Innovative Changes to Distribution

Map showing increase in company’s reach by location from fy20 to FY21
A notable impact to the business during this financial year were the continued restrictions placed on traditional distribution network.
Prior to the pandemic sales and distribution had predominantly relied on face-to-face auctions.
As a result of COVID the Company was impacted by government restrictions and international travel disrupted people and pearl movements.
Consequently, the Company needed to find immediate alternative methods of selling pearls to ensure that delays to the Company’s revenue stream was minimised.
In response to the immediate need for alternative distribution paths, the Company developed an online auction platform for the exclusive sale of Atlas Pearls.
The Company launched its online auction platform in November 2020 and hosted the first full harvest online auction in December 2020.
The online platform proved to be highly successful with clients participating from all over the world including Australia, New Zealand, Japan, China, the USA and Spain.
The online platform, which is supported by an Atlas App, has generated sales from Customers that traditional sales networks did not reach.
It forms a key part of a multi-faceted approach to sales and its success reflects the agile nature of Atlas Pearls in harnessing opportunities in FY21. Customer diversification is increasing with the Company increasing its customer base and reach.
The Company was able quickly adjust the product profiles to meet new customers requirements such including smaller bag sizes and offering different goods in different sales channels.
