Challenge
Radiometer already had an expansion plan across Africa with employee representation in South Africa and Kenya. Although it had appointed a distributor in Nigeria, it was yet to see sales growth that aligned with the projections it created for the country
Radiometer needed a clearer understanding of the market which included the high-level healthcare priorities in both the private and public sectors. It also wanted to expand its local channel in Nigeria. Radiometer chose kpakpakpa to provide clearer insights into the local market and to select new channel partners.
