Crosscall, Europe’s Largest Rugged Smartphone Company, Partners with Ci Distribution

Basingstoke, England – May 2, 2024 - Crosscall, Europe’s largest rugged smartphone company, has teamed up with UK-based value-added distributor Ci Distribution. This partnership comes as Crosscall expands into the UK and Ireland.

“When entering a new region, it’s vital to work in partnership with those who have a deep understanding of the market and channel,” said Matthew Burchell, Crosscall’s Head of Business Development for the UK & Ireland, explaining their partnership with Ci Distribution.

“Ci Distribution offers us tremendous value in their expertise in the rugged device market and strong relationships with leading VARs and MSPs. In working with Ci Distribution, we have a strategic alignment with a partner that has an enviable reputation and knowledge of the markets we address.”

 

The modern workforce with an aesthetic look 

With limited options in the B2B mobile market in the UK and Ireland, Crosscall introduces a fresh perspective with devices that marry robustness with aesthetic appeal, effectively bridging the gap between consumer and professional needs. Their range of durable, waterproof devices with a long-lasting battery life promises enhanced productivity and security at a competitive price point, challenging the established brands. Moreover, Crosscall is the first and only brand to offer a 5-year warranty on smartphones and tablets, with the competition trailing far behind.

Crosscall’s offer covers not only the hardware but also the software and services. In the past, the firm’s clients were impressed by the personalised service implementing solutions perfectly tailored to their needs. Special features such as pre-licensed PTT or scanning solutions have been developed over the years to satisfy client needs.

The brand’s smartphones and tablets, enhanced by an ecosystem of accessories and customisable B2B applications, provide tailored solutions that boost business operations in any setting, including rough outdoor conditions. Furthermore, every device that Crosscall offers in the UK and Ireland is Android Enterprise Recommended certified.

 

Unmatched options, reliability, and assistance

As highlighted by Matthew Burchell, Crosscall’s Head of Business Development for the UK & Ireland, “The Crosscall approach is entirely user-centric.” They focus on creating products and services that solve real-world problems with technology. In doing so, they have developed a wide range of rugged, lasting technology, with accessories and services that combine to create an ecosystem suitable for almost any business application. 

“Based on our experiences and success in other markets, we can confidently say that we have a solution for almost any use case. Our products are typically chosen by customers who are looking for longevity, security, and innovation. As our technology is built to last in even the most demanding environments, our customers enjoy a competitive TCO and substantial sustainability benefits,” Matthew Burchell continued. “Ci Distribution will be a vital partner in making this project a success.”
