TECHNOLOGY 29 Group Prospects
30 » Blue Label is one of the primary distribution channels for Cell C’s products and services. The acquisition provides a compelling value proposition to the Group, to Cell C and its customers through vertical integration that will afford both companies the opportunity to realise synergies in product distribution. Cell C now has a sustainable capital structure to deliver its strategic objectives.
» 3G Mobile is one of Africa’s largest distributors and financiers of mobile devices and handsets to major retailers and cellular network providers. It has distribution rights for all major tier 1 and tier 2 mobile devices and allied products from the manufacturers thereof. Through its wholly owned subsidiary Comm Equipment Company, it provides the financing of the mobile handset component of post- paid and hybrid contracts to Cell C, with the capability of extending such services to other networks and channels. These functions supplement Blue Label's strategic objectives to provide value added services to both Cell C and its own customer base. 3G Mobile provides the ideal platform to combine Blue Label's low cost and certified pre-owned mobile handset divisions into a consolidated group. The acquisition thereof is both earnings accretive and provides a solid foundation for distribution into the burgeoning low cost smartphone market.
» Blue Label Mexico is expected to provide a positive contribution to Group profitability, given its consistent growth in revenue generation at sustainable improved gross profit margins and compounding annuity revenue generated from starter packs.
» “Big Data” creates the opportunity to upsell and cross sell various bouquets of products and services that Blue Label has to offer through its distribution channels by intelligently understanding consumer behaviour.
» Value added services, including the provision of short term finance for products and services required by consumers, are initiatives that are currently under consideration.
