From your car to your national HQ

Run your business from anywhere

Not long ago, I got a call from someone who had just left a corporate job and was ready to go solo. Let’s call her Tumi.

She had an idea, a logo, and a plan scribbled on a napkin, but no office, no systems, no IT guy, no budget for a full setup. What she did have was a phone signal, a laptop, and a car parked outside a coffee shop.

Ten minutes later, she was up and running.

That’s what we’re seeing more and more of — people starting businesses from unexpected places. A camper van. A spare room. The back of a bakkie on site. And it’s not just start-ups. We work with established companies managing multi-site national operations who also want the flexibility to run their business from anywhere, with the same ease and speed.

The whole business toolkit, from anywhere

At Wanatel, we’ve built a full tech ecosystem that lets you set up and run a business from anywhere, no cables, no servers, no drama.

We don’t mean just making calls from your mobile. We’re talking about having your own business number, a full cloud-based phone system, plus integrated tools for quoting, invoicing, tasks, CRM, and reporting — all in one place.

Everything just works together.

The setup doesn’t need to be complicated

When we designed eCIRRUS (our ERP and CRM platform), the goal wasn’t to create another software suite. The goal was to give businesses — whether you’re a one-person start-up or a multi-site enterprise — what they actually need: the basics, done right.

• A proper business number you don’t have to carry two phones for
• The ability to quote, bill, and follow up, even while on the move
• A clean view of what’s going on in your business at any time
• A system that can grow with you when things take off

All of it is cloud-based and available on mobile. No complicated install, no consultants needed.

Real business, real quick

It’s easy to underestimate how much you can do with the right tools. We’ve had people:

• Take their first client call from a campsite
• Issue their first invoice while waiting at a school pickup
• Launch a side hustle from the beach
• Manage staff and coordinate operations across more than 50 sites without ever stepping into a central office

It’s not about glamorising the hustle. It’s just about having the flexibility to make it work, wherever you are.

 One provider. One ecosystem.

At Wanatel, we’ve stitched together all the pieces (comms, CRM, ERP, connectivity) into one ecosystem. So instead of trying to duct tape different platforms together, you just log in and get going.

It’s not flashy. It’s just practical.

And it means businesses of every size can get up and running without needing to be tech experts, or wait until they “have everything in place.”

If this sounds like something you’ve been meaning to do, maybe it’s time.

You don’t need a corner office to start a company. Sometimes, all you need is signal, a solid idea, and ten minutes.
