Weyland Tech (WEYL) Provides Shareholder Update on Business Model Evolution
HONG KONG, CHINA–(Marketwired – September 01, 2016) – Weyland Tech Inc. (OTCQB: WEYL) (“Weyland Tech” or the “Company”), a provider of mobile business applications provides a shareholder update on its evolving business model.
Given the nature of DIY mobile apps (“apps”), and the primary target market of Small-Medium-sized-Businesses (“SMB’s”), a typical go-to-market strategy would have direct sales force or resellers approach SMB’s directly to drive license sales.
Over the past eight months, the Company has evolved this model with two distinct market paths to drive recurring revenue sales:
A) Strategic Partnerships in countries/regions where said partners are responsible for targeting SMB’s either thru an installed base of customers OR groups of Direct Sellers with a sales force encompassing SMB’s as end customers.
B) Enterprise Solutions where large retailers (hypermart chains, mall owners, brand owners with company-owned and franchise stores) adopt a ‘Master App’ on a white-label basis, hosted at a 3rd party regional Hosting or Data Center facility.
With the above strategy, we believe that the Company has been able to maintain a lower capital expenditure base due to the ‘level-two’ customer support vs. ‘level-one’ customer support, smaller sales and marketing teams, and the need to provide hosting services.
In addition to the previously announced partnerships this year, the Company is currently in late stage discussions and negotiations with a number of strategic partners and enterprise-sized customers, including major regional and country telecommunications providers, Fortune 500 retailers and ‘affiliate’ groups.
Specific terms of the relationships and agreements will remain confidential for competitive reasons. However, agreements are expected to continue to support a transition from a license model to a multi-year model with subscriptions, m-commerce sharing and advertising revenues.
