The Challenge

Colombian businesses were selling on WhatsApp. The process was still too manual.

WL-187 already worked with businesses that depended on WhatsApp, social channels, and direct customer conversations. Retail and e-commerce clients wanted faster product discovery, better follow-up, and cleaner lead tracking. But most of that work still happened manually.

No branded automation platform to resell

The agency had client relationships and technical skills. What it needed was a white-label platform it could offer under its own brand.

Product conversations were slow

Customers asked about products on WhatsApp, but catalog browsing, availability checks, and follow-ups often depended on manual replies.

Client growth needed structure

Clients needed a better way to capture leads, manage conversations, and move prospects into a CRM without adding more manual work.

The commercial stakes

  • WhatsApp was already where customers wanted to buy.
  • The opportunity was helping businesses turn those conversations into organized, trackable revenue.

Why BotPenguin

Why they chose BotPenguin over building their own platform

WL-187 needed a platform it could sell quickly without taking on the cost of building and maintaining chatbot infrastructure. Building internally would have slowed the agency down. Clients already needed WhatsApp automation, catalog support, and CRM-connected workflows. BotPenguin gave them a faster path, and when a client needed something beyond the standard setup, the team delivered that too.

Deploy in days, not months

The platform went live in eight days, giving the agency a quick route to market.

Infrastructure fully managed

BotPenguin handled hosting, updates, platform maintenance, and scalability.

Custom when it needed to be

When a client needed more than a standard integration, BotPenguin's team built it, without the agency managing a single line of development.

Complete brand ownership

Clients experienced the service under the agency's own brand from start to finish.

Implementation Journey

Eight days to launch. Thirty-eight days to the first client.

The Solution

WhatsApp Catalog automation became the agency's core service hook

WL-187 built its white-label offer around a clear client need: helping Colombian businesses manage product-led conversations on WhatsApp. The platform gave clients a better way to show products, capture interest, and route leads into sales workflows.

Their brand, their service

The agency delivered AI automation under its own brand. Clients saw WL-187 as the provider, not BotPenguin.

WhatsApp Catalog automation

Retail and e-commerce clients could show products directly inside WhatsApp conversations.

Multi-channel engagement

WhatsApp, Instagram, and website chatbots helped clients manage conversations from different customer entry points.

Bulk messaging and marketing campaigns

Clients used automation to send updates, campaigns, and follow-ups without managing every message manually.

Bitrix CRM integration

Every chat, contact detail, and custom field lands in Bitrix24 automatically, and BotPenguin opens right inside Bitrix, so the team never has to leave their CRM to see what a customer said.

Centralized client management

The agency managed 35 client accounts from one platform without adding operational complexity.

Strategic Business Impact

WhatsApp became the agency's strongest entry point

Before BotPenguin, WL-187 offered IT and digital marketing services without a dedicated AI automation product.

After BotPenguin, the agency could lead with a practical use case that clients understood quickly: WhatsApp Catalog automation. That made the service easier to sell and easier to connect to revenue.

Today, WL-187 serves 35 clients with 28 active accounts. The 19x ROI shows how a focused use case can create strong economics even on the Little plan.

Our clients were already using WhatsApp every day. BotPenguin helped us turn that into a structured sales and automation channel, especially for businesses managing product catalogs and customer follow-up.
