Shared WhatsApp inbox
Your team answers customers from one business number, each from their own login, without stepping on each other’s replies.
WhatsApp on one phone works until two people need to answer at once, or the person holding it goes home. EliteTeQ Inbox moves your business number into a shared inbox that works on any computer or phone, and gives every chat a clear owner. Staff in Accra and Kumasi answer the same +233 number at the same time.

A shared WhatsApp inbox lets several staff answer customers from one WhatsApp Business number at the same time, each from their own login. EliteTeQ Inbox does this on the official WhatsApp Business Platform: chats are assigned to one teammate, internal comments stay inside the team, and the owner sees every conversation in Ghana.

The everyday problems of one business phone, one at a time.

Customers message the same number they always have; your team answers from the inbox.
Akosua messages your +233 business number. The chat appears in the inbox for everyone allowed to see that number.
Auto-assign gives new chats to the next teammate in turn, or anyone can take it. The chat shows whose it is.
The owner leaves an internal comment, “@Kwame offer free delivery”, that the customer never sees.
Waiting chats rise to the top, and a countdown shows how long you have before WhatsApp’s 24-hour reply window closes.
You can keep the app; the inbox adds the team, in Accra, Kumasi or anywhere else.

Customers keep messaging the same number, in its +233 format; only the way your team answers changes.
Ghanaian customers check prices and availability on WhatsApp before they come to Makola or the mall. EliteTeQ Inbox keeps those questions in one list your team shares, so none are left on read.
Customers write in English, Twi and other languages, often mixed. Your team replies the way the customer writes; template messages are created in English.
Office hours are set day by day for each number. A common setup in Accra or Kumasi: 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.
Customers in Ghana pay with mobile money (MoMo), cards, and bank transfers, so when a sale closes on WhatsApp the customer may confirm payment in the chat, and your team needs to see that message quickly.
Greater Accra Region · Ghana's main port and industrial town
Tema is a port and manufacturing town, so a large share of local trade is business-to-business: supplying firms, crews and workers rather than shoppers. Trade is dominated by the port, the industrial area and the workers around them, making business-to-business supply a bigger share than shopper retail. Shift patterns rather than office hours drive busy periods. When Tema trade peaks, auto-assign spreads new WhatsApp chats across whoever is on shift.
Central Region · a historic coastal town and education centre
Cape Coast's trade is driven by tourism to its historic coastal sites and by a substantial student population, which produces sharp seasonal and term-time swings rather than steady year-round demand. Hospitality and food businesses dominate, so table or room billing and fast service matter more than wholesale features. Visitor payment habits vary widely, so accepting cash, mobile money and card cleanly on one system is worth more than optimising any single rail. When Cape Coast trade peaks, auto-assign spreads new WhatsApp chats across whoever is on shift.
Bono Region · a regional administrative and agricultural trade centre
Sunyani is the administrative centre of the Bono Region and sits in one of Ghana's main cocoa and food-farming belts, so local retail demand rises and falls with crop payments rather than with a monthly salary cycle. Businesses commonly extend informal credit between harvests, which makes customer-account tracking more valuable than promotional tooling. The town serves cocoa and food-farming communities whose income arrives in lumps after buying seasons rather than monthly. When Sunyani trade peaks, auto-assign spreads new WhatsApp chats across whoever is on shift.
Eastern Region · the commercial centre of the Eastern Region
Koforidua serves as the trading and administrative centre for the Eastern Region, supplying a wide belt of farming towns. Trade centres on the main market and serves a belt of farming towns, with demand rising around crop payments. Most shops are single-outlet and owner-run. When Koforidua trade peaks, auto-assign spreads new WhatsApp chats across whoever is on shift.
