"For all the appeal of eCommerce, the importance of specialist retailers for products that require explanation or complex projects in the B2B sector is irreplaceable. We stand firmly by our partners, who in many cases have been with us for decades. The specialized trade is an important interface between manufacturer and customer. They score points with their advisory skills and provide customers with valuable assistance. We appreciate this and that's why we place such great value on a partnership relationship with our dealers." The close cooperation between Gigaset and specialist retailers therefore continues to gain in importance - regardless of e-commerce and digitalization - in order to be able to satisfy customers and optimally accompany complex unified communications projects in the B2B sector.
