The managing director of Nile Breweries David Valencia is optimistic that embracing new technology will spur the development of local enterprises, especially the small and medium enterprises which are the backbone of the country’s economic development.
He made the remarks at an event where Nile Breweries Limited launched BEES: a business-to-business (B2B) application that will enable Ugandan retailers to browse products, place orders, access deals, arrange deliveries and tap into business insights all via one interface.
“Our purpose - to dream big to create a future with more cheers - drives us to be leaders in innovation in Uganda. BEES is part of our digital transformation and enables our stockists, resellers, and outlets across Uganda to grow through a convenient order generation platform. The app will help us communicate pricing and product availability in the market across the country,” said David Valencia, Managing Director at Nile Breweries LTD.
“The B2B app complements the traditional sales model by putting customers at its heart and leveraging technology to turn customer issues into growth opportunities. It will also provide 24-7 convenience and a transparent experience,” he added.
The app is created and owned by NBL’s parent company,AB InBev, and is already live in 17 markets.
