There is a shift in regional channel dynamics.

Global vendors are progressively moving towards in country distributor partnership. The hub and spoke arrangement with a central hub managing multiple country operations is becoming increasingly less reliable. Each country has been recognised to have its own dynamics and its own localised channel partner relationship. With an overall slowdown in corporate IT buying, global vendors are keen to aggressively penetrate and develop country markets previously kept at second run. With such a perspective, in country distributors are better placed to recognise the role played by local channel partners and their requirements.

The Handbook of Distributors is an effort by Reseller Middle East to move towards profiling distributors in more detail and in multiple countries. RME sent out survey forms to more than 250 active vendors. The Handbook is a compilation of their responses. We hope you find this compilation useful and informative.

We look forward to receiving your feedback at rwme_edit@cpidubai.com.

There have been challenges in areas such as Egypt, Libya and Tunisia especially in the second quarter this year. The scenario is changing in Egypt while it is getting stable in Libya. Our distribution network supports Dell, Asus, Acer, Samsung, LG, Lenovo, MSI and AOC. Key features of partner programmes BDL has been involved in a diversity of activities and events targeting its key customers. The loyalty programmes were also extended for our customer base with a special ceremony held recently.

They were awarded 12 Mercedes, Toyota and cash during this ceremony held at Faisaliah Hotel in Saudi Arabia.

Remaining Ahead of competition BDL remains ahead of competitors by focusing completely on channel business. The company has always managed to maintain a balanced financial performance allowing them to enjoy extended financial facilities.

The company has maintained an internal credit unit enabling them to control and monitor credit facilities.

Stock is also maintained at all times to avoid losing any sales opportunities due to unavailability of material.

Customer is King Increasing profitability, customer focused and helping manage business effectively and professionally allows the company to increase business.

BDL will increase its market share in the region by increasing business with our current set of partners providing new opportunities contributing to our long term goals.

Company snapshot BDL, a Saudi based distributor has now spread its wings reinstating its position as one of the most powerful distributors in the MENA region. The company has increased its business in the last couple of years mainly due to its business and major presence in Saudi Arabia.

Product portfolio enhancements The new additions were LG Smartphone and Samsung products and currently we are analysing the market to expand our product portfolio in the field of communications.

Unatrac Future outlook “Unatrac focus will continue to focus on providing a solution targeting specific segments. The company succeeded in Egypt for many years and our focus for the future is to become one of the biggest distributors operating in the Middle East.”

Mr. Ismail Abd El-Aziz, Regional Territories Manager, Unatrac

Facts about Unatrac Unatrac is one of the biggest distributors in the region with a major market presence in Egypt. Dell and IBM are the major brands we deal with in the region.

The distributor is part of Egypt based Mantrac who has been in the IT distribution business for more than a decade. Unatrac is the Middle East operation head of the company.

Regions of importance Africa, Egypt, Uganda, Gulf (UAE, KSA, Kuwait) Key distribution and logistics structure The distribution structure is supported by a regional product management team supported with local product development and sales. Logistics are handled per territory and finance is managed accordingly.

In terms of challenges faced in the region, Egypt, KSA and UAE are the countries which stand out.

New vendor relationships developed in the last twelve months Unatrac has been successful in establishing successful relationship with IBM, Lenovo and Fujitsu Middle East Business Scenario Vendors are seeking stable and financiallypowerful distributors regardless of the brands and solutions currently in the product portfolio. The competition has become more aggressive, but it will come down to whoever remains stable, has the necessary financial power and keeps their market share.

For Unatrac, it is about supporting our channel partners and working in along with them in achieving profits and increasing business margins.

Mantrac decided to go regional by opening a branch in Jebel Ali in 2005 and since then we have added Dell, Microsoft, 3Com among many others. Egypt is the biggest part of the business, but we are still building our branches in the Gulf. The Egyptian branch is our HQ and it carries a lot of brands so we hope to build a company like that here in the Middle East.

Why work hard when you can work smart?

It’s time to ask a few questions.

Why have an IT network that hasn’t been updated in years, doesn’t maintain itself, needs more investment to work at its best, costs a lot more than you planned for and needs to be replaced often?

The answer – Juniper Switches and WLAN solutions. Easy to install, configure and manage, they are the first step to building a smart IT network. To know more, please contact your Juniper Networks Account Manager.
