| 12th May 2004 - Destiny Wireless plc is now the world
leader in the delivery of Digital Pen & Paper (DP&P)
technology using Anoto® functionality to the business
to business market. Destiny has signed the largest
order for DP&P solutions to date, in the world, with
a global leader in face-to-face marketing The Cobra
Group. The order value in this ground breaking contract
is worth over £2m and is for a minimum of 5000 Digital
Pens.
Currently face-to-face selling processes involve vast
amounts of paperwork, which need to be delivered to
back office systems through a fax or scanner (often
having to be scanned in many different locations) to
be processed. Destinys DP&P solution
offers the opportunity to hugely reduce lead times from
the capture of important sales data and customer orders,
to the processing and translation of hand written forms
to data files.
This real time solution, using Anoto® functionality,
allows marketing data and sales orders to be presented
much quicker to Cobras clients, which in turn
allows their client to react quickly to fulfil their
customer requirements.
Destiny carried out a pilot of the scheme
and we found that DP&P technology provided massive
savings in time and costs and increased sales by 10-15%.
The Digital Pen gave the Sales Team a boost, making
the team feel more confident in their role using a new
technology. Minimal training was required to use the
Digital Pens and the team were able to use the device
as a talking point in the sales process.
We are very excited about this deal as we can see the
impact this will have on our own business and that of
our clients, (Paul Sanderson Chief Operating
Officer, The Cobra Group).
Destiny has agreed to work exclusively with Cobra
to market and sell Destinys Digital Pen
and Paper technology and services in the business arena
of face-to-face marketing and direct sales on a global
basis!
Through the deal with Cobra, Destinys
position as the world leader in the delivery of Digital
Pen and Paper to the business world is enhanced. The
technology is set to become as big as the mobile phone
phenomena, as the utilisation of Anoto® functionality
is so simple and the cost and time benefits of DP&P
are enormous. Destiny are excited to team up with
Cobra and together we will continue to innovate in order
to lead the market in this exciting business arena,
(Edward Belgeonne Chief Executive Officer, Destiny
Wireless plc).
