About the business of CSB Engage
CSB Engage is a software development company focused on providing a range of proprietary white-labelled reward and customer engagement solutions for its clients in Australia, Singapore and South Africa, in the Retail, Hospitality and Health and Wellness Market Sectors.
Under a Business to Business ( B2B ) model, CSB Engage sells software and mobile application solutions that allow retailers and brands to reward customers for brand advocacy and loyalty. Its customisable products and fully-integrated end-to-end software solutions generate revenue in the form of upfront fees for licensing, setup and implementation plus recurring fees and ad hoc charges.
About airBux
Key to CSB Engage’s future growth strategy, airBux is a cloud-based loyalty platform for small to medium sized retailers. To be commercialised as a software as a service ( SaaS ) offering, airBux provides merchants with a secure platform that allows consumers to, by using the airBux app, find physical stores, search for products and services, transact, view offers and receive geo-location targeted promotions and advertising. Consumers earn ‘airBux’ virtual currency as a reward for transacting with participating merchants, which can then be spent with subscribing merchants anywhere around the globe where airBux has been deployed. airBux Pay will be embedded in existing networks of point-of-sale terminals, to allow users to pay for goods at participating merchants using the app and mobile using ‘near field communication’ technology.
airBux is currently in the later stages of development and testing, with a commercial roll out on track for the 2018 Calendar Year. airBux is intended to be marketed directly to consumers, strategic partners and merchants, who will be incentivised to participate via an equity participation and revenue sharing arrangement. CSB Engage will earn revenue in the form of recurring subscription fees and from providing a range of additional services.
Use of Funds
The funds raised under the Prospectus will, among other things, enable CSB Engage to commercialise airBux, and other products currently under development. The funds will also be used to increase the sales and marketing activity of the business to support its existing products and drive customer and revenue growth in Australia, Singapore and South Africa. A portion of the funds will also be used to strengthen Mobecom’s balance sheet by paying down debt.
Mobecom’s new Chief Executive Officer, Neil Joseph, states:
“Mobecom now has a range of products that access a large and growing market, driven by the continued growth in mobile phone use globally. Increasingly, consumers are using their mobile phones to search for products, complete e-commerce transactions, access social media platforms and perform cashless transactions. This trend continues to drive strong demand from brands, retailers and service providers, for mobile-based applications and solutions that cater to this trend in consumer behaviour and help capture and retain loyal customers.”
“This successful fundraise ensures we are in the position to drive strong customer and revenue growth and increase the sales and marketing activity in support of our existing products. Furthermore, we remain focused on finalising the development of our airBux product ahead of a full commercial rollout planned for 2018 and expect it to be met with strong interest and demand.”
“I would like to thank our new and existing shareholders for their ongoing support, with the success of this raise, which provides strong validation of our product offering and plans for strategic growth.”
