Buddy Platform Ltd (ASX:BUD) will look to Dicker Data Ltd (ASX:DDR) as its primary distribution channel for Buddy Ohm in Australia.
Buddy Ohm is a system for facility resource monitoring and verification that uses sensors to track temperature, humidity, electricity, gas, water, and steam consumption, and solar power generation.
This allows operators and tenants to monitor critical systems and drive down monthly resource spending.
Negotiations with Telstra end
Yesterday Buddy revealed it had ceased negotiations for Telstra Ltd (ASX:TLS) to become the primary Buddy Ohm reseller in Australia.
Instead, current distributor, Dicker Data will become the primary distribution channel for Buddy Ohm in Australia.
Global distribution growing
Globally, Buddy will distribute through Ingram Micro into the UK, Spain and Germany.
This milestone was a direct result of the investment made by both Buddy and Ingram Micro to exhibit together at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona back in late February 2018.
Furthermore, sales of Buddy Ohm in the UK by way of authorised reseller, Rizon IoT, have commenced.
