Phoenix Distribution is currently the leading value-added software distributor across the African continent, covering software publishing, localisation and distribution across multiple territories in multiple languages. The business is segmented into two divisions, namely 'corporate licensing' and 'retail', and Phoenix Distribution dominates the consumer and SME security sectors through three key brands: Norton/Symantec, AVG and Kaspersky.

The corporate licensing division sells volume licensing into the enterprise and SME reseller environments, as well as covering architecture and implementation. The ESD division delivers download content into all channels, including B2B and B2C.

The retail division delivers physical product into the retail environment, covering all mainstream ICT and CES outlets, independents and online stores. This division also distributes mobile accessories, wireless networking products, headsets and specialist high-end video and audio cables. Tier One brands in this arena include Beats by Dre, Monster, Carbon Audio, Trendnet Wireless, and Odoyo.

Phoenix Distribution is growing at 65% per annum, with additional acceleration coming from development within the greater African marketplace, as well as the acquisition of significant high-end product lines within the enterprise arena.
