Today they have 16 self-owned branches and 42 franchised retail stores countrywide with an employee strength of 190.Their success and growth as a company can be attributed to the strong partnerships they have forged across their franchise. These strong partnerships encompass their suppliers, who have shown faith in their business and have promoted their various brands through Cell City outlets. The strong partnerships also include the Mobile Network Operators like Orange, Mascom and BTC.
However, Cell City considers that their strongest partnership is with their customers. They always strive to serve their customers better as they believe that happy customers are the key to business success. Cell City celebrated its 20th year in March 2020.
Cell City’s Decision to Invest in iVend Retail Pays Off for Mobile Sales Franchise
Cell City as official wholesaler and retail specialist in the mobile device field in Botswana has been existence for 20 years this year. Up until October 2018 the company made use of an outdated ERP/ POS solution that worked for the few stores that we had at the time. Due to our exponential growth path in terms of rolling out of additional stores we needed a solution that would speed up our customer experience in the store but at the same time give us a level of comfort in knowing that stock was being accurately measured and controlled.
