Built for Secunda

AI automation Secunda — for the Sasol-shaped economy

It is the same chatbot for every business: it answers from your own pages, prices and documents, day and night, and emails each enquiry to your team. What changes is what your customers ask. This is what it does for Secunda’s main sectors.

Instrumentation, Mechanical & Valves

Technical suppliers. It answers vendor-number, ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001, B-BBEE and product-range questions from your information, and emails each RFQ to your team. You tell it to hand safety-critical questions to a person.

Scaffolding, Insulation & Rope-Access

Turnaround specialists. It answers induction-paperwork and availability questions from your information and emails each shutdown enquiry or site-visit request to you.

Industrial Electrical & E&I Contractors

From hazardous-area certification to motor repairs. It answers the routine technical questions from your information so your engineers keep the complex jobs.

Heavy Logistics & Yellow-Plant Hire

Side-tippers, low-beds, cranes and MEWPs. It answers rate and gate-pass questions after hours and emails each hire or availability request to your dispatcher.

Sound familiar?

Sasol-side pain points we automate away

If two or more of these sound like your week, a chatbot that answers at any hour is the cheapest fix to try first: from R299 a month, or the free trial: 7 days and 50 messages, no card.

Shutdown weeks burning admin time on the same few questions
After-hours gate-pass and induction questions with no one to answer
Quoting hours spent on RFQs that were never a fit
SHEQ documents re-sent to the same buyers every shutdown

FAQ

Secunda Questions

Straight answers to what Secunda businesses ask before they sign up.

Can the AI handle Sasol-grade RFQ intake with SHEQ awareness?
Give it your SHEQ documents, ISO certificates, vendor number, B-BBEE level and product range, and it answers buyers’ questions from them and emails each RFQ to your team. Safety-critical enquiries go to a person rather than getting an automatic answer.
Can it scale during a Sasol Synfuels turnaround / shutdown?
Yes. It answers every enquiry within seconds, however many arrive. Each plan includes a set number of messages a month, so pick the plan that covers shutdown month.
Does the bot speak Afrikaans the way Secunda business actually runs?
Yes, Afrikaans is one of the two languages it answers in, with English. Afrikaans dominates business conversation in Secunda, with English in technical contexts and isiZulu in retail and townships; isiZulu is best-effort, so test it on the free trial (7 days, 50 messages, no card).
Can it work with our procurement and dispatch systems?
Quote requests and job details are captured in the chat and emailed to your team, and on Intermediate and up they can also go to a Google Sheet or your own webhook. It does not connect to your procurement or dispatch system directly.
What we build in Secunda

AI that works
in Secunda.

What we build for Secunda businesses

For most Secunda businesses the first and cheapest fix is an AI website chatbot. The enquiry that arrives at 21:40 gets answered at 21:40 rather than on Monday, in English or Afrikaans, and best-effort in the other South African languages.

From there, an AI email assistant takes the shared inbox off your team, booking systems fills the calendar, and lead generation keeps the pipeline moving. Everything is built, deployed and supported remotely from our Vanderbijlpark base, so a business in Secunda goes live in the same 30 minutes as one down the road from us.

The rest of the range follows the same idea. an AI email assistant handles the shared inbox nobody in the office has time for, and email marketing keeps your existing customers hearing from you — opt-in only, with POPIA handled. On the admin side, quoting and invoicing turns a quote into a SARS-compliant invoice in one tap. If you need the site itself, we do website design too, and anything genuinely one-off is custom AI.

Worth reading before you decide. We have written up the parts of this that Secunda owners ask about most: the South African lead-response numbers, what an AI chatbot costs in South Africa, and what AI automation actually means for a South African business.

The next Secunda enquiry should not wait for the day shift.

Sign up and it goes live 30 minutes later, any time, answering Secunda customers from your own pages and emailing you every lead. No site visit, no contract. Or start the free trial: 7 days and 50 messages, no card.
