Cloudburst's access to Retail Groups has an extensive advisory and transactional track record supporting domestic and international retailers — whether new entrants or well-established. Our multi-disciplinary retail industry specialists offer clients top-quality advice in virtually every area affecting the retail industry, including cross-border issues, commercial relationships, strategic growth and divestments, international brand management, and commercial and regulatory compliance matters.
Cloudburst has both B2B and B2C distribution. The group's founder originally pioneered mobile phone distribution within South and Eastern Africa - running both flagship (brand) stores as well as fulfilment to retail concentrating on actual sell-out to consumers, using the marketing mix but leveraging our key strength of field force. Currently our main interests are in these segments, including: consumer electronics and mobile, beverages, commodities, telecommunications hardware.
Our customer categories include: Network Operators, mass retail, chain retail and independent specialists. In late 2013, Cloudburst started its first outsourced brand within mobile devices. Whilst still in its infancy within the group it remains a growth segment we will monitor for future investments.
With a wealth of experience across the Middle East and Africa, the founder and management have been instrumental on assisting marketing entry to enterprises wishing to establish their own local presence. We provide guidance and assist with set-up to help you avoid the minefield.
Within the Southern African Development Community, Cloudburst has commodity supply entities of all feed grade materials including feed additives.
