Crosscall, a French manufacturer specialising in sustainable telephony, has recently announced a strategic partnership with Data Select, a trading division of Westcoast Limited. The partnership aims to strengthen Crosscall’s mobile technology offering in the UK.
Crosscall has been designing ultra-resistant smartphones for the past 15 years, phones designed to withstand rugged conditions and damage, and Crosscall smartphones come with a 5-year warranty, including battery, enabling companies to reduce the frequency of replacement of their devices and cut costs. Crosscall’s latest model, the STELLAR-X5, incorporates an AI noise reduction solution, offering optimal communication even in noisy environments. With over 20 years’ experience, Data Select supports the UK channel with a comprehensive portfolio of mobile products, solutions and services, and so the partnership is a good match of experience and undertstanding of the mobile sector.
Kelly Cowan-Johnson, Business Manager – Strategic Brands at Data Select, commented: “We are delighted to announce our new partnership with Crosscall, specialists in mobile technology for outdoor environments, and offer their range of robust products to our reseller channel. With high-performance devices, a 5-year warranty, enhanced by complementary products and bespoke solutions, the Crosscall range is ideally positioned for our corporate resellers. The repairability of their device portfolio is also key to extending device life, a key value shared by both our companies.“
Matthew Burchell, Head of Business UK and Ireland at Crosscall, said: “The signing of this partnership with Data Select, represents a key moment in Crosscall’s development in the UK. We are delighted to be working with such a reputable distribution partner with whom we share common values. We are confident that their mobile-centric vision and the strength of their reseller channel will enable Crosscall to embark on a rapid expansion and establish a sustainable foothold in this market.”
In France, Crosscall terminals are already used by some of the country’s most important companies and institutions, including the Ministry of the Interior, SNCF (the French state-owned railway company) and Leroy Merlin, the specialist home retailer.
For Crosscall, thie partnership marks an important step in the company’s development. The UK is a key market in its internationalisation strategy, and the French manufacturer will be relying on the full range of services offered by Data Select to accelerate its development there.
