# Stop losing contractor orders in your quotes. Track every enquiry from price to delivery — EliteTeQ Inbox for contractors, builders and building-materials suppliers in Tanzania

**A contractor asks for 200 bags of cement and 50 lengths of steel, delivered to site. Your quote goes out, someone else replies faster with a better price, and the order is gone.**

EliteTeQ Inbox brings project enquiries, material quotes and contractor orders from WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram into one shared inbox. Each buyer has a salesperson, quotes are tracked to orders and delivery, and repeat contractors are easy to find. Staff in Dar es Salaam and Arusha or anywhere else answer from one +255 business number, with office hours on Dar es Salaam time (EAT).

- Material prices and stock
- Bulk quotes for sites
- Delivery to site
- Project and contractor enquiries

## Sound familiar? What construction teams in Tanzania tell us

> Contractors ask for bulk quotes and we never chase them.

Every quote sits on a pipeline. Waiting buyers are flagged hot, and filters show each salesperson’s list.

> Our yard, office and drivers all use different phones.

Everyone answers the business number from their own login, and every chat stays in one inbox.

> We can’t tell which of our Facebook ads bring contractors.

Ad leads arrive with the ad’s name, and reports rank ads by leads and clients won.

*Every enquiry is a customer deciding where to spend. Don’t let yours wait.*

## EliteTeQ Inbox in Tanzania

EliteTeQ Inbox works for contractors, builders and building-materials suppliers in Tanzania on your existing +255 WhatsApp Business number. Customers see your business name as they do today, and your team answers from Dar es Salaam and Arusha or anywhere else.

In Tanzania, customers in Dar es Salaam and Arusha ask about stock and prices on WhatsApp first. EliteTeQ Inbox lets several staff answer from one business number.

Customers in Tanzania mostly write in Swahili. Your team replies in Swahili, and template messages can be created in Swahili or English.

Office hours are set day by day for each number. A common setup in Dar es Salaam: 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:** +255 (e.g. +255 754 000 000)
- **Office hours:** Run on Dar es Salaam time (EAT)
- **Weekend:** Saturday and Sunday
- **Templates:** English or Swahili
- **Price:** From $29 a month, in US dollars

## Selling on WhatsApp in Tanzania

Dar es Salaam concentrates wholesale and retail while Arusha runs on tourism seasons and the lake region on fishing and mining. Electronic fiscal receipting applies nationally and mobile money is the default tender.

### [Arusha](https://eliteteqpos.com/arusha/)

Arusha Region · the gateway to northern safari tourism and a conference centre

Safari and conference traffic drives a visitor-led trade that is highly seasonal and pays by card and foreign currency far more than the national norm. Arusha's hospitality and retail trade is strongly visitor-driven and therefore seasonal, with international guests paying by card and in foreign currency far more often than elsewhere in Tanzania. Construction enquiries from Arusha land in one shared inbox, so a quote never waits on one person’s phone.

### [Mwanza](https://eliteteqpos.com/mwanza/)

Mwanza Region · a Lake Victoria port and regional commercial centre

Lake transport, fishing and regional mining shape commerce, and cross-lake trade toward Uganda and Kenya adds a cross-border layer. The binding constraint is weight-based perishable handling for fish and produce, alongside fiscal receipting. Mwanza is the commercial hub of the lake region, with trade shaped by fishing, gold mining in the surrounding area and lake transport toward Uganda and Kenya. Construction enquiries from Mwanza land in one shared inbox, so a quote never waits on one person’s phone.

### [Mbeya](https://eliteteqpos.com/mbeya/)

Mbeya Region · the main commercial centre of Tanzania's southern highlands

Agricultural trade and traffic on the corridor toward Zambia and Malawi keep wholesale busy. Mbeya sits on the main road and rail corridor toward Zambia and Malawi, so trucking and cross-border trade feed its markets alongside a strong agricultural trade. Construction enquiries from Mbeya land in one shared inbox, so a quote never waits on one person’s phone.
