For salons, barbers, nail bars and spas · Côte d'Ivoire
A client asks for a Saturday slot while you are mid-braid. By the time you dry your hands and check the phone, she has booked at the salon down the road.
EliteTeQ Inbox lets your front desk and stylists answer booking requests, prices and Instagram comments from one shared inbox. Every client has an owner, nobody double-books from two phones, and quiet clients get a follow-up. Staff in Abidjan and Bouaké or anywhere else answer from one +225 business number, with office hours on Abidjan time (GMT).
No credit card required · Plans from $29/month

EliteTeQ Inbox works for salons, barbers, nail bars and spas in Côte d'Ivoire on your existing +225 WhatsApp Business number. Customers see your business name as they do today, and your team answers from Abidjan and Bouaké or anywhere else.
In Côte d’Ivoire, shops and services in Abidjan sell a great deal through WhatsApp conversations and Facebook pages. EliteTeQ Inbox brings both into one place for the team.
Customers in Côte d’Ivoire mostly write in French. Your team replies in French, and template messages for customers who haven’t written in 24 hours can be created in French too.
Office hours are set day by day for each number. A common setup in Abidjan: weekdays open, Saturday mornings open, Sunday closed. Anyone who writes while you are closed gets your away message, at most once every 12 hours, and the chat waits at the top of the list for the morning.
Abidjan is the commercial centre of francophone West Africa, with four competing mobile wallets in common use and districts that behave like separate markets. San-Pédro runs on the cocoa calendar.
Bas-Sassandra District · a major cocoa-exporting port
Everything moves with the cocoa calendar: buying season floods the town with cash and quiet season empties it. The port drives supply-side trade year-round. San-Pédro is built around its port and the cocoa and timber export trade, so local commerce is strongly seasonal and tracks the harvest and shipping calendar. Booking requests from San-Pédro reach whoever is on shift, with an away message when you are closed.
Savanes District · the largest city in northern Côte d'Ivoire
Agricultural trade and crafts feed a busy regional market. Korhogo is the commercial centre of northern Côte d'Ivoire, trading in agricultural produce such as cotton and cashew alongside crafts. Mobile money (Orange Money, MTN, Wave) is widely used, and taxes are administered by the Direction Générale des Impôts. Booking requests from Korhogo reach whoever is on shift, with an away message when you are closed.
Abidjan Autonomous District · Côte d'Ivoire's economic capital and principal port
Plateau trades on weekdays for offices, Adjamé and Treichville run dense low-margin market commerce, and Cocody and Marcory carry higher-basket retail and restaurants. Each has its own peak hour. Abidjan is the commercial centre of francophone West Africa, and its retail geography is genuinely segmented: the business district of Plateau, the dense trading quarters of Adjamé and Treichville, and the higher-basket restaurant and retail corridors of Cocody and Marcory each behave differently. Booking requests from Abidjan reach whoever is on shift, with an away message when you are closed.
