Metropolitan goes for novel distribution strategy

Metropolitan Computers (Pvt) Ltd recently launched a novel distribution strategy with the appointment of key distributors to handle specific geographies across the country.

The distributors will, in turn, closely liaise with every IT reseller in their geographical areas and ensure a steady flow of Acer and Canon products to the market.

CellMart (Pvt) Ltd will oversee the Gampaha district while Jantop (Pvt) Ltd will supply the needs of the Kandy district.

Director, Metropolitan Computers, Sanjeev Ariarathnam said that this was indeed a revolution and the most effective method to ensure a swift and unbroken distribution chain. "Acer laptops, tablets and desktops are among the top three fast moving products in the local market, while Acer projectors come a close fourth. In the Canon range are inkjet printers, laser printers, scanners and cameras," Ariarathnam said.

"We're happy to have taken the lead and launch this distribution chain, offering the best products to the consumer in the shortest possible time. The response from the public has been favourable and we hope to appoint more distributors to the other districts soon," he added.
