Eliminate voucher logistics, expand retailer base, simplify recharging.
Mobile operators spend 15% of their annual prepaid revenue to cover the cost of voucher distribution
Provisioning, printing, distributing and retailing of vouchers (scratch cards) is expensive and inefficient. Voucher fraud continues to grow, and with it the costs of investigating, resolving and absorbing cost of fraud.
Traditional voucher distribution prevents operators from responding quickly to market changes
Operators rely on distributors when reacting to market changes. One common problem creates an opportunity: retailers often complain of shortages of certain denominations and slow, unautomated distribution cannot respond to demand quickly. This means frustration for retailers, inconvenience for subscribers and lost or delayed revenue for mobile operators.
Operators are losing control over voucher distribution and being threatened by their own distributors
Distributors are already looking at electronic voucher distribution to reduce costs, increase margins and improve their visibility over sales. But mobile operators may not benefit from any of this and lose control over their own sales! Some distributors have already introduced their own branded vouchers competing directly with operators.
Opencode's E-Voucher Center gives distribution control to the operator, improves subscriber experience, and simplifies sales for retailers.
User Privacy in front of street dealers allows guaranteed subscriber adoption
Subscriber privacy is critical issue in all mobile markets. Main reason for low adoption of today's e-voucher services is the lack of user privacy front of retailers. With Opencode E-Voucher Center, users can choose to keep their identity (MSISDN) secret, while being recharged by street dealers or delivered with e-voucher.
