Post# of 8802
UMS, with $16 million in annual revenue, is a value added master dealer distributor, dedicated wireless equipment distributor and service provider with a device distribution network of sub-dealers – including kiosks, stores and franchised outlets. Through its value added approach, UMS’s sub-dealer network has quickly expanded to over 1,600 outlets across the Southeastern United States. UMS’s services include streamlined inventory management; back-end expertise to ensure and manage quality control fulfillment and reverse logistics operations dealership management; and simplified wireless payment processing enablement services to the wireless industry and a wide inventory of cellular phones with immediate availability.
UMS is a holding company with several subsidiaries: International Touch Point, LLC (“ITP”), United Prepaid, LLC (“United Prepaid”) and United Mobile Solutions, LLC d/b/a CPD MOBILE. ITP was formed in 2014 to provide refurbishment and quality control operation in Dallas, TX. Refurbishment offers the opportunity to develop gross margins in excess of 30%, while providing an additional inventory flow for UMS and its family of companies. ITP is able to handle simple projects from cosmetic refurbishment all the way to the complex level 3 circuit board repairs in large volumes. United Prepaid was formed in 2006 as an exclusive distributor of prepaid cellular phones and airtime in the state of South Carolina for a mobile virtual network operator. With an aptitude to capitalize the existing reseller network, the business soon evolved into a dealer services business model where the company began to enable retailers to accept cellular prepaid payments through a dedicated terminal system. In less than three short years, the business grew to over 900 active locations, grossing $30 million annually. United Prepaid still supports the customers in this network. The active relationships through the dedicated terminal systems positions the company to quickly deploy new services and give access to thousands of locations both directly and indirectly.
