# All-in-One Watch Dealer Software for Professionals > One system for the whole trade: WhatsApp sourcing with AI extraction, structured inventory, fee-aware P&L and multi-currency reports for watch dealers. - Canonical page: [https://kigu.app/for/watch-dealer-software](https://kigu.app/for/watch-dealer-software) ## TL;DR Kigu is all-in-one software for professional watch dealers, scoped to four jobs: sourcing (linked-device WhatsApp ingestion with AI listing extraction and buy-request matching), stock (reference-level inventory with CSV import, including a Chrono24-export preset), sale (transactions with 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 full dealer loop: **sourcing** (WhatsApp ingestion with AI extraction), **stock** (structured, reference-level inventory), **sale** (transactions with fees and expenses) and **reporting** (P&L, stock value and exports in your home currency). That is also the honest boundary: Kigu does not auto-post or cross-list to marketplaces, run a webshop or POS, issue invoices, or track repairs. If a vendor promises all of that in one tool, read the fine print — and see our [comparisons with other dealer tools](https://kigu.app/alternatives) for how the trade-offs actually fall. ## 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](https://watchdealerinventory.com/)). If group trading is your main channel, the dedicated [WhatsApp watch traders](https://kigu.app/for/whatsapp-watch-traders) page goes deeper. ## Stock: one clean, reference-level inventory At its core, Kigu is [watch inventory software](https://kigu.app/): 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](https://kigu.app/for/chrono24-sellers) 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](https://kigu.app/tools/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. > **Comparing vendors?:** The market is crowded and every vendor's page reads the same. Our [alternatives pages](https://kigu.app/alternatives) compare Kigu against other dealer tools feature by feature with an honest as-of date, and our [2026 dealer software round-up](https://kigu.app/blog/best-watch-dealer-software) covers the wider field. ## Everything in the loop ### WhatsApp AI sourcing Connect your own groups; AI extracts brand, model, reference, price and currency into structured records. ### Buy-request matching Incoming offers surface against what your buyers are actually looking for. ### Reference-level inventory Brand, model, reference, serial, condition, papers and photos — with CSV import including a Chrono24 preset. ### Fee-aware P&L Buy, sell, commissions and expenses per transaction, so margins are real, not gross. ### 30-currency reports Stored exchange rates roll every deal into one home-currency view, exportable for your accountant. ### Teams in 9 languages Multi-user organizations with a 9-language interface for international teams. ## 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. There is no till, barcode scanning, invoicing or repair-ticket workflow. Kigu is built for the dealer loop — sourcing, stock, sale, reporting. Retailers with a shop counter or a 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 50 inventory items, 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](https://kigu.app/alternatives) for details.
