Considering the biting hardship in Nigeria, Telecommunications services company, Globacom, has introduced a new product designed to ease business hassles for small and medium enterprises in the country.
Named ‘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.
In a statement in Lagos, Globacom said the Glo SME In A Box comes with solutions for major communication and technology requirements of SMEs in the country. Apart from being bundled with voice and data bundles to enable the SMEs conduct business with ease, the product provides many benefits including professional website creation, customised Email setup and business tools (Social Media Integration, free social media advertising) as one bundle to customers. It added that this helps SMEs to avoid engaging multiple partners to meet their needs.
“The solution from Globacom is highly customisable 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,” the statement added.
It explained that, “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,” adding that the solutions to assist the SMEs should be customizable and easy to operate and be open to change. “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,” Globacom added.
It advised SMEs to call 121 for prepaid lines and 200 for postpaid lines or log to the dedicated website, https//www.glosmartbiz.com, for more information.
