Most teams know how to get leads into a CRM. The real pain starts after the lead lands: slow replies, manual follow-ups, scattered docs, zero attribution, and operations trapped in email. InOne + AI fixes this by becoming your one hub — and we (AI Automated Solutions) add AI agents that actually do the work: WhatsApp chatbots, AI callers, and Invisible Employees™ that qualify, book, quote, collect, reconcile, and report.

Short version: one hub, one team, one outcome.
We consult → architect → build → operate → improve. No hype. Only what moves the needle.

Not what your business needs

You don’t need another tool, dashboard, or “top 100 AI companies” article.
You need measurable outcomes: more qualified leads, faster replies, lower costs, fewer handoffs, fewer people stuck on repetitive tasks — and a system that just runs.

Our principle

We start with your goals and bottlenecks, then design the shortest, safest path to impact.

Consult → Architect → Build → Operate → Improve.
POPIA-ready. Pragmatic. Outcome-first.

What we build (so you don’t have to)

• Invisible Employees™ — always-on AI agents that do what humans used to do: qualify, book, quote, chase, check, route, document, reconcile.

• Agentic automation — workflows that think and act: if X happens, pull data, decide, take action, escalate if needed.

• WhatsApp + Voice first — instant replies, verified templates, bookings, payments, rich media, voice deflection to chat.

• CRM that actually works — one pipeline, single source of truth, automated follow-ups, revenue attribution.

• Back-office automation — docs, e-sign, KYC, case handling, invoice → payment → reconciliation → reporting.

• Stack-agnostic — we integrate what you already use (InOne, HubSpot, Salesforce, GHL, Shopify, WordPress, Google, Meta, WATI, Clickatell, Twilio, Zapier/Make/n8n, ERPs, custom APIs).

Where we create value (end-to-end)

• Marketing: ad → WhatsApp in one tap, lead capture that qualifies itself, zero dead ends.

• Sales: instant Q&A, live calendars, quotes, deposits, reminders, no-show recovery.

• Delivery / Ops: automated job cards, tasks, SLAs, status messages, escalations.

• Support: guided troubleshooting, returns, claims, NPS and reviews — on autopilot.

• Admin & Finance: quotes → invoices → payments → reconciliations → reports.

• Compliance: POPIA-ready flows, principle of least data, SA-hosted where required.

Why now (and why us)

AI from 2019 ≠ 2025. The frontier moved from chatbots to agentic systems that plan, call APIs, act, and close loops.
We set trends, we don’t follow them — and our systems ship value in days, not quarters — then keep compounding.

You get:

• Time to first result: days

• Reply times: seconds

• Lead-to-close: +20–60% (typical)

• Ticket load: –30–70%

• Clear ROI with end-to-end attribution

WhatsApp: native vs providers (WATI, Twilio, Clickatell, Meta Cloud API)

Native WhatsApp is perfect for getting started and quick chats — but you’ll hit limits fast:

• No approved templates at scale

• No shared inbox with roles/SLAs

• Weak automation and brittle compliance

• No reliable audit trail

WhatsApp Business API via providers (WATI, Twilio, Clickatell, Meta Cloud API) unlocks:

• Template messaging (opt-in), multi-agent inbox, webhooks/APIs, payments, rich media, and automation at scale

Our stance: start where you are. If you’re on native, we’ll still ship value; when volume & compliance require it, we graduate you to API-grade messaging — seamlessly in InOne.

Your CRM isn’t the problem — the handoffs are

You might have HubSpot or Salesforce (or GHL, Zoho, Pipedrive, etc.). The issue isn’t the CRM; it’s the handoffs:

• Leads wait for humans to reply

• Docs arrive via email with no validation

• Sales forgets follow-ups

• Ops can’t see context

• Finance chases payments manually

What we do: connect WhatsApp + voice + web to your CRM so the pipeline moves itself:
capture → qualify → schedule → request docs → sign → invoice → reconcile → review.
Keep your CRM — we wire it for outcomes. Or run everything in InOne as the source of truth and sync to your CRM.

AI inside the CRM (not next to it)

Our Invisible Employees™ live inside InOne (and alongside your CRM), so they don’t just answer — they act.

