Not Made Here….. Organizations develop their own solutions, often outdated but jealousy held onto versus outsourcing. Clumsy, long & complicated development required for changes, expensive & don’t pool innovation. Slow uptake on new technologies, i.e. crowd sourcing, digital image recognition.

What true off-line capabilities does your mobile solution have ?

Accessing global suppliers only becomes feasible if they have the capability to service your business locally, across Africa, benefitting from global is only relevant when you can execute locally. Right Technology Partner

Complicated Solutions v Off The Shelf Selecting an off the shelf solution that meets 90% of your requirements. Customizing 10% of your solution makes best business sense. Quicker time to execution, lower costs. Cloud based SAAS solutions exist that today meet 80-90% of CPG companies requirements.

Data Rich – Insight Poor. Brands are bombarded with information, however if that data is not delivered in a timely manner, in a format that is easy to access, easy to understand & it does not become actionable. Reports a month late, in complicated formats with masses of information leave businesses making poor decisions which are often too late anyway. Driving timely delivery in user friendly dashboards enables organizations to develop insights required for informed business decisions.

 Integrate mobility into your RTM strategy.  Holistic approach addressing process, people & technology.  Cloud based SAAS solutions are the future.  Walk the mile – make it relevant & executable.  Understand the true off line capability – it’s a minimum requirement.  Right technology partner – global solution, locally implemented.  Off the shelf 90% of your requirements, develop the 10% gap.  System must provide insights that drive informed decisions & action.
