WhatsPortal sends instant availability alerts to prospective buyers on WhatsApp when their preferred model, colour, or variant is in stock — so your sales team converts interest before the customer goes elsewhere.

01
A customer visits your showroom, likes a specific variant but it's out of stock. They leave their contact and say they'll wait. Two weeks later, the car arrives. Your sales executive calls — but the customer bought from a competitor who messaged them first.
02
Managing a waitlist manually is error-prone. Sales executives maintain personal spreadsheets or memory. When a car arrives, some interested buyers get a call. Others are forgotten. Revenue walks out the door because of a process failure.
03
Popular models in specific colours or variants have long waiting periods. Buyers who are made to feel informed and prioritised are far more likely to stay committed. Silence breeds doubt and defection.
The solution
Capture buyer preferences — model, variant, colour, transmission — via WhatsApp at the point of enquiry. WhatsPortal maintains the waitlist automatically.
When stock is updated in your DMS or via webhook, WhatsPortal sends a personalised WhatsApp to every matched buyer — 'Your preferred [Model] in [Colour] is now available at [Dealership].'
The alert includes a call-to-action — 'Reply YES to confirm your booking' or a link to schedule a handover slot — converting alert to commitment in one step.
When a buyer confirms interest, the relevant salesperson receives a WhatsApp notification in your team inbox — with full buyer context — to follow up immediately.
How it works
Capture buyer preferences at enquiry
When a buyer expresses interest in a model that isn't available, WhatsPortal logs their preferences — model, variant, colour, expected budget, contact.
Availability triggers the alert
When the vehicle arrives in inventory — via DMS update, webhook, or manual trigger — WhatsPortal matches waitlisted buyers and sends personalised WhatsApp alerts.
Buyer confirms, booking is secured
The buyer responds to the WhatsApp alert. Your sales team receives the confirmation and closes the booking before the buyer has time to second-guess.
Sync dealer CRM
Test drive requests and service bookings are automatically logged in your dealership management system (CRM).

What our customers say
“We used to lose 2–3 bookings a month because follow-up was manual and inconsistent. WhatsPortal's availability alerts made sure every interested buyer heard from us first.”