WhatsApp Chatbots

• Greet, answer, qualify, collect intent/budget, request docs

• Book calendars, send quotes, take deposits, nudge no-shows

• Collect reviews, escalate to humans with full context

AI Callers

• Answer or place calls, verify details, schedule/cancel

• Summarize to CRM, trigger next step (task/quote/invoice)

Decisioning & workflows

• “If X then Y”: pull data (KYC, pricing, stock), decide, do Z (create quote/invoice, push to accounting, notify ops)

Retrieval & knowledge

• Secure knowledge base + guardrails (POPIA), human-in-the-loop where needed

Models we use and govern: ChatGPT / GPT-4/5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity — selected per task for accuracy, latency, cost, and safety.
Orchestration: Make, Zapier, n8n, function calling, custom APIs, secure RAG, role-based access.

What we replace (or connect) so you work from one place

• Web & forms → Conversational capture on web + WhatsApp with instant qualification, routing, booking

• Social → Ad clicks go straight into WhatsApp/chat or smart forms that auto-create deals & tasks

• Email & ticketing → Shared inboxes, auto-triage, SLAs, handover with context

• Docs & e-sign → Requests, validation, storage policy, signing flows inside the conversation

• Billing & payments → Quotes, invoices, deposits, EFT (Ozow), cards (PayFast/Peach/Yoco/Netcash), reconciliation

• Reporting → True attribution from ad → chat → pipeline → cash

If it has an API, webhook, inbox, file, or DB, InOne can talk to it. If it doesn’t, we build the bridge.

Social media agencies vs outcome systems

Posting and ads matter — but without downstream automation it’s noise.
InOne connects creative to cash:

• Ad → instant chat (WhatsApp/web)

• Bot qualifies and books

• Quote and deposit in the same flow

• Pipeline updates, tasks, reminders

• Attribution back to campaign/ad set/keyword

You can finally scale spend with confidence because every rand ties to stages and revenue.

Security, compliance, and data stewardship (POPIA)

• Least-data by default, clear retention, encryption in transit/at rest

• Consent capture and audit trails baked into flows

• SA hosting options where required

• Role-based access, redaction, model guardrails, human-in-the-loop

The InOne operating model (what actually changes)

Before: ad → form → “we’ll get back to you” → inbox ping-pong → manual CRM updates → lost context → late invoice → chasing payment.

After (InOne + AI):

1. Capture & qualify

   • Ad click → WhatsApp/chat. Bot captures intent, budget, location, timeline.

   • Duplicate check, score, auto-assign owner, set stage.

2. Book & quote

   • Live calendar in chat; pricing/discount rules applied.

   • Auto-quote with optional deposit link.

3. Docs & KYC

   • Request → capture → validate (TransUnion/DocFox/iiDENTIFii).

   • Store per policy; approvals & escalations.

4. Ops & delivery

   • Create job cards/tickets; assign teams; send status; track SLAs.

5. Billing & reconciliation

   • Invoice → payment (PayFast/Peach/Ozow/Yoco/Netcash) → auto-reconcile → update pipeline.

6. Support & reviews

   • Guided self-serve; human handover with context; CSAT/NPS; review requests.

Everything is visible in one timeline across sales, ops, and finance.

Industry mini-plays (examples you can run this month)

• Automotive & rentals: WhatsApp booking, driver’s licence capture, Carscan step, deposit, e-sign, collection reminders.

• Insurance & finance: pre-qualification, KYC, policy docs, premium collection, claims triage, AI caller for arrears recovery.

• Healthcare & imaging: patient intake, appointment booking, RADIFY/AI result routing, billing, reminders, follow-ups.

• Field services: WhatsApp quote → job card → tech route → proof-of-work → invoice → payment → review.

• E-commerce: WhatsApp checkout, stock/price rules, order status, returns, GA4/Meta revenue attribution.

FAQs (short + real)

Will this replace my team?
It removes repetitive work so your people sell and solve, not copy-paste.

Do we need to rip-and-replace?
No. We orchestrate what you have and add only what’s missing. Keep HubSpot/Salesforce if you like.

Is it secure and POPIA-compliant?
Yes. Minimal data by default, encryption end-to-end, SA hosting where required.

Is native WhatsApp enough?
Fine to start. For scale, roles/SLAs, compliance, and templates, we move you to WATI/Twilio/Clickatell/Meta Cloud API.

Which AI model is “best”?
Depends on task. We mix ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity with your data and guardrails.

How fast to value?
First wins in 7–21 days for most clients.
