Business Model

Benade Enterprises was founded on a minimal budget and as a result have adapted our strategies accordingly by taking on projects on a C.O.D basis and paying all of our suppliers as soon as we pick up stock and thus we focus our efforts into creating revenue through service delivery rather than sales. This strategy ensured that our service delivery became renowned for in the local market as a company that does not “sell and forget” but rather builds a relationship with our partners, and see to it that all they’re needs are met in a timely and professional manner by selling the necessary hardware accustomed to their needs and then maintaining the systems by means of Service Level Agreements and regular returns. This all puts us in a position where we have no debt with any banks or any accounts with our suppliers which in turn keeps overheads to a minimum. We strive to uphold this model for as long as possible.

Conclusion Benade Enterprises is a small but ever growing operation that strives for service excellence in the Information Technology and Security Technology field. With major partners such as the above mentioned and also daily calls to new leads we firmly believe that we have secured a good reputation in an Industry filled with fly-by-night companies and self-proclaimed engineers which often give the industry a bad name. Benade Enterprises strives to provide cost-effective solutions that fits within a partner’s budget yet gets the job done rather than selling overly-technical and expensive solutions that in the end leaves the client with a system that exceeds their needs thus damaging our company’s good name. With time and growth both parties end up having a good relationship and an almost “no questions asked” trust relation when it comes to major upgrades due to growth within our partner’s firm.
