Australian telco disruptor, Vonex, has officially launched its partnership with Australia’s largest business to business loyalty program, Qantas Business Rewards, or “QBR”.
Through this partnership, businesses of any size in the QBR program can now earn unlimited reward points for every purchase made with the company’s monthly “ONdesk” cloud‐based phone plans.
ONdesk is the company’s cloud‐based private automatic branch exchange telephony system that allows phone calls to be made over the internet rather than over costly telco fixed lines.
Vonex is looking to tap into Qantas’ 250,000 small and medium enterprise members with the new partnership.
Managing Director Matt Fahey said: “As an example of the value we can add … Our modelling shows that a typical 10‐person business on the old copper network would typically spend an average of $47,000 on equipment, line and toll charges over a five‐year period.”
“We can reduce that cost by more than half with our cloud‐based ONdesk service; over the same five‐year period, a customer’s bill with Vonex would be as little as $18,000.”
“Now as a Qantas Business Rewards partner, we are looking forward to giving back to Vonex customers by providing unlimited rewards for doing business in the cloud.”
The company has also increased its core cloud-based private automatic branch exchange telephony business with more than 31,000 registered active users now on its books, up from 30,000 users last month.
