Summary of Samsung Australia continues its B2B Mobile eXperience distribution expansion, with new partner, World’s Best Technology

Samsung Electronics Australia today announced the expansion of its Mobile eXperience (MX) channel distribution, making its rugged mobile and tablet range available through World’s Best Technology (WBT). The announcement marks the latest phase of Samsung’s local B2B offering expansion, increasing WBT’s existing distribution remit to include Samsung’s MX portfolio. With this expansion, WBT is now the first Australian distributor to have access to Samsung’s complete B2B suite, spanning Mobile, Audio-Visual Display, Home Appliances, and Air Solutions.

 

 

Gino Casha, Head of MX B2B at Samsung Electronic Australia said, “There is a growing appetite for custom, enterprise-ready technology products being rolled out as an ecosystem that is fully connected. Specifically, within accommodation scenarios, across various sectors. With this growing demand, diversifying our distribution mix and having mobile or tablet at the core, is critical. By partnering with WBT, we are both growing our network to provide greater customer access, while also offering a bespoke integration option to prospective customers. Through our latest expansion, we are ensuring our MX solutions are considered, given a mobile or tablet has multiple touch points and are critical in controlling and managing an integrated solutions ecosystem.”

 

With the expansion, Samsung Australia entire enterprise product suite will be available in a sole distribution partner for the first time; and will streamline by enabling WBT’s customers to design and deliver comprehensive solutions, spanning hardware, software, and connected services, more effectively to end customers requiring integrated, multi-product deployments. This aims to be particularly valuable for organisations in hospitality, accommodation, aged care, student housing, and construction, where coordinated technology deployments across multiple locations and property types are essential.

 

Jaiden Maggs, Sales Director, World’s Best Technology, elaborated: “We’re excited to expand our strategic relationship with Samsung to now encompass full distribution of Samsung’s MX solution portfolio across the Australian channel. Mobile phones and tablets are at the centre of enterprise connectivity, and allow for greater control and synergies. By providing the full ecosystem suite, it strengthens WBT’s ability to deliver integrated technology solutions to our channel partners, enabling Samsung to scale its reach through their established expertise in design, installation, and solution deployment. By combining Samsung’s innovation with our specialist capabilities, we are positioned to unlock new growth opportunities across commercial and accommodation verticals.”

 

Samsung’s rugged portfolio includes smartphones and tablets designed for various work environments, featuring IP68 ratings and MIL-STD-810H for performance[1], and protected by Samsung Knox built-in security. The partnership with WBT aims to make these solutions more accessible to organisations seeking high-performance, secure and reliable devices integrated with Samsung’s broader B2B ecosystem.
