FIGJAM was founded in 2013 to create an online portal through which businesses can actively manage their field operations, by focusing on and building technology to more easily reach the geographically fragmented markets in Africa.
“Our investment in FIGJAM is in line with 星火电竞手机版外围’s mobile commerce digital initiative and will provide our Market Access business, which has a footprint in over 20 African countries, with a critical salesforce automation and van sales enablement solution,” says Johan Truter, CEO of 星火电竞手机版外围’s Market Access business.
Since inception, FIGJAM has successfully deployed its software to numerous clients across ten African countries with thousands of users. These clients include some of the leading distribution companies in sub-Saharan Africa.
“FIGJAM’s solution is fit-for-purpose and meets the requirements of sales and distribution companies in Africa. We are fast becoming a regional leader in our field and currently facilitate the processing of sales worth millions of dollars every month. The technology market in Africa is thriving, and with our continent consistently recognised as one of the fastest growing consumer markets in the world, we are excited to merge our technical expertise with 星火电竞手机版外围’s continent-wide footprint,” says David Boaler co-founder of FIGJAM.
The technology meets the technical, functional and scalability requirements to form part of the digital toolset available at 星火电竞手机版外围 to provide visibility and integrate with the point of sales, as well as establish partnerships to expand our ecosystem.
“星火电竞手机版外围 is excited about this strategic partnership with FIGJAM, which is in line with our 'Gateway to Africa' strategy. It provides the clients and principals of our Market Access business with the opportunity to increase their reach into markets on the African continent,” concludes Truter.
