The Challenge
Marcus Spurway was looking for a technology provider to support the company’s expansion into India. Although this iconic brand’s high-end products are world-renowned, it entered India’s direct selling market as a start-up. Their company needed to leverage technology to create the Marcus Spurway brand experience for Advisors and customers. Achieving this goal would require an exceptional technology partner that would guide them on the best practices for their total solution: including the back-office software, e-commerce, server locations, compliance with India direct selling guidelines, and how to best leverage APIs and local third-party vendors.
“India is a large complex market, with one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. The right technology partner was imperative to ensure our success in direct sales. We wanted to work with a very experienced company, highly regarded by industry experts, and someone we could work with and grow with for quite a long time. Most importantly, we needed a company and a team that we could trust completely. One set up for global clients, with offices in Asia that could work with us, and support us during business hours in India.”
The Solution
Marcus Spurway has been in business for nearly 200 years, and we wanted to launch a new direct selling business, with India being our first major market in Asia. As a result of ByDesign’s extensive global reach and success taking clients into new markets worldwide, we were excited to work with them. ByDesign provided a very cost-effective way to launch this new market. The speed by which we established a presence in India was game-changing for our overall success. Our Freedom software was launched quickly while also ensuring its accuracy, reliability, compliance, and the flexibility to expand to neighboring countries in the future.”</p>
Marcus Spurway chose the Freedom Enterprise solution with E-commerce, Sales Force Tools, Corporate Back Office, Facebook/Instagram Virtual Parties, Electronic Invites, Hostess Rewards, and Bookings Engine; as well as the client-configurable Promotions Engine, Gift Certificates, open APIs for enrollment and shopping, and 600+ key performance reports.</p>
During the implementation, Marcus Spurway worked directly with the ByDesign Singapore office. “Having a team in the Asia-Pacific region allowed us to manage the launch efficiently. We had regular calls and communication with the local ByDesign team, which enabled our launch to move forward easily with no delays due to time zone differences. I have found everyone on the ByDesign team to be responsive, efficient, and highly skilled at quickly addressing our questions or requests. It’s been a great experience.”
