MTN launches dynamic mobile location app linking businesses, customers


Johannesburg, 10 Jul 2014

Launched today, the MTN Business Directory Services app will put your business on the map or the modern equivalent, a mobile compass that directs you within a step of your destination.

Affordable and well-designed, the app consists of a mobile location-based directory making it simple for customers interested in your product or service offerings to find you, from any location on mobile phones and smart devices.

Kanagaratnam Lambotharan, MTN SA Chief Enterprise Business Officer, explains the app is designed for formal and informal businesses to connect with customers easily and quickly.

"Our new app uses location-based positioning linked to MTN's world-class network to provide a comprehensive and highly practical directory service, aimed at simplifying the task of finding product and service vendors located at any vicinity.

"Any concern, such as estate agencies, banks, retailers, home-based hair salons and even businesses on the move, like mobile Shisa Nyama outlets, once listed on the directory, can be located through this app at a touch of a button," Lambotharan says.

In addition to basic listing information, including physical address and contact information, companies can list topical information such as promotions and specials. More importantly, information can be easily changed and updated at any time, making this app an extremely dynamic and valuable service to businesses and customers.

No matter where in the world a mobile phone user is located at any specific time, with the free app downloaded, the mobile user can access all information about business and services, which one requires with a touch of a few buttons.

"We are delighted to introduce an innovative way for our informal and formal businesses to be discovered by customers and potential clients on mobile platforms," concludes Lambotharan.

To access the app, clients can download it at www.mtnds.co.za to mobile phone, and they can download it from BlackBerry World, the App Store on iTunes, Google Play and the Android App Store.
