The leak
Scrap and waste enquiries don't respect office hours, and they rarely arrive complete. Sapa was built for exactly this shape of conversation.
Sellers message when their shift ends. An enquiry left unanswered overnight is a competitor's pickup at 8am.
Do you take PET? What's today's price for aluminium? Do you collect in Bekasi? Your team retypes the same answers all day instead of running routes.
"Ada besi tua" with no weight, no address and no access details can't be priced, routed or scheduled — so it sits in the inbox and cools.
Everywhere they reach you
Threads merge into a single customer timeline, so nobody has to repeat themselves when a conversation moves from WhatsApp to a phone call.
Where Indonesian scrap trade actually happens. Sapa replies on your WhatsApp Business number, including voice notes.
Voice notes · Photos of the load · Location pins
A lightweight widget for your site that answers price and coverage questions before a visitor bounces.
One script tag · Mobile-first · Bilingual by default
Corporate and municipal enquiries answered in the register they expect, with quotes and documents attached.
Tender enquiries · Quotes · Manifest follow-up
Inbound calls picked up on the first ring and outbound confirmation calls before a truck rolls.
Inbound reception · Pickup confirmations · Call summaries
Platform
Sapa isn't a general-purpose bot you have to teach from scratch. It ships understanding materials, grades, weights, routes and the words your customers actually use.
PET, HDPE, cardboard, aluminium, copper, e-waste, used cooking oil — plus the trade slang your customers type: rongsok, besi tua, kardus, gram.
Quote live buying prices per material and grade, with rounding rules, a validity window and a floor price you control. Never quote below your margin.
Material, estimated weight, condition, pickup address, truck access, preferred window and contact — captured in conversation, not a form.
Replies in Bahasa Indonesia, English, or the mix your customers actually write in — including regional phrasing and typo-heavy mobile keyboards.
Sapa proposes slots your trucks can actually serve, confirms the address with a location pin, and sends the reminder the day before.
When it's a tender, a complaint or a price negotiation, your agent gets the summary, the transcript and every captured field. No "please repeat".
Chases the paperwork your buyers need — weight tickets, photos of the load, manifest numbers — so month-end reconciliation isn't a scavenger hunt.
Enquiries answered, pickups booked, leads escalated, questions Sapa couldn't handle — one message every morning, in your language.
Why Sapa

Understands materials, grades and trade slang on day one

No integration project, no data science team, no six-week discovery phase.
Materials you buy, today's prices, service areas, truck types, opening hours and the questions you're tired of answering. About twenty minutes.
Point your WhatsApp Business number, drop one script tag on your site, forward your enquiries inbox, and route your phone line.
Enquiries get answered and qualified around the clock. Anything human lands with your team, with full context and a morning digest.
Live demo
This is the real receptionist model, answering as a mid-sized recycler in Bekasi. Write in Bahasa Indonesia, English, or a mix — it should handle all three.
e.g. Bisa jemput kardus 200 kg di Bekasi hari Kamis?
Demo only. Prices, routes and availability shown here are illustrative sample data, not a real quotation.
Social proof
Operators, aggregators and waste banks piloting Sapa across Java.
“The overnight messages used to sit until 8am. Now they're answered, priced and half of them already have a slot on the Thursday route before I open my laptop.”
“Our members write in a mix of Bahasa and local shorthand. It's the first system that didn't need me to translate for it.”
“What sold me wasn't the AI. It was that a lead arrives with weight, address and truck access already filled in.”

Questions
Still unsure? Join the waitlist and we'll walk your yard through it.
It answers natively in Bahasa Indonesia, including the informal, abbreviation-heavy way people actually type on a phone, and switches to English mid-conversation without missing context. It also handles the mixed register — an Indonesian sentence with English material names in it — which is how most scrap enquiries are written.
It says so, collects everything useful, and escalates. Your agent receives a summary, the full transcript and every captured field, so the first thing your customer hears from a human isn't "could you repeat that?". You set the rules for what always escalates — tenders, complaints, price negotiations above a threshold.
No. Sapa connects to your existing WhatsApp Business number. If you'd rather run a separate line for enquiries while your team keeps the old one, that works too — we'll set it up during onboarding.
That's the normal case, not the exception. You update your price list whenever the market moves — daily if you need to — and Sapa quotes from it immediately. You can set a floor price it will never quote below, and a validity window after which it offers to have a human confirm.
A guided form about your materials, prices, service areas and hours — roughly twenty minutes — then connecting your channels. Most yards are answering live enquiries the same day. There's no integration project and nothing to install on your machines.
Your conversations stay in your workspace and are encrypted in transit. We don't sell data or use your customer conversations to train models for anyone else, and you can request deletion of your data at any time.
Yes, any time, from your billing settings. Monthly plans stop at the end of the current period, and you can export your conversation history and captured leads on the way out.
Get started
