Etisalat Nigeria, NetPlusDotCom create e-commercial storm

Etisalat Nigeria has partnered with growth stage tech company NetPlusDotCom to roll out a mobile Point of Sale (mPOS) service in the form of an inventory management STORM app.

Through the alliance, merchants can receive the app, a certified mobile PoS device and an Etisalat plan to run the app.

The application allows the merchant to track both e-commerce and in-store sales via the same channel.

In a joint statement, Etisalat and NetPlusDotCom said STORM app works seamlessly with the mPOS device and customers can make payments from the app itself.

"With the backend inventory management solution, users can manage inventory levels of the store as they are being purchased by the customers. It is integrated with a certified mobile POS device and offers adequate controls to prevent loopholes thus offering a low-cost solution that puts the user at the cutting edge of technology – it also provides an alternative solution to customers," they stated.

Adia Sowho, Director Digital Business at Etisalat, said, "Etisalat is excited to be working with NetPlusDotCom to offer a great solution that allows merchants trade with their customers anywhere online and offline using electronic tools."

Wole Faroun, Chief Executive Officer of NetPlusDotCom said: "The web, which is the traditional e-commerce channel, remains valid. But in a market like Nigeria, a lot more transactions are happening offline and in-store; STORM provides the perfect tool to enhance each customer's experience and it helps merchants to keep a good tab of their businesses in real time."
