MOROCCO: Forest Interactive, today announces a partnership with Orange, one of the world’s leading mobile operators, to accelerate the digital economy forward on an international stage by leveraging mobile technology.
This joint operation is in response to the increasing demand for digital vouchers in the Middle East and Africa region. Through this partnership, Orange Link, a division within Orange, will sell digital vouchers using Forest Interactive’s Digital Voucher Platform (DVP) to Orange affiliates group to streamline and deliver digital products directly to end users.
This also helps Orange’s affiliates capitalize on the demand in their respective markets and generate revenue gains leveraging the success of their own digital assets (MyOrange, Orange money, etc.).
Mobile operators will also have the option to choose which voucher they would like to sell on their sales digital platform.
“Orange’s objective is to enable our customers across Middle East and Africa to have easy access to the best international digital services”, said Frédéric Bléhaut, CEO of Orange Link.
“Forest Interactive’s DVP solution for mobile operators is not only a platform that addresses the gap in digital vouchers availability in the Middle East and Africa region, it also provides mobile operators with ready-made options that are fully customizable, increasing accessibility for all,” said Johary Mustapha, CEO of Forest Interactive.
“This is a real game-changer for the telco industry, and we need to act quickly to take advantage of this opportunity. We look forward to seeing the collaboration come to fruition and to working more closely with Orange in the future,” he added.
By leveraging the one-stop portal to cross-sell a variety of digital products, Orange users and subscribers can enjoy a wide offering of premium digital content services through a simplified and secured payment process.
Additionally, purchases are done with less verification steps needed when compared to voucher portals owned 3rd-party brands, making it more convenient process for users. This also ensures that the users’ personal credentials are secured when making those purchases.
