About Kanava AI
Distributors face a shrinking workforce and rising call volume. Kanava AI builds voice-based agents that act like junior sales reps, starting with routine inbound calls, stock and price checks, field note logging, and CRM updates using live ERP data. As the system learns from top reps and real workflows, it levels up: managing full sales calls, surfacing upsells, coaching teams, and reactivating dormant accounts. We help distributors scale sales output without adding headcount, by automating the work reps shouldn’t be doing in the first place.
