For travel agents and tour operators · Zambia
A family asks for a holiday quote on WhatsApp. You send it, they say they will discuss it, and three weeks later they book with an agency that followed up.
EliteTeQ Inbox brings every trip enquiry from WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram into one shared inbox. Each traveller is assigned to a consultant and tracked from enquiry to quote to booking, and you see which ads bring travellers. Staff in Lusaka and Kitwe or anywhere else answer from one +260 business number, with office hours on Lusaka time (CAT).
No credit card required · Plans from $29/month

EliteTeQ Inbox works for travel agents, tour operators and safari companies in Zambia on your existing +260 WhatsApp Business number. Customers see your business name as they do today, and your team answers from Lusaka and Kitwe or anywhere else.
In Zambia, customers message to ask about prices and stock before travelling across town or from the Copperbelt. EliteTeQ Inbox keeps every one of those questions visible until someone has answered it.
Customers write in English, Bemba, Nyanja and other languages. Your team replies in the customer’s language; template messages are created in English.
Office hours are set day by day for each number. A common setup in Lusaka: 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.
The Copperbelt and Lusaka carry most formal trade, and mining pay dates concentrate demand into month-end far more sharply than in diversified economies. As a landlocked market, most goods arrive overland from the south, so shelf price follows freight cost.
Copperbelt Province · a Copperbelt mining town
A smaller Copperbelt town whose retail depends closely on nearby mining activity, with most businesses single-outlet and owner-run. The binding constraint is a clear daily total and correct receipting without administrative overhead. Luanshya is a smaller Copperbelt town whose retail trade depends closely on mining employment, making demand sensitive to activity at nearby operations. Booking requests from Luanshya reach whoever is on shift, with an away message when you are closed.
Eastern Province · an eastern trade town on the Malawian border
The Malawian border corridor brings cross-border shoppers and a second currency, while a large farming catchment sets a seasonal payment calendar. The binding constraint is credit tracked across the agricultural cycle alongside cross-border pricing. Chipata sits on the corridor to Malawi, which makes cross-border trade and shoppers a routine part of commerce and gives businesses regular exposure to more than one currency. Booking requests from Chipata reach whoever is on shift, with an away message when you are closed.
Lusaka Province · Zambia's capital and commercial centre
Central markets and the shopping centres along the main arterial roads serve very different baskets, and most goods arrive overland from the south. Lusaka holds most of Zambia's formal retail trade, from central markets to modern shopping centres along the main arterial roads. As a landlocked market, most goods arrive overland from the south, so landed cost and resupply timing affect margins directly. Booking requests from Lusaka reach whoever is on shift, with an away message when you are closed.
Copperbelt Province · a principal city of the Copperbelt mining region
Retail tracks copper mining employment, and month-end mine pay dates produce surges far sharper than an ordinary weekly pattern. Kitwe's retail demand is closely tied to copper mining employment and contractor activity, which makes it more sensitive to commodity cycles than Lusaka and produces strong month-end peaks around mine pay dates. Booking requests from Kitwe reach whoever is on shift, with an away message when you are closed.
