Weyland anticipates the additional revenue stream, synergistic product offerings and entry into the U.S. market provided by the acquisition will drive more than 100% top-line growth in 2020. Weyland recently reported trailing 12-month subscription-based revenues of more than $32 million and turned adjusted EBITDA positive.
Founded in 2009, Push Holdings is the owner of the eCommerce technology company, Push Interactive, which has 20 full-time employees headquartered in Minneapolis, Minn. Push’s direct-to-consumer eCommerce platform provide an end-to-end solution for SMBs and major brands to dramatically increase online revenue and lower their cost of customer acquisition.
The Push technology platform includes comprehensive customer acquisition capabilities, highly productive media and channel strategies, well-tuned product promotion and messaging, and sales funnel development and optimization. Post sale, Push supports fulfillment, customer relationship management, and further monetization through reengagement and remarketing toolsets that enhance customer life time value (LTV). The company developed these SaaS-based solutions in-house, with more than $10 million invested in platform development and eight years of real-world use.
“This will be a transformative acquisition for Weyland in many respects,” said Brent Suen, CEO of Weyland Tech. “Every element of Push’s eCommerce platform is highly synergistic to our existing mCommerce technologies, particularly CreateApp and AtozGo. Our respective offerings are mobile-friendly and provide complementary products and services, and our similar technology and revenue models can be seamlessly integrated into a single platform.”
The integration of the Weyland and Push platforms is expected to greatly enhance the value proposition for the combined existing and prospective customers. It will create significant cross-selling opportunities, including using CreateApp and AtozPay to support U.S.-based projects and campaigns for existing Push enterprise customers and campaigns.
“Push provides Weyland a well-established beachhead in North America, allowing us to attract new users to CreateApp and AtozPay quickly and cost-efficiently,” continued Suen. “This includes greatly reduced customer acquisition costs that we couldn’t have achieved on our own. Together, we will be able to better assist businesses and brands to increase sales, reach more customers, manage logistics, and promote their products and services in an easy, affordable and highly efficient way.”
For CreateApp, U.S. customer acquisition costs previously appeared too high to make entry economically feasible, estimated at $2-$3 per dollar generated. However, by leveraging Push’s well-established and highly efficient technology and operational resources, customer acquisition cost is expected to be as little as $0.30 on the dollar. The merger of the two platforms is also is expected to create additional economies of scale for furthering enhancing gross margins.
