Telecommunications firm, Globacom, has unveiled a niche product, ‘SME In A Box‘, to boost small and medium enterprise businesses in Nigeria.
Globacom disclosed in a press release that the product is an all-in-one bundle to connect, grow businesses and enhance productivity, saying it had continued to “evolve and adapt to changing business requirements by expanding and investing in areas of common interest and bringing latest solutions to support small and medium businesses across the country”.
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 product’s affordability, said Glo, is to ensure small businesses benefit as it can be accessed for as low as N20,000 for a yearly package.
Globacom added that the product “is highly customizable and flexible to use because it avails 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”.
The company lamented that less than 5 per cent 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, hence the introduction of the Glo SME In A Box”.
With Glo SME In A Box, the company noted, “Customers can bring credibility and expand the reach of their businesses with the support 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”.
The company urged businesses to log on to the dedicated website, https//www.glosmartbiz.com, for more information or call 121 for prepaid lines and 200 for postpaid lines.
