Customer Spotlight
Challenges
Starting 2015, MTN SA had begun experiencing a substantial drop in their subscribers – from 31 million in 2015 to 29 million in 2019.
- Their retailers were limited in their product offerings and only provided prepaid vouchers to subscribers which curbed their income substantially.
- It was crucial for them to improve dealer management and nurture loyalty to retain existing resellers while acquiring new ones as well.
- They were also looking to increase visibility and control of activities of all the agents in the distribution network and obtain a faster time-to-market by meeting dynamic demand.
Solution
Our dealer management solution helped MTN SA maintain indefinite reseller hierarchies and gain increased control over their distribution network with real-time reporting. By integrating with their Mobile Money ecosystem, we helped their retailers purchase stock from their mobile money accounts and by automating their banking processes, we enabled a faster revenue turnover with instant gratification for resellers. Our smart campaigns and commissions module further enabled MTN SA to sell more products through their retail channels with targeted sales campaigns and customized bundles for better customer value management while offering custom dealer incentives to promote more sales.
Results
Within 6 months of deploying the RVM Suite, MTN SA saw an impressive:
