Innovation
Meet Don — Daron's AI operations copilot
Daron Namibia is the first ship chandler in Walvis Bay to deploy a dedicated AI operations copilot. Don handles RFQs, generates quotes, and keeps our team connected 24/7 — powered by Anthropic's Claude, integrated with our product catalog, and available on WhatsApp.
Built on enterprise-grade AI
An always-on AI colleague — not a chatbot.
Don is powered by Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.7, one of the most capable language models available. He runs on the OpenClaw agent platform and integrates directly with our product catalog, pricing engine, and client database inside Supabase.
When an RFQ lands — whether that's an email from a key account, an Excel spreadsheet from a vessel in port, or a voice note on WhatsApp — Don reads it, matches every line against our live catalog, applies the right client pricing tier, and drafts a ready-to-send quote inside minutes.
A Daron specialist reviews and approves every quote before it leaves our system. Don accelerates response time; he does not replace the trust, judgment, and accountability our clients rely on.
What Don does
RFQ to ready-to-send quote, in minutes
02
Matches against our full catalog
Provisions, bonded stores, cabin supplies, butchery, technical items — fuzzy matching across descriptions, live from Supabase.
03
Applies client-specific pricing
Tier-based pricing with live FX conversion (NAD → USD / EUR / ZAR). No guessing, no invented SKUs — only verified catalog data.
04
Flags uncertain matches
Rather than guess, Don surfaces ambiguous items so a human reviewer can confirm or correct before the quote goes out.
05
Generates Daron-branded quotes
Ready-to-send Excel output matching our existing client templates — direct client delivery once a human signs off.
06
Speaks the team's language
Recognizes 51 Daron Namibia team members by name and role, and client templates by email domain (MCTC, HMS Hamburg, D2S, Oceanic, Bourbon).
Human-in-the-loop, always
Fast doesn't mean unchecked
Never sends without approval
No quote leaves Daron's system without a specialist review and sign-off.
Flags uncertainty
Ambiguous matches are surfaced, not guessed at. The human makes the call.
Only uses verified data
No invented SKUs, no invented prices — only what's in our live catalog and pricing engine.
