To boost the growth of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria, total telecommunications operator, Globacom, has introduced a niche product, SME In A Box.
The product is an all-in-one bundle to connect, grow business, and enhance productivity and profitability and can be accessed for as low as N20,000 for a yearly package.
The Glo SME In A Box provides a set of bundled solutions for all the major communication and technology requirements of SMEs in the country. The product provides, among other benefits, professional website creation, customized Email setup, and business tools (Social Media Integration, free social media advertising) as one bundle to customers. With this, SMEs can avoid engaging multiple partners to meet their needs. It is also bundled with voice and data bundles to enable SMEs to conduct business with ease.
The solution from Globacom is highly customizable and flexible to use as it allows anyone with basic computer skills to establish an online business presence and set up business-support tools within 30 minutes. “It helps right from purchasing a domain to professional website creation, accounting payroll, CRM, and inventory management,” Globacom said in a statement.
According to the company, “less than 5 percent of SMEs currently use Information Communication Technology (ICT) for their business operations or have a visible online presence. Due to the low technology knowledge of most SME owners, they require a reliable partner to assist in introducing technology to their businesses. It added that the solutions to assist the SMEs should be customizable easy to operate and open to change.
With Glo SME In A Box, Globacom noted, “Customers can bring credibility and expand the reach of their business with the help of established business supporting tools and mediums. Glo SME In A Box is a complete bundle addressing the needs of growing and upcoming entrepreneurs through one single solution”.
SMEs can log on to the dedicated website, https//www.glosmartbiz.com, for more information or call 121 for prepaid lines and 200 for postpaid lines.
“Globacom continues to evolve and adapt to changing business requirements by expanding and investing in areas of common interest and bringing the latest solutions to support small and medium businesses across the country”, the statement concluded.
