A page admin, or ChatWun

Most shops in Myanmar answer messages with people: one page admin, then two, then a night shift. This page puts that cost next to ours and lets you use your own numbers.

A page admin is the person a Myanmar business pays to answer Facebook, Telegram and Viber messages. In Yangon that costs between 300,000 and 800,000 MMK a month per person for an eight-hour shift. ChatWun answers the same messages around the clock, in Burmese, from 50,000 MMK a month, and hands your staff only what it cannot answer.

The salary band is what page admins are paid in Yangon today, per person, per month.

Staff cost, per month900,000 MMK

It takes the repeated questions and the night shift. Keep one person for the sales that need one.

What it does not replace

The person who closes. A customer who has decided to buy and wants to negotiate, a bulk order, an angry customer who needs to hear a human voice: those go to your staff, and ChatWun makes sure they arrive with the whole conversation already read. Most owners keep one good person and stop hiring the second and third.

What owners actually do

  • Put the price list, delivery fees and payment methods in once. That covers most of what a page admin types all day.
  • Connect Telegram in two minutes and share the shop link on Facebook and Viber.
  • Keep one person on the inbox for the hand-offs, on their own hours.
  • Stop paying for the night and the weekend.

What everyone asks first

Does it really replace a person?

It replaces the part of the job that is typing the same answers all day and night. It does not replace the person who closes a sale or handles a complaint; it hands those over with the conversation attached.

Where does the salary band come from?

From what page admin jobs in Yangon are advertised at today, per person per month. Your own number may be different, which is why the calculator lets you change it.

What if my staff want to answer themselves?

They can, at any time, from the same inbox. The assistant steps back for that conversation and your allowance is not used.

Your customers never wait.

Set it up in about five minutes and ask it a question yourself. If it cannot answer, you have lost nothing.
