What is AI automation for business?

AI automation for business is the use of AI and workflow systems to handle repetitive tasks such as lead response, follow-up, booking, and customer support. The goal is not novelty; it is faster response, fewer lost opportunities, and less manual work.

How can businesses automate WhatsApp enquiries?

Businesses can automate WhatsApp enquiries by connecting a WhatsApp Business number to a workflow that detects new messages, sends an approved first response, qualifies the lead, logs the interaction, and escalates to a human when needed. The key is an approved knowledge base and clear escalation rules, not generic auto-replies.

How does ELION help businesses?

ELION audits a business's public digital presence to find where leads, time, and revenue are being lost, then builds and operates the automation systems that fix those leaks. Typical outcomes are faster lead response, structured follow-up, booking automation, revenue recovery, and internal workflow automation.

Is the ELION business audit free?

Yes. ELION analyzes publicly available information about a business and delivers evidence-based findings at no cost. No credit card is required. The audit is a discovery step, not a sales promise.

Do businesses own the automation ELION builds?

Yes. The workflows and configuration are documented and belong to the business. ELION’s optional Care plan covers monitoring, maintenance, and minor tuning, but there is no artificial lock-in. Systems continue running without ELION if the business chooses.

How Much Does Business Automation Cost in Nigeria?

By ELION · Updated 28 October 2026

There is no single market price for business automation in Nigeria because the cost depends entirely on scope: how many workflows, how many channels (WhatsApp, email, a website form), and whether it connects to an existing CRM or calendar. ELION publishes fixed prices for three tiers: Starter at ₦100,000 for one workflow, Growth at ₦350,000 for a full lead-to-booking system, and Scale at ₦750,000 for several connected systems. Optional monthly support starts at ₦50,000/month.

There is no useful price without scope

The number of workflows, channels, integrations and testing conditions changes the work involved. A quote given before scope is a guess.

Starter, ₦100,000

We build one focused workflow. For example, an automated lead response that captures enquiries from WhatsApp or your website and sends an instant reply.

Growth, ₦350,000

We build a complete lead-to-booking system. Capture, qualify, respond instantly, follow up automatically, and book appointments. The full revenue loop.

Scale, ₦750,000

We build every system your business needs. Lead response, follow-up, booking, revenue recovery, operations, and custom workflows. All connected, all in one dashboard.

Running costs after launch

Monthly support is optional and covers monitoring, fixes and minor adjustments. Monthly Support starts at ₦50,000/month. Message-sending costs from WhatsApp or email providers are separate and billed at cost.

How to compare quotes

Ask any provider for a written scope, what is included, who owns the system afterwards, and what happens after launch. A lower number that leaves these blank usually costs more later.

Questions

What is the smallest engagement?
