Garmin looked to Channel Intelligence (CI) to employ CI’s Where-to-Buy services
By flankenking . 1 second ago . Permalink
Garmin had strong traffic on their site, but they needed a better way to direct
ready-to-buy prospects to the retail partner best suited for the sale.

Garmin’s retail distribution spans a variety of retail partners worldwide – from
big box to regional independent dealers. At the time, they were also
struggling with a lead referral system that was below their standards and
requirements in regards to reliability and accuracy.

An opportunity existed to vastly improve upon both the customer experience
on their site and the quality of leads referred to retail partners.

Garmin was eager to implement a more robust customer referral solution.

ci solution:
Garmin looked to Channel Intelligence (CI) to employ CI’s Where-to-Buy services. Key among their
requirements was that Garmin wanted to make sure that every one of its dealers would able to participate in its
Where-to-Buy referrals. Their CI Where-to-Buy solution was designed to accommodate all retailers, both large
and small.  

denn allein Procurian ist bei einer konserativen Bewertung mit dem 5-fachen Multiple 750 Millionen wert. Und da ICG Group an Procurian 80% hält, wären das allein schon 600 Millionen. Alle anderen Assets von Local Corp, die restlichen Beteiligungen und die Kasse, kämen dann noch kostenlos dazu.  

because the valuation of Procurian by 150 million revenues in 2012 with 5-times-revenues are a very conserative estimate (mutiple of Ariba was the double by the buy through SAP) = 750 million. And ICG Group owning 80% = 600 million.

All other assets and the cash are free additional.

Campmor Increases Sales Ten-fold on Product Listing Ads by Leveraging
Channel Intelligence’s Managed Services Offering

Recreational Equipment Retailer Maintains Target Return on Ad Spend While Driving Substantial Sales Growth for First Six Months of 2012

Orlando, Fla. — (September 13, 2012) – Channel Intelligence (CI), leading provider of technology services that drive online purchases today shared results and a testimonial from recreational equipment retailer, Campmor. Working with CI’s managed services team, Campmor increased sales ten-fold on Google Product Listing Ads (PLA) over the first six months of 2012 and maintained target return on ad spend.

Campmor has long been a leading online retailer. The company has heritage as a catalog retailer and a strong belief in the value of product advertising. Campmor has been an innovator and early adopter of new approaches to marketing technology. Shortly after becoming a Google PLA advertiser, Campmor engaged the services of CI because of CI’s history of producing results through Google. CI worked with Campmor to optimize Google PLA within the context of Campmor’s goals, helping the retailer increase sales by a multiple of ten over the first six months of 2012.  

Q2/2012 von Procurian:

Revenues grew 23% to $37.4 million compared with $30.5 million in Q2 2011
•EBITDA of $7.8 million from $5 million in Q2 2012
•Signed 2 new clients as well as 6 key expanded or extended contracts with existing clients
•Established delivery operations in Buenos Aires to support client needs in Latin America
•Complete Media IQ acquisition which significantly enhances Procurian’s marketing spend optimization capabilities in the area of media spend.
–Integration of Procurian and Media IQ creates leading platform with more than 75 specialists actively working with approximately $7 billion of spend each year, across 40 blue-chip clients

Daraus lassen sich problemlos ein  Umsatz von 150 Millionen und ein EBITDA von 30 Millionen für Procurian ableiten. Und dann wären wir, selbst dann wenn wir nur das absurd niedrige Multiple von 3 wählen würden, bei einem Unternehmenswert von Procurian von 450 Million - und die 80% von ICG Group hätten einen Wert von 360 Millionen.

Würde Procurian so bewertet wie Ariba,  müsste die Bewertung bei ca. 1,2 Milliarden liegen und die 80% von ICG Group wären 960 Millionen wert.

Eine sehr konserative Bewertung wäre ein Multiple von 4, was auf einen Unternehmenswert von Procurian auf 600 Millionen hinausliefe, was aber nach oben noch extrem viel Luft zulässt.

Die 80% von ICG Group an Procurian wären dann allein schon 480 Millionen wert, was schon erhebhlich über der momentanen Marktkaqpitalisierung liegt. Und die Cash von ICG Group und die anderen Beteiligung außer Procurian gäbe es obendrei noch kostenlos dazu.

Based in Chicago, MSDSonline provides cloud-based products and services that help environmental health and safety professionals manage and reduce potential workplace and environmental hazards.

ICG (NASDAQ:ICGE) will make MSDSonline part of its Government and Compliance Group, along with GovDelivery, a St. Paul, Minn., company whose software enables government agencies to communicate digitally with the public.

GovDelivery, which provides digital communications solutions to government entities, said Tuesday that it is expanding its St. Paul headquarters, as well as its local work force, amid a year of record sales.

On Wednesday, the company will celebrate the opening of its expanded St. Paul office, which previously included 14,500 square feet but has been expanded by more than 30 percent, according to Communications Manager Mary Yang.

The company has consistently grown its work force, and it has additional plans for boosting its headcount. According to Yang, GovDelivery added 33 employees in 2011 and has made 30 hires thus far in 2012. Today, the company employs more than 100 people, primarily in St. Paul. (It employs about a dozen at offices in Washington, D.C., and the United Kingdom.)

The company continues to bolster its product development and client support teams, and there’s “definitely continued growth in the St. Paul office—where we’re always looking for more talent,” Yang said.

She said the company has “aggressive growth goals.” It has grown its employee base by 30 percent to 40 percent annually during the past several years and expects to maintain that pace in 2013.

GovDelivery also recently expanded its leadership team to include Chief Operating Officer Bob Ainsbury and Lance Horne, general manager of the federal market.

The company said that it is experiencing record annual sales, due in part to the addition of three of its “largest, most comprehensive contracts to date in its three major markets”—federal, state and local, and international government. The company announced earlier this month, for example, that it will provide services to the Cabinet Office’s Government Digital Service, which represents GovDelivery’s largest U.K. contract to date.

Yang deferred questions regarding the company’s revenue to CEO Scott Burns, who was unavailable for comment Tuesday morning.

GovDelivery’s core products involve e-mail, social media, and other technology services through which government clients communicate with the public. The cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, for example, use the company’s services to send snow-emergency notifications via text messages, Yang said. The company currently provides services to more than 550 government organizations.

“We are thrilled that our continued commitment to helping government leverage digital communications to communicate more effectively and efficiently is resulting in such successful outcomes for our customers,” Burns said in a statement. “Our strong growth and the enhancements to our team position GovDelivery to continue to provide innovative and impactful solutions to our clients, both in the U.S and internationally going forward.”

To learn more about GovDelivery and its recent growth, watch for a profile of the company in the January issue of Twin Cities Business.  

siedele ich zwischen 15 und 17 Milllionen an. Angesichts des hohen Umsatzwachstums wäre eine Bewertung mit einem Mutliple von 4 eher noch konserativ = ca. 64 Millionen. Die 92% von ICG Group an Govdelivery hätten dann einen Wert von 59 Millionen.  

80% an Procurion = 480 Millionen

52% an Channelintelligence = 61 Millionen

96% an MSDSonline = 48 Millionen
