Altitude Group Plc, parent company of global distributor network, AIM Smarter (AIM), announced that the group’s global operations grew revenue by 36 percent in the six-month period ending September 30, 2020. The company attributes the growth to the resilience and entrepreneurial spirit of its distributor community of 2,230 members, and the group’s commitment to its network of 232 global supplier partners.

During the COVID-19 shutdown, AIM shifted to provide access to personal protective equipment (PPE) products to its members and affiliates through its supplier partners, as well as providing resources, virtual meetings and townhalls, education, marketing tools and real-time information to assist in navigating this unprecedented time.

Additionally, the company continued its expansion and focus on its ACS Affiliate Services program, providing comprehensive business support anchored by the provision of finance to distributors. The program further delivers marketing tools, a full technology suite with both an order management system as well as company store and website solutions, back office support, strategic supplier partnerships and expanded incentives to assist distributors in a post-pandemic world.

“In the face of the most challenging business environment in modern times, I am proud of the resilience, effort and performance of the AIM team as well as our distributor and supplier partner community,” says Nichole Stella, CEO of AIM Smarter. “Since the acquisition of AIM in 2019, we have worked tirelessly to develop the foundation and strategy of the business, and have driven significant growth in both revenue and profit for the company and the greater AIM community. This pre-pandemic effort, solid financial resources and ability to be nimble in navigating the challenges imposed by COVID-19 have ensured the company is poised for sustainable future growth.”
