onlyuse ersonal5

1H FY22 experienced ongoing volatility in purchasing patterns as customers were impacted by global challenges in PPE oversupply, supply chains disruption, material and staff shortages. CleanSpace implemented sales and marketing initiatives to address these immediate challenges and leverage an expanded customer base to drive ongoing use and wider adoption.

  • Expanded sales/marketing capabilities in North America, Europe and APAC to:
    • Accelerate a direct model of lead acquisition as traditional distribution channels deal with the oversupply in PPE;
    • Establish deeper engagement with existing customers to support the 'land and expand' strategy and ongoing sale of products and services
  • Healthcare procurement strategies have advanced: hospitals re-ordering directly and through distribution partners, supply contracts in place, registered with three major GPOs (US and Japan); registered supplier with 47 US States; and referenced in government and medical association PPE guidelines
  • Industrial markets recovery was impacted by global supply issues, disruptions from outbreaks and distributors managing through surplus stock. During this period, CleanSpace increased its focus on existing key accounts and is seeing positive activity in its key sectors - mining, stone, metal, chemical and pharma. Recently, major distributors are moving back to stocking levels indicative of building market confidence and larger customers purchasing patterns
  • Marketing initiatives are focused on increased lead acquisition, media and thought leadership. The business has replaced a traditional advertising model with its global digital marketing strategy. The business recently launched its e-commerce platform in Australia, which will open to the US in March, with European markets to follow later this year. While still early, the initial e-commerce traffic and sales activity are encouraging
