B2X to Manage Global After Sales Service for Yota

SAN FRANCISCO, CA and MUNICH, GERMANY--(Marketwired - Feb 25, 2015) - B2X, the leading provider of customer care for smartphones, today announced that Yota Devices, an innovative international smartphone manufacturer, has chosen B2X as the primary customer care provider for its new Android dual-screen device, the YOTAPHONE2. B2X will initially support the new device rollout in key European markets, Hong Kong and India, with plans for expansion into other Asian markets as well.

"B2X has expansive global reach and local on-the-ground expertise across key regions for us. With this presence and their unique technology and smart service platform, they are able to offer a level of consistently superior after sales care," says a Yota representative.

Yota Devices' latest device, the YOTAPHONE2, features two fully touch-enabled screens, providing its users both a full HD and an e-ink display (similar to that of an e-reader). The e-ink display provides up to 5-7 hours of battery life and allows users to conserve power when performing basic tasks like reading or checking notifications. With Gorilla Glass protecting its sleek, curved form, the YOTAPHONE2 offers both style and durability to its users.

B2X will comprehensively support the YOTAPHONE2 after sales repair, parts and logistics through its software technology, global service partner network and highly experienced staff around the world providing end-to-end customer care services for the devices. B2X's technology and Smart Service Platform provides a consistent interface for claims validation, correction and invoicing while also handling data analysis for spare parts forecasting and planning. The customer care leader will drive repair center performance through ongoing technical training and performance audits.

"It's an honor to work with dynamic and innovative smartphone manufacturers such as Yota Devices," said Thomas Berlemann, B2X's Chief Executive Officer. "We plan to leverage our technology and global Smart Service Platform to provide a positive customer care experience for YOTAPHONE2 customers."

B2X will ensure timely service and support across Hong Kong and key European markets, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Nordics and Eastern Europe. In addition, B2X will support YOTAPHONE customers in India through its innovative multi-brand SMARTBAR in-store solution.
