CLOUD-BASED automated debtor management solution IODM Limited (ASX: IOD) (“IODM” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide a report of its activities for the quarter ending 30 September 2016.
Throughout the quarter, the Company made significant progress in executing its business plan to create new strategic partnerships, a national distribution network and revenue contracts. As a result, the Company believes these efforts will create an uplift in sales during the December and March quarters.
Strategic Partnerships
SV Partners: Commenced negotiations to form a strategic alliance with national accounting firm and insolvency specialists, SV Partners. The deal will see SV Partners integrate its fee funding and payment solution, Smart Fee onto the IODM platform. SV Partners has a network of approximately 4,000 small to medium size accounting firms across Australia
RSM Canberra: In September RSM Canberra went live with IODM as part of a two month paid trial. Should the trial meet with RSM Canberra’s requirements, it will introduce IODM to 26 offices across Australia. The trial is for internal purposes but is also likely to lead to IODM being introduced to RSM’s broader client base.
Maestrano: IODM continued talks with Maestrano regarding a global rollout, with the view to IODM becoming a standard offering to all its clients globally. Over the quarter, the Company met Maestrano’s head of sales and sales team to promote IODM.

NAB : The Company continued to explore the commercialisation strategy with NAB, with the objective of formalising a “go to market” strategy for a rollout in March 2017.
ANZ: An initial meeting with high-level ANZ management was facilitated by York Butter Factory. The IODM value proposition was well received, and the Company will continue discussions in the upcoming quarter.
Sales
During the quarter, the Company commenced enabling accounting firms to rollout IODM to their client base under a White Label Solution, providing IODM with a new distribution avenue to the SME market. Given the current Work in Progress (WIP) and trials in the marketplace, the Company is confident the sales pipeline will convert to revenue throughout the December quarter.
To further grow the sales pipeline, IODM continues to build vertical relationships throughout the accounting industry across the country. IODM’s national distribution network also allows the Company to engage in new business opportunities in industry verticals outside accounting.
During the quarter the company finalised the Wilson Security proposal and are expecting sign off from Wilson’s management. This is expected to be signed off and go to revenue in the December quarter.
Consistent with the Company’s go-to-market strategy, IODM increased the depth of the distribution capability by adding two additional members to its Victorian distributor network. This brings the total number of IODM distributors to seven across all states. Over the September quarter, confirmation of sales targets and KPI’s for the distribution partners were finalised.
Technology
The Company completed its interface with National Credit Insurance (NCI), Integra Pay and Reckon.
NCI interface : Clients using the IODM system now have direct access to credit checks and credit insurance hosted on the platform. Working with NCI also introduces NCI’s client base to IODM as a software provider of choice.
Integra Pay interface : Integra Pay is a payment gateway / merchant facility organisation which has been integrated with IODM to offer a “Please Pay Now” facility to clients. IODM will receive a fee for all payments processed through this system in addition to its normal subscription income.
Reckon Interface : Reckon is a well-established accounting software provider, widely recognised in the industry. IODM successfully integrated with two Reckon products (APS and Reckon 1). The interface to Reckon positions IODM as an agnostic offering to the accounting industry and also broadens its breadth in sales opportunities in the sector.
