Facebook & Instagram inbox
Every DM and every comment on your posts lands in the same inbox as your WhatsApp chats.
Customers ask the same question in three places: a WhatsApp message, an Instagram DM and a “price?” under a post. EliteTeQ Inbox brings them together, so one team answers all of them, and the comments get the same speed as the DMs. Customers in South Africa write in English, Afrikaans and isiZulu, and keyword auto-replies work in English, Afrikaans and isiZulu too.

Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp customers in South Africa land in the same pipeline, so a buyer who first commented on a post and later messaged on WhatsApp is still one lead.
South African customers expect a business to answer on WhatsApp the way they message friends. When enquiries come into a branch phone and a manager’s phone, nobody knows who already replied. One shared inbox gives every chat a clear owner.
Customers write in English, Afrikaans, isiZulu and other languages. Your team replies in the customer’s language inside the 24-hour window; template messages are created in English.
Office hours are set day by day for each number. A common setup in Johannesburg or Cape Town: 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 South Africa pay with cards, contactless, EFT, and popular local payment methods, so when a sale closes on WhatsApp the customer may confirm payment in the chat, and your team needs to see that message quickly.
KwaZulu-Natal Province · the busiest port in sub-Saharan Africa
Durban's economy is built on its port and the import and distribution trade that flows through it, which gives wholesale and business-to-business supply a larger share of local commerce than in Cape Town. Domestic holiday seasons produce sharp coastal hospitality peaks. The port drives import and distribution trade year-round while the beachfront fills during domestic holiday periods. Customers in Durban who find you on Instagram or Facebook land in the same list as WhatsApp.
Gauteng Province · South Africa's administrative capital
Pretoria's trade is anchored by government, diplomatic and university activity, giving it steadier weekday demand and a less seasonal pattern than the coastal cities. Card payment dominates and corporate account billing is more common here than in purely retail markets. Government, diplomatic and university activity give dependable weekday demand and a quieter weekend than the coastal cities, with more corporate account billing. Customers in Pretoria who find you on Instagram or Facebook land in the same list as WhatsApp.
Eastern Cape Province · a port city and centre of vehicle manufacturing
Gqeberha's commerce is tied to vehicle manufacturing and its port, which gives it a substantial wage-earning workforce with regular pay cycles and therefore more predictable retail demand than tourism-led cities. Businesses supplying industry need invoicing and credit accounts alongside walk-in sales. Card payment is standard and grid interruptions apply as nationally. Customers in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) who find you on Instagram or Facebook land in the same list as WhatsApp.
Free State Province · South Africa's judicial capital and a regional service centre
Bloemfontein serves as the commercial and service centre for a large farming province, so its trade mixes urban retail with agricultural supply and has a demand pattern influenced by the crop and livestock calendar. Judicial and university activity provide a steady weekday base. The city serves a large farming province, so agricultural supply sits beside urban retail and demand tracks the crop and livestock calendar. Customers in Bloemfontein who find you on Instagram or Facebook land in the same list as WhatsApp.
