Predictiv WhatsApp Interface brings your ERP to where your customers already are — WhatsApp. In Africa, WhatsApp is the dominant communication channel, with over 300 million users across the continent. Our integration enables customers to browse products, place orders, check availability, and make payments without leaving the app they use daily.

Built on the WhatsApp Business API, the interface provides automated responses for common enquiries, guided ordering flows, and seamless handoff to human agents when needed. Real-time integration with Predictiv means customers see actual stock availability, accurate pricing, and receive instant order confirmations.

The solution extends beyond WhatsApp to include USSD for feature phone users and integration with the Predictiv mobile app, creating a unified multi-channel customer experience. Payment integration supports mobile money platforms prevalent across Africa, removing friction from the purchase process.

Who This Is For

Retailers with high customer enquiry volumes Service businesses with booking requirements Distribution companies with B2B ordering Any business serving WhatsApp-native customers Organisations wanting to reduce call centre load

Why We're Building This

Customer expectations have shifted — they want to interact with businesses through channels they already use, not dedicated apps or websites. In Africa, that channel is overwhelmingly WhatsApp. Businesses that meet customers on WhatsApp see higher engagement, faster response times, and reduced customer service costs.

Predictiv WhatsApp Interface eliminates the build-versus-buy decision by providing pre-built integration between WhatsApp Business API and your Predictiv ERP. Orders placed via chat flow directly into your sales process, inventory is checked in real-time, and payments are processed through familiar mobile money platforms.

Early adopters report 40% reduction in call centre volume, improved customer satisfaction scores, and new revenue from customers who prefer chat-based ordering over traditional channels.
