Franchise Commerce Platform

Every battery franchise
deserves a digital storefront

BatteryDrop gives battery brands like Willard and Sabat the software to run WhatsApp ordering, payments, stock visibility, and delivery tracking across their entire franchise network.

Battery brands have massive franchise networks. Zero digital infrastructure.

Willard and Sabat operate hundreds of franchise stores across South Africa. Customers call around looking for stock. Franchises juggle phone orders and walk-ins. Riders dispatch without tracking. Warranty certificates are paper slips that get lost in gloveboxes.

WhatsApp is already where the conversations happen. BatteryDrop turns those conversations into structured commerce.

One platform. Every franchise.

BatteryDrop handles the entire battery replacement flow, from vehicle lookup to warranty certificate.

Vehicle-to-Battery Matching

Customer enters their make, model, and year. BatteryDrop finds the compatible battery in stock at the nearest franchise.

💬

WhatsApp Ordering

The entire order flow happens on WhatsApp. No app downloads, no account creation. Just the channel customers already use.

💳

Payment Before Dispatch

Customers pay via EFT, card, or WhatsApp Pay before the rider leaves. No more cash collection problems on delivery.

📦

Real-Time Stock Visibility

Each franchise manages its own inventory. Customers see what's actually available at their nearest location, not a generic catalogue.

🚚

Rider Dispatch + Tracking

Assign riders, track delivery in real-time, and notify customers at every step. From dispatch to doorstep installation.

📄

Digital Warranty Certs

No more paper slips. Every battery sold gets a digital warranty certificate linked to the customer, vehicle, and purchase date.

How it works for brands

1

Brand signs up, adds franchise locations

Each franchise gets a branded storefront with their inventory, pricing, and delivery zones pre-configured.

2

Customers find and order on WhatsApp

Vehicle details in, battery match out. The customer completes checkout without leaving WhatsApp.

3

Franchise fulfills, rider delivers

The nearest franchise receives the order, assigns a rider, and the customer tracks delivery to their location.

4

Brand sees everything

Real-time dashboard across all franchise locations: orders, revenue, stock levels, delivery times, customer satisfaction.

Built in Cape Town

The battery industry hasn't changed in decades. That changes now.
