The industries that sell on WhatsApp.
The product is the same in every industry. What goes wrong without it is not, so each page here starts from the failure, not the feature list.

One record, four ways of reading it
WAOversight is used by sales teams that agree deals in the WhatsApp Business app on company phones: real estate enquiries, showroom and test-drive follow-ups, insurance renewals and claims updates, and education intake deadlines. Each industry page shows what that team stops seeing, which metrics matter most, and what a manager sees once the numbers are linked.
01 — WHICH OF THESE IS YOU
The same silence, four different costs.
Every cell here is taken from the page it links to: the failure that page opens with, the first number it puts on screen, and one of the changes it publishes.
| Industry | What goes wrong | The number it shows up as | What changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Real estate | A buyer messages four agencies. Three reply within the hour. | Median first response8m 12s | An alert while the enquiry is still unanswered, with the agent's name on it. |
| Automotive | Margin is given away one thread at a time. | Discount mentions above threshold4 | Flagged the moment it was offered, above the threshold you set. |
| Insurance | The dispute arrives twelve months after the conversation. | Promises and commitments made17 | The conversation is in the archive with dates, including anything deleted. |
| Education consultancies | A deadline passes and nobody knew the file had stopped. | Never answered at all3 | Never-answered enquiries are a named list, and it is usually short. |
A dash is not a gap in the table. Insurance opens on a metric the demonstration dataset does not supply a figure for, so that row carries the definition and no number. Every other figure here is one you can check against the metrics guide.
02 — BY INDUSTRY
The four we know best.
Each card shows the three numbers its page opens on, so you can tell them apart before you click.

Every figure on these four cards comes from one demonstration dataset, Hudson Cotton Co. of Austin, which is why the same numbers appear in four different orders. The industry difference is which of them a manager in that industry reads first.
03 — WHAT DOES NOT CHANGE
Four pages, one product underneath.
The failure is specific to your industry. The record that catches it is not.
One archive, not four products
Nothing about the capture changes by industry. The same company-owned numbers are linked, every message on them is written once into a record that cannot be edited afterwards, and every manager who reads it leaves a row saying so.
The vocabulary changes, the measurement does not
An enquiry, a test drive, a renewal and an application are the same shape to an archive: somebody wrote, and somebody either answered or did not. Every figure on all four pages is defined in the metrics guide.
One worked example, labelled as one
Every number across these pages comes from Hudson Cotton Co., an apparel brand in Austin we use as a demonstration dataset. We do not invent an agency per industry to make a page look busier than it is.
Not your industry? The archive works the same anywhere deals are agreed inside WhatsApp threads. Every number on these pages is defined in the metrics guide, and you can book a demo on your own numbers to see what it holds for yours.

Fifteen minutes, your own numbers, no slides. If you don't see something that surprises you, we'll say so.
