TAM International has 4 lines of business - Online Aggregation, Telecom Operator Partnership, Enterprise Mobility, and Trading. ONLINE AGGREGATION
The online (internet) and other virtual retail sales of consumer durables (TV, Audio, Home Appliances etc) are facing some unique, country specific challenges in India. Three of the main challenges are – speed of delivery across a vast country like Ind
ia, logistics quality (transit damage), and excellent brand relationship ensuring smooth supply of relevant SKUs. The Online Aggregation business of TAM addresses these challenges and gives a customer friendly solution to OEM brands and E-commerce marketers. TAM’s PAN India presence ensures that the delivery chain of its partners remain highly responsive. TAM’s delivery promise to its partners is 3 – 7 days delivery to the customer’s doorstep. The distributed warehouses of TAM enable us to remain very close to the target audience of most e-marketers. Industry research pointing to internet pe*******on and online sales dictated the locations of TAM warehouses in India. This means that we have shortened the time on road of the goods shipped by us. The excellent ground handling, state of the art warehouse management, and reduced transit time all negate the probability of transit damage. The strong industry background of the founding members of TAM enables us to ensure strong and close working relationship. In addition, TAM offers immense value to OEM brands in reaching out and connecting to their digital consumers. This strong synergy with OEMs coupled with intelligent forecasting mechanism ensures that TAM warehouses maintain market specific SKU wise inventory. These make TAM an ideal partner for the Indian digital commerce. This entire initiative is backed by a strong technology platform developed by TAM – the TSmart eWay. TELECOM OPERATOR PARTNER
The Indian Telecom (GSM and CDMA) industry is looking for some new innovation and product offerings to compensate the eroding profitability and stagnating average revenue per user (ARPU) that is characterizing the Indian telecom industry. TAM is working closely with leading players in the telecom industry and offering tailor made ‘go to market’ product offerings. In India, TAM brought a leading telecom operator and a global top 5 mobile handset manufacturer to address some unique needs of the operator’s Indian customers. TAM’s global working relationship with domain leaders in other parts of the world enables us to keep abreast with latest innovations, sometimes even before they hit the market. Being constantly ahead of the curve, we are in an enviable position to offer our India biz partners with unique product offerings. ENTERPRISE MOBILITY
Smartphones and tablets seem to be ruling the mobile adoption in most countries. Gartner estimates that a whopping 1.2 billion smartphones and tablets have been sold. This is a 50% increase over 2012. But in all practicality, these high end computing devices remain grossly under-utilized in most enterprises. These devices are expected to reach a full computing potential by 2013 / 2014. India ranks fifth among the top countries for smartphone users with an estimated 67 million subscribers in 2013, behind China, the US, Japan and Brazil. This potential, coupled with a growing need for enterprise employees to react faster on the fly in a well informed and secure computing environment is driving the next wave of enterprise mobility. There are 2 core components of enterprise mobility – the mobile handset and the mobile application. TAM is in a unique position to address these 2 business needs. TAM has strong in-house technical capability to support and manage mobile application lifecycles. In addition, through our global network, we are in a position to source the appropriate device for our enterprise customers depending on the required technical specifications and allocated budget. In India, our Pan India presence adds more value for localized delivery and device support. TRADING BUSINESS

In addition, TAM has strong connections in the global sourcing community in locations like Hong Kong, Taipei, Seoul, Tokyo, USA and others.

The founding members together have an experience of more than 150 years in providing leadership to topmost global brands in India and beyond. TAM leverages this intrinsic strength for the benefit of the Indian consumers.
