We’re Andrew and Jason—two small South African business owners who got tired of chasing leads and quotes manually. Andrew runs a guest lodge, and Jason builds websites. Different industries, same struggle: WhatsApp was clearly the best way to convert visitors into bookings… but actually making that happen was a nightmare.You’d think sending a quote via WhatsApp would be easy, right? But it wasn’t. There was no straightforward way to connect our websites to WhatsApp and automate the process. We weren’t just looking for another ping that said “Hi”—we needed full conversations, automated follow-ups, and smart replies that could do the talking when we couldn’t.

"I’m Jason, Lead web developer at uptocode.co.za and co-founder of WAFlowBot. I got tired of juggling endless WhatsApp messages, so we built a tool that does the heavy lifting for you. Now I spend less time typing and more time creating awesome websites."

The real lightbulb moment came when we realised most client replies were repetitive—“Hi,” “Is someone there?”, “Can I book?”—and we were wasting time replying manually. So we built a simple bot that responded instantly with a friendly menu. Boom—our workload dropped immediately. From there, we added follow-ups, quoting workflows, and smart chat widgets for our websites. It grew, piece by piece, to exactly what we needed as business owners who don’t have full-time sales teams.

Yes, there were tools out there. But they were either too expensive, too complicated, or just didn’t “get” how small South African businesses operate. So we built our own—and WAFlowBot was born.

This isn’t just another tech platform. It’s a South African solution built by 2 home grown South Africans, for South African businesses. We wanted something affordable, something that didn’t make you pay 70c every time you messaged a lead. That adds up fast—especially when you’re hustling solo or with a small team.

WAFlowBot is the tool we wish we had years ago. It’s what we still use every day to grow our own businesses, and now, it’s here to help you grow yours.

From one small business to another—let’s do this, together.

What we do?

At WAFlowBot, we’re here to make small business life easier. We know what it’s like to wear every hat—sales, marketing, admin, customer service—often all in the same day. That’s why we built a tool that helps you connect with your customers in the most natural way possible: WhatsApp.

WAFlowBot isn’t just software—it’s your always-on assistant. It sends quotes while you sleep, follows up with leads automatically, and replies to repetitive messages so you don’t have to. Instead of missing out on bookings or sales because you couldn’t get to your phone fast enough, WAFlowBot steps in with friendly, professional communication that feels personal—because it is.

We designed it specifically for small businesses like ours: no coding, no complex setup, and no hefty monthly fees. Just one clean, easy tool that helps you stay organised, respond faster, and grow without burning out.

Whether you’re running a guest lodge, a service business, or a small online shop, WAFlowBot helps you turn interest into income—without needing a full-time sales team. It’s about saving time, reducing stress, and giving your business the professional edge it deserves. We built it for ourselves. Now it’s here for you.
