Daisy Distribution launches unified comms push
2012-05-21 United Kingdom : telephony specialist Daisy Distribution is offering to buy out the customer bases of dealers as part of a push into unified comms. The distributor is targeting those with existing landline bases or those who seek to add new fixed-line and mobile ranges to their portfolios. The options on offer include base buy-outs, or a transition model to move a dealer's base to Daisy from its existing provider. Daisy plans to offer a commercial package depending on a dealer's individual profile but claimed most would continue to manage their customer base within a mobile revenue share model (source : Mobile Today United Kingdom).

Designed and approved by MasterCard, the cards can be credited with a maximum of €575 (£500), which partners can use to buy kits from Daisy Distribution, invest in their own businesses for promotions, or keep to spend on personal items, with it simply being disposed of once the credit has been spent.
