Nigeria local economy, payment, network, power, transportation and other infrastructure are relatively backward, although in all aspects of slow growth, but the locals just to be on the high product still prohibitive.
Other African countries have the same problem.
Similarly China, some low-income people want to buy, but prices often dozens, millions, the average family is difficult to lump sum.
Many vendors want to open the African market, but unfortunately also trapped in the above status quo and often inaccessible.
In front of several articles mentioned PAYGo program (also written PAYG, in fact, are "Pay As You Go" shorthand), many readers may have doubts, here briefly.
PAYGo program can be popular understanding of staging, hire models for domestic use, such as shared bicycles, and other mortgage buyers.
For high product, users use a lower down payment, deposit first obtain the product, the balance payable in installments, rent within the cycle, then activate continue to be used.
The prevailing concern: While manufacturers can quickly sell their products, but need to take to recover the balance of the pressure, the user does not pay, not also how to do?
In Africa, especially Nigeria, the name of a variety of fraud, poor credit, put it plainly, the whole environment are filled with the credit crisis, companies have the funds difficult to have the courage and the application PAYGo program in this environment.
There are many manufacturers in the implementation process, suffered very serious theft, such as: paving lights, may spread the 200 meters, 100 meters have been stolen or the battery is discharged to go, there is no way to continue to do so.
Since our PAYGo program secret, here too inconvenient to introduce, if there is public concern like to work with numbers can add my micro letter small talk :)
The industry generally solutions:
- Tamper: to increase the difficulty of dismantling, even demolished, the program still does not take self-destruction;
- Anti-crack: a machine a code share or batch activation code crack the problem does not exist;
- Activation Policy: users buy the activation code to unlock, lock maturity;
- activation: the M2M, the SIM, infrared remote control, and so on;
-软件系统：系统控制支付激活、激活码、分期定价策略、断供、售后、报表、CRM（销售）、WMS（物流）等。
涉密度不好把握，就不细聊了，抛几个需要解决的问题供大家思考：
当地运营商网络有地域性，偏远地区连信号都没有，更别说网络了，如何控制激活？
当地交通很差，很多村镇车都进不去，偏远地区如何获得激活码？
当地银行基本上都是民营，也有地域性，城区以外没有银行，大多都是现金交易为主，如何控制支付？
如何销售？
物流？
售后？
......
最后，希望涉足该领域的同胞们，能够保证产品质量，做非洲人民最需要的产品，让世界相信“Made in China”。
