# Stop losing big-ticket orders in your DMs. Track every quote to delivery — EliteTeQ Inbox for furniture shops, interior designers, kitchen and home-improvement stores in Nigeria

**A customer sends a photo of a sofa from your Instagram and asks for a quote in grey, 3-seater, delivered. The quote goes out, and nobody follows up before they find it cheaper.**

EliteTeQ Inbox brings product enquiries, quotes, custom orders and delivery questions from WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook into one shared inbox. Every buyer is tracked from quote to deposit to delivery, and your showroom and online team share the work. Staff in Lagos and Abuja or anywhere else answer from one +234 business number, with office hours on Lagos time (WAT).

- Prices and photos of pieces
- Custom-size and fabric quotes
- Deposits and delivery dates
- After-sales and repairs

## EliteTeQ Inbox in Nigeria

EliteTeQ Inbox works for furniture shops, interior designers, kitchen and home-improvement stores in Nigeria on your existing +234 WhatsApp Business number. Customers see your business name as they do today, and your team answers from Lagos and Abuja or anywhere else.

In Nigeria, a lot of buying starts as a WhatsApp or Instagram message: a price check, a “is this available?”, a photo of a product. When one phone is shared between staff, those enquiries get lost overnight. EliteTeQ Inbox puts them in one list that the whole team can see, from Lagos to Kano.

Customers write in English, Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo, often mixed in one chat. Your team answers 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 Lagos or Abuja: 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.

- **Numbers:** +234 (e.g. +234 803 000 0000)
- **Office hours:** Run on Lagos time (WAT)
- **Weekend:** Saturday and Sunday
- **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 Nigeria

Customers in Nigeria pay with instant bank transfer on the NIBSS rails, cards on Verve and Interswitch, USSD, and agent-network wallets including OPay, PalmPay and Moniepoint, so when a sale closes on WhatsApp the customer may confirm payment in the chat, and your team needs to see that message quickly.

### [Port Harcourt](https://eliteteqpos.com/port-harcourt/)

Rivers State · the centre of Nigeria's oil and gas industry

Port Harcourt's retail and hospitality trade is tied to the oil and gas economy and the contractor and expatriate spending that comes with it, which makes demand more cyclical than in Lagos or Ibadan and raises the share of card and corporate account payments. Businesses serving industry clients often need to issue proper invoices and track credit accounts rather than only ring up walk-in sales. Demand follows contractor cycles and corporate accounts more than walk-in footfall, and the expatriate-facing venues trade on a different basket entirely. Furniture & home enquiries from Port Harcourt land in one shared inbox, so a quote never waits on one person’s phone.

### [Onitsha](https://eliteteqpos.com/onitsha/)

Anambra State · one of West Africa's largest market and distribution centres

Onitsha is a distribution city first and a retail city second: goods arrive, are broken into smaller lots and move on across the southeast and beyond. That makes wholesale pricing tiers, fast repeat-customer lookup and accurate supplier and credit tracking the core requirements, rather than table service or loyalty features. The main market sets prices for a wide swathe of the southeast, and goods arrive in bulk before being broken down and moved on within days. Furniture & home enquiries from Onitsha land in one shared inbox, so a quote never waits on one person’s phone.

### [Aba](https://eliteteqpos.com/aba/)

Abia State · a manufacturing and garment-production centre

Aba is known for small-scale manufacturing, particularly garments, footwear and leather goods, much of it produced in clusters of workshops and sold on to traders. Power interruption is routine and workshops commonly run on generators. Production clusters and selling points sit side by side, so the same business often makes goods in the morning and sells them in the afternoon. Furniture & home enquiries from Aba land in one shared inbox, so a quote never waits on one person’s phone.

### [Benin City](https://eliteteqpos.com/benin-city/)

Edo State · the commercial and administrative centre of Edo State

Benin City serves as the trade and administrative hub for Edo State and a staging point on the routes between Lagos and the southeast, which gives it a steady mix of local retail, transit trade and government-linked services spending. Retail is concentrated around the ring road and the main market areas, with most operators running one or two outlets. Retail concentrates along the ring road and the main market areas, with steady transit trade from the Lagos–southeast route passing through. Furniture & home enquiries from Benin City land in one shared inbox, so a quote never waits on one person’s phone.
