For schools, colleges and training centres · Nigeria
During admissions season the school WhatsApp never stops: fees, transport, the intake date, the uniform. One person answers it, parents wait days, and some enrol elsewhere.
EliteTeQ Inbox lets your admissions office, accounts and front desk answer parents and students from one shared inbox. Every applicant is tracked from first question to enrolment, and you can see which enquiries are still waiting. Staff in Lagos and Abuja or anywhere else answer from one +234 business number, with office hours on Lagos time (WAT).
No credit card required · Plans from $29/month

One admissions phone, hundreds of parents in January. Half the questions are the same.
EliteTeQ Inbox
Several staff answer the same school number from their own logins. Waiting chats rise to the top so nobody is missed.
Parents asked about fees, then went quiet. Nobody followed up before the term started.
EliteTeQ Inbox
Each applicant sits on an admissions pipeline: enquiry, visit, application, enrolled. The ones waiting for you are flagged.
Accounts and admissions both answered the same parent, with different fee amounts.
EliteTeQ Inbox
Each chat has one owner. Pass a fee question to accounts with an internal note the parent never sees.
Every enquiry is a customer deciding where to spend. Don’t let yours wait.
EliteTeQ Inbox is a customer conversation and CRM platform. WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram DMs and comments land in one workspace your whole team answers from.
Customers in Nigeria write in English, Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo, and your team replies in the same chat. Every enquiry below gets an owner, a stage and a follow-up:
Less switching between phones. More enquiries turned into customers.

EliteTeQ Inbox works for schools, colleges, training centres and tutors 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.
Commerce is concentrated in Lagos, the southeast trading cities and the northern market hubs, each with its own pricing culture. Instant transfer displaced cash faster than most markets, and agent networks fill the gap where branches do not reach. Power interruption is a daily operating assumption, not an incident.
Kano State · the commercial hub of northern Nigeria
Trade turns on market days and prayer times rather than a uniform nine-to-five, and the old city trading quarters set the pace for the whole market. Wholesale buyers arrive early and buy deep. Kano is northern Nigeria's trading centre, with a long-established merchant economy around textiles, leather, grain and general goods, and trade routes running north toward the Sahel. Booking requests from Kano reach whoever is on shift, with an away message when you are closed.
Oyo State · a major southwestern commercial and university city
Bodija and Dugbe carry the high-volume market trade while the university corridor runs on the academic calendar, so one city holds two unrelated demand curves. Many owners operate three or four small shops rather than one large one. Ibadan combines one of Nigeria's largest urban markets with a substantial student and academic population, which produces two quite different trading patterns in the same city: high-volume, low-margin market trade around Bodija and Dugbe, and term-driven demand around the university corridor. Booking requests from Ibadan reach whoever is on shift, with an away message when you are closed.
Rivers State · the centre of Nigeria's oil and gas industry
Demand follows contractor cycles and corporate accounts more than walk-in footfall, and the expatriate-facing venues trade on a different basket entirely. Heavy Delta rainfall knocks out power and connectivity for hours at a time, often in the same season every year. 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. Booking requests from Port Harcourt reach whoever is on shift, with an away message when you are closed.
Anambra State · one of West Africa's largest market and distribution centres
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. Trading starts early and volume is relentless. 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. Booking requests from Onitsha reach whoever is on shift, with an away message when you are closed.
