HENNSOL Technologies
Membership Types: Ordinary Member
Business Categories: Professional services
Our service supports companies wanting to enter Australia to develop their brand and products in the Australasian market with a model that is different from the traditional manufacturer distributor model. Rather than pre-purchase equipment and supply it from an Australian base, HENNSOL develops and manages the commercial communication relationship on behalf of our clients with integrators and end customers, generating sales and handling front-end transactions.
Our aim is to ensure that our partners’ products and services are competitive through the distribution supply chain by adding only the services necessary to make sales. We invoice our partners for the services we provide and for the commission HENNSOL earns on selling our partners’ products.
We will not be providing in-country technical support and presale technical support. That means there’s no cost overhead for end customers to support these type of activities. Consequently, the end user has access to quality products with an international reputation that is cost-effective when compared to competing offerings. Thus allowing your offering of services and products into the market at a price that is competitive without the added margin that would typically be added to the list price by a distributor.
The key services and technology that HENNSOL is offering are:
* Private 4G LTE and Critical Communications Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT)
* Wireless Network Optimisation Services
