Phone app vs team WhatsApp workspace
The WhatsApp Business app is great for a solo operator. velro is for when sales and support need one official number — together.
What you need to know
The WhatsApp Business app keeps labels, quick replies, and a catalog on a single device. It is not designed for multiple agents, campaign analytics, visual chat flows, or CRM beside every thread. When volume grows, chats get forwarded, ownership blurs, and after-hours coverage depends on who has the phone.
How velro fits
velro runs on Meta’s WhatsApp Cloud API so your whole team shares one inbox with roles, assignment, approved templates, broadcasts, flows, AI, and CRM — on web and mobile — while customers still message the same business number.
Key points
- Business app: one device · velro: many agents, one number
- Templates, broadcasts, and reply analytics built for teams
- Chat flows and CRM next to the conversation
- Roles, working hours, and assignment instead of phone hand-offs
