e-Sys Claims 10% of the Australian Hard Drive Market

Announcement posted by e-Sys 06 Sep 2002

Ashish Kapahi, General Manager e-Sys announced today that the e-Sys group had captured approximately 10% of the Australian market in hard drive sales in only their first full quarter of operation.

Upon entering the Australian market in late April, e-Sys predicted that they would quickly acquire a large portion of the existing HDD market, a claim scoffed at by a number of other distributors. From the sales already reached by E-Sys, their forecasts have proven to be accurate and consistent with similar achievements in other markets.

Commented Ian McKinnon, National Sales Manager, In the last quarter, the e-Sys group distributed over 1.56 million Hard Disk drives giving them 10.4% of global HDD market share, the largest in the world. In Australia from May through July, eSys locally sold around 20,000 Western Digital hard drives, thus establishing eSys as a distribution force in Australia. This fits in extremely well with our preliminary expectations and mirrors similar successes overseas.

During the past 6 months e-Sys Group have been implementing Navision, a mid-range ERP solution across 21 countries at a cost of over USD $500,000. This package will assist the Group in streamlining their business processes and better tracking inventory, stock levels and sales.

e-Sys Australia sees their next challenge as building on their initial success through the introduction of new products such as CPUs, Memory, Motherboards, Modems and their videoconferencing solutions.

Unique in the Australian distribution marketplace with their centralised distribution model and aggressive price protection scheme, e-Sys offer unparalleled price guarantees against currency fluctuations and vendor price variation. eSyss powerful logistics system guarantees prompt delivery, further adding value in a competitive market.
