tools taped together.
TL;DR
Kigu is all-in-one software for professional watch dealers, scoped to five connected jobs: sourcing (linked-device WhatsApp ingestion with AI extraction and buy-request matching), stock (reference-level inventory), deal operations (purchase/sales document drafts, consignments and staff commissions), sale (per-piece P&L after fees and expenses) and reporting (multi-currency reports and exports). It is not a POS, webshop or repair-shop system, and it does not auto-post listings to marketplaces.
Search for watch dealer software and you find a dozen tools that each cover a slice of the job — an inventory app here, a fee spreadsheet there, a marketplace back office that only knows about its own listings. Meanwhile the actual trade runs through WhatsApp groups, CSV exports and a mental note of who owes whom. Kigu's bet is simple: a dealer needs one system that follows the watch from the moment it scrolls past in a group chat to the day its margin lands in a report.
What "all-in-one" means here — and what it doesn't
Kigu covers the dealer loop: sourcing (WhatsApp ingestion with AI extraction), stock (structured, reference-level inventory), deal operations (purchase and sales document drafts, consignments from agreement to settlement, and staff commissions), sale (transactions with fees and expenses) and reporting (P&L, stock value and exports in your home currency). The honest boundary: Kigu does not auto-post or cross-list to marketplaces, run a webshop or till, or track repairs. Its invoices and agreements are commercial records, not a substitute for jurisdiction-specific legal or tax advice. See our comparisons with other dealer tools for the trade-offs.
Sourcing: your WhatsApp groups, structured
The professional trade's deal flow lives in WhatsApp. Kigu uses a linked-device connection to your account, ingests the groups you choose, and runs AI extraction over those messages — brand, model, reference, price and currency become structured, searchable records, and incoming offers are matched against your open buy requests. Kigu is not affiliated with WhatsApp or Meta. This ships today; at least one competitor still lists WhatsApp sourcing as a coming-soon feature (as of July 2026 — verify with the vendor: WatchDealerInventory). If group trading is your main channel, the dedicated WhatsApp watch traders page goes deeper.
Stock: one clean, reference-level inventory
At its core, Kigu is [watch inventory software](/): every piece carries brand, model, reference, serial, condition, box-and-papers status and photos, structured the way dealers search. Onboarding is a CSV import — a preset that matches Chrono24's export format, plus a generic column mapper for any other sheet. One honest caveat: this is a one-time import, not a live marketplace sync. If Chrono24 is your main channel, the Chrono24 dealers page covers that workflow end to end.
Sale and reporting: margins after fees, not before
Every sale is logged with buy price, sell price, commissions, shipping and other expenses — in any of 30 currencies with stored exchange rates — so per-piece P&L reflects what actually hit your account. Reports roll it up by period and by piece, exportable for your accountant. Before you commit to a buy, the free watch margin calculator gives you a fee-aware estimate; Kigu records the actuals.
Dealer software is not shop POS or repair software
A quick disambiguation, because search results blur it: retail point-of-sale systems (tills, barcodes, storefront billing) and watch repair-shop software (job tickets, service workflows) solve a different business. Kigu is dealer software — built for buying and selling pieces at a margin across channels and borders, not for running a walk-in counter or a service bench. If you need POS or repair tracking, pair Kigu with a dedicated tool rather than forcing one system to do both jobs badly.

Frequently asked questions
Do watch dealers need a CRM?
Most independent dealers need a contact history more than a full CRM. Kigu keeps every buyer, seller and consignor as a contact with deal history attached to real inventory and transactions, and matches incoming WhatsApp offers against open buy requests. It is not a full-blown CRM — no sales pipelines, email sequences or marketing automation — and most dealers don't miss them. If you run outbound campaigns, pair Kigu with a dedicated CRM.
Does Kigu auto-post or sync my listings to marketplaces?
No. Kigu imports inventory by CSV (including a Chrono24-export preset) and structures WhatsApp offers, but it does not publish, sync or reprice listings on any marketplace. You list where you choose; Kigu is the back office behind those channels.
Is Kigu a POS or repair-shop system?
No. Kigu creates linked commercial invoice drafts for recorded purchases and sales, but it does not provide a shop till, barcode checkout or repair-ticket workflow. Retailers with a walk-in counter or service bench should pair it with dedicated POS or repair software.
What does Kigu cost?
There is a free plan at $0 forever — up to 25 active watches, basic transaction tracking, one team member and email support. Pro is $59/month, and Circle is $199/month, adding AI Watch Market price data, price alerts and scheduled exports (Circle requires manual account verification after subscribing). You can start free with no credit card.
What makes Kigu different from other dealer tools?
Linked-device WhatsApp ingestion with AI extraction and buy-request matching is shipped today, where at least one competitor lists WhatsApp sourcing as coming soon (as of July 2026 — verify with each vendor). Beyond that: honest scope. Kigu does the sourcing-to-reporting loop well and tells you plainly what it doesn't do. See the alternatives comparisons for details.
