## Sound familiar?

> The business phone was in Ahmed’s pocket all weekend. Monday morning: a pile of unread chats, and two customers in Cairo who bought elsewhere.

Put the number in a shared inbox. Everyone signs in with their own login, on a computer or phone, and the chats still waiting rise to the top.

> Two of us answered the same customer with two different prices.

Each chat belongs to one teammate. Notes to each other go in internal comments, inside the chat, and the customer never sees them.

> We pay for ads every week, and I can’t tell which ones bring buyers.

Every lead from a Click-to-WhatsApp ad arrives with the ad’s name on it, and the report ranks your ads by leads and by sales.

> I don’t know who is close to buying and who went cold.

Every customer sits on a pipeline board. The ones waiting for you, fresh from an ad or about to decide are flagged hot.

2. **Connect your number** — We connect your +20 WhatsApp Business number with you over WhatsApp, on Cairo time. It can stay on the WhatsApp Business app on your phone.
3. **Bring in Facebook and Instagram** — Link your Facebook Page and Instagram account so DMs and comments land in the same inbox.
4. **Answer, assign, follow up** — Assign chats, move leads through your pipeline, and see in reports who answered and how fast.

## What is EliteTeQ Inbox?

EliteTeQ Inbox is a team inbox and CRM for businesses that sell over chat. It connects your WhatsApp Business number, Facebook Page and Instagram account to one shared list where several staff can reply, every customer becomes a lead in a pipeline, and the owner sees who answered, how fast, and which leads are close to buying in Egypt.

- One business number, many staff, each with their own login
- Every chat assigned to one person, with internal comments the customer never sees
- Leads move through stages from first message to paying customer
- Reports on reply speed, leads per day, busiest hours and ad sources

## What your team works with every day

Four screens do most of the work: the inbox, the pipeline, comments and the reports.

### The shared inbox

Every WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram chat in one list, newest first, with the channel, the assignee and how long the customer has waited.

- Assign or transfer a chat with a handover note
- Internal comments with @mentions
- A countdown shows when the 24-hour reply window closes
- Reply in Arabic and English, the way customers write

### The lead pipeline

Each customer is a card on a board, from new lead to paying client. Drag a card to move it; rename the stages to match how you sell.

- Stages named after your own sales steps
- Hot leads flagged automatically
- Filter by teammate, category or hot leads
- Insights on how leads move between stages

### Comments on Facebook and Instagram

Comments on your posts come in next to your chats, so a “price?” under a post gets answered as quickly as a DM.

- Reply publicly or privately from one box
- Automatic replies when a comment contains a keyword
- Threaded replies, like on Facebook

### Reports the owner can read

See the week at a glance: leads per day, how fast your team replies, the busiest hours, and which teammate closes the most.

- Compared with the previous period
- Leads from ads vs leads that came directly
- Team leaderboard and waiting list
- Print or save as PDF

## One phone for the business vs EliteTeQ Inbox

The difference is that every chat has an owner and nothing depends on one phone, whether your team is in Cairo, Alexandria or at home.

| One shared phone | EliteTeQ Inbox |
|---|---|
| Whoever holds the phone answers | Every teammate answers from their own login |
| Two people reply to the same customer | Each chat is assigned to one person |
| Chats get lost under newer messages | Waiting chats and hot leads are flagged |
| No idea who replied, or how fast | Reply speed and leads per teammate in reports |
| Facebook and Instagram on other devices | All channels in the same list |

## EliteTeQ Inbox in Egypt

EliteTeQ Inbox works for any business with a WhatsApp Business number in Egypt. Your number keeps its +20 format, and customers see your business name as they do today.

Egyptian customers message a business on WhatsApp or through a Facebook page before they visit or order. EliteTeQ Inbox brings both channels into one list for your team in Cairo or Alexandria.

Customers in Egypt write in Arabic, English or both. Your team replies in the customer’s language inside the 24-hour window; template messages can currently be created in English.

The working week in Egypt runs Sunday to Thursday, and office hours are set day by day, so Friday can be closed and Saturday short or closed. Customers who write on the weekend get your away message, at most once every 12 hours, and their chats wait at the top of the list for Sunday morning.

