ComX's Sahara computer products catalogue

Latest news about Sahara Shop

Sahara Shop has been a huge success, with hundreds of sales enquiries (telephonic, email and Internet forms) in it's first few days of operation, and without a complete on-line catalog either, this is a huge achievement. This has placed the Sahara computer brand on the first steps to a successful e-company entry, placing it on an equal footing and perhaps even higher than most other major brands in South Africa on it's initial entry onto the e-commerce world.

Latest news on ComXpert International

ComXpert International has become one of only four major e-commerce computer stores in South Africa to achieve the top 5% position on the Internet (that is all web sites, all categories, all countries - worldwide)* - placing ComX as one of the top Internet based companies in Africa, and the managers are confidant that the success of it's main store will soon filter to the brand stores as well, which is no surprise that ComX has yet again been negotiating with another distributor - we make e-companies work in south Africa! You can visit the main ComX store here.

* The positioning has been confirmed by independant statitics and an independant International search engine company. General retailers and unknown companies are not considered if they cannot be found on the Internet. The top search engine listed South African companies in all categories were considered.
