About The Customer
GOAT Interactive is a leading provider of online betting and gaming expertise and leadership to its partners. The company counts Premier Bet as one of their core businesses to grow their presence on the African continent. They also support promoting other online betting and gaming brands in Africa, including Guinea Games in Guinea and Mercury International in Sierra Leone. They believe their unique and deeply integrated partnerships with world-renowned football club brands will give the brands they partner with new meaning and association. This brings fans closer to the clubs, leagues, and sports they love. Goat Interactive is part of the Editec group.
The Challenge
GOAT Interactive, a leading provider of online betting and gaming expertise, was facing challenges in expanding its footprint in the rapidly growing African Betting and Gaming marketplace. The company's primary objective was to effectively communicate with its customers about upcoming sports events and betting opportunities. However, due to the limited penetration of smartphones in Africa, SMS was identified as the most optimal channel for customer communication. The company faced several obstacles such as lack of communication infrastructure, market immaturity compared to Europe and the U.S., costly network delays, and risk of lost messages or shifts in transmission/reception. Despite working with various solutions providers, including telecommunications companies, their geographical coverage remained limited. GOAT Interactive needed a high-quality service, a high delivery rate, and a unique partner to ease day-to-day operations.
The Solution
GOAT Interactive identified Infobip SMS as the ideal communication solution to engage customers and inform them about gaming and betting space developments. The company had specific criteria for a suitable SMS solution provider, including reliability and compatibility with different mobile networks. In 2019, GOAT Interactive began exploring the possibility of signing up for Infobip's 2-way SMS messaging and switching providers for OTP solutions. The 2-way messaging service would cover more than ten countries in Africa, allowing customers to subscribe, verify balances, and reset PINs. Thanks to Infobip's established and extensive global mobile network, GOAT Interactive could reach their potential and existing customer base through a holistic customer journey. The partnership with Infobip was extended in 2020, with the latter becoming the partner of choice for GOAT Interactive.

Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