- **Numbers:** +20 (e.g. +20 100 000 0000)
- **Office hours:** Run on Cairo time
- **Weekend:** Friday and Saturday
- **Templates:** English
- **Price:** From $29 a month, in US dollars
- **Paying:** Card, charged in Kenyan shillings at the day’s rate

## Selling on WhatsApp in Egypt

Cairo, Giza and Alexandria hold most formal commerce, with traditional market trade and modern retail running side by side on different payment mixes. Mandatory e-invoicing and Arabic right-to-left receipting apply nationally.

### [Cairo](https://eliteteqpos.com/cairo/)

Cairo Governorate · Egypt's capital and largest commercial centre

Vast traditional market trade and a fast-growing modern retail and restaurant sector run on entirely different payment mixes in one city, and traffic makes transfers between branches impractical. Cairo combines vast traditional market trade with a fast-growing modern retail and restaurant sector, and the two operate on different payment mixes entirely. A team in Cairo answering one WhatsApp number never leaves these customers waiting.

### [Alexandria](https://eliteteqpos.com/alexandria/)

Alexandria Governorate · Egypt's principal port and second city

The port drives import distribution year-round while the corniche fills through a sharp domestic summer season. Alexandria's commerce is anchored by its port and import distribution trade, with a strong domestic summer tourism season along the corniche layered on top. Wholesale supply is a larger share of local trade than in Cairo. A team in Alexandria answering one WhatsApp number never leaves these customers waiting.

### [Giza](https://eliteteqpos.com/giza/)

Giza Governorate · a major urban centre and the site of the pyramids

Dense residential commerce and the country's most visited tourism site sit side by side, giving local cash shoppers and card-paying international visitors in the same business. The binding constraint is handling both cleanly on one sale under e-invoicing rules. Giza is simultaneously a dense residential and commercial area of greater Cairo and Egypt's most visited tourism site, which gives businesses here two very different customer bases: everyday local shoppers paying in cash, and international visitors paying by card and in foreign currency. A team in Giza answering one WhatsApp number never leaves these customers waiting.

## Questions businesses ask us

**Can I keep using WhatsApp on my phone?**

Yes. If your number is on the WhatsApp Business app, it can stay there: messages show on the phone and in the inbox, and replies typed on the phone appear in the inbox marked as sent from the app. Open the app at least every 14 days or Meta disconnects it.

**Can I use my personal WhatsApp number?**

No. Move it to the free WhatsApp Business app first. It keeps the same number and your chats.

**Will my old WhatsApp chats show up?**

When you connect a WhatsApp Business app number, Meta offers to share your recent chat history once, roughly the last 6 months. If you agree, those chats are added to the inbox. Older chats stay on your phone.

**How long does setup take?**

About 40 minutes the first time. Most businesses let us do it with them on WhatsApp, and paid setup packages are available if you want contacts, pipeline and templates done for you too.

**How much does it cost?**

Starter is $29 a month for 1 WhatsApp number and 3 people, Growth $59 for 2 numbers and 6 people, and Business $99 for 3 numbers and unlimited people. Paying yearly costs 10 months. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial.

**Do we pay WhatsApp for messages?**

Replies inside 24 hours of a customer’s message are free. Meta charges for template messages you start, at its rate for the customer’s country, billed to your Meta account and not part of the EliteTeQ price.

**Can we send a broadcast to everyone?**

Not yet. You send approved templates to people one by one, and only to customers who agreed to hear from you. Mass messages to people who didn’t ask get numbers reported and limited.

**Is there a WhatsApp CRM for businesses in Egypt?**

Yes. EliteTeQ Inbox is a WhatsApp team inbox and CRM that businesses in Egypt use with their own +20 WhatsApp Business number. Staff in Cairo, Alexandria or anywhere else answer from their own logins, every chat becomes a lead on a pipeline, and Facebook and Instagram messages land in the same list. Plans start at $29 a month with a 7-day free trial.

**Can our team reply to customers in Arabic and English?**

Yes. Replies inside WhatsApp’s 24-hour window can be in any language, so your team answers in Arabic and English the way customers write. Template messages, for customers who haven’t written in 24 hours, can currently be created in English.
