Accounts Receivable Clerk

  • Full-time

Company Description

Digital Planet was founded in 1998 by two young entrepreneurs who thought that the internet would probably be the next big thing. They were so committed to their dream of becoming the country’s Amazon equivalent, one day, they asked, “What if other people need e-commerce sites and tech sales channels managed on their behalf? And what if we could help more people get their hands on technology?” This prompted a quick pivot after which they realised that other, more established companies could benefit from having their own e-commerce sites developed.

From pressing click on the screen to ding-dong at the door, Digital Planet manages the entire process: from the call centres to the product lifecycle, customer journey and deliveries on the client’s behalf. And all these offerings are structured to to make sure that Digital Planet adds value to the end-consumer by building in services or products that will make their world better.

That’s how they’ve become known as a can-do crew that genuinely cares about making an impact in the lives of the people they ultimately serve - our country. So much so that the Digital Planet team has made it their company mandate to continue enriching the lives of others through access to technology.

A big dream that they work on every day to turn their “what if” into a reality.
