In Part One of the article we narrated How idea shaped up, the journey behind taking the idea to a solution. The Part two of this article would speak about How we crafted the best product experience for our user, that they said — This is what I was looking for!. It also mentions about “onboarding of our first client” , the challenges and the journey :-).
Hylobiz is just a year old and if we look at the number of transactions and invoices from August 2019 we started with 70 transactions and by March 2020 we had processed ~12000 transactions in India of value worth 20 crores. Onboarding of SME’s has been growing with ~35 distributors opening the access to approx. 2500 SME’s at their next level, using Hylobiz. From a GTM perspective, Hylobiz chose to go for direct acquisition for the first few hundred distributors, each of them in turn provide access to +/- 200 sub-distributors/dealers (SMEs) at the next level. Hence the receivables digitisation with a top-down acquisition strategy helped Hylobiz to keep the cost of customer acquisition marginal in this challenging segment.
So, what has Hylobiz done to stack the odds so monumentally in the favor of growth? We’ll look at what we did early on to set the stage for success, including:
· Defining market space and identifying customer’s pain points
· Nailing the product experience by focusing on doing a few things exceptionally well
· A big NO to freemium model that has helped us in offering “Value-driven solution”
