Why we are here

image

It was Karim Barkawi and a small team of Barkawi Management Consultants who founded B2X in 2007 in the tailwind of taking over global customer service and warranty operations of Siemens Mobile. Karim realized the potential of how a platform-based service delivery model could disrupt conventional service setups and profitability gains by sub-contracting and consolidating service volumes into a specialized partner network and by intelligently orchestrating service operations by leveraging unified service management technology and the establishment of a central operations control tower.

Ever since, B2X has dedicated itself to build a leading post-sales service platform connecting electronic manufacturers, customers and service networks across the globe and to become a full-service provider for best cost value-added logistics and technology support services.

Starting as a traditional Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) provider in the customer service and mobile communication industry, we have made significant investments in our technology platform, vendor & fulfillment networks as well as service operation capabilities in order to expand our value proposition to end-2-end service solutions for all kinds of electronic products.

Today, B2X is a provider of Managed Services in the area of value-added logistic and post-sales service for electronic products and provides a high variant of solutions along a client’s product life-cycle (from deployment, customer support, onsite support to central depot repair services).

Today, we support leading brands in various industries such as Apple, Google, Samsung, Tier Mobility, Orange Ventures or Xiaomi.

We address typical service business goals

  • Time-to-market and geographical business extension
  • New levels of service experience from onsite deployments and walk-in services to central depot repair and advance exchange solutions
  • Optimization of total service and warranty cost

Ecosystem

B2X Service Platform

The role of post-sales services including product deployment, customer support, maintenance and repair has never been more significant for an electronic OEM’s operations than nowadays. It is a major profit center, contributing nearly 75-80% to an OEM’s core business profits.

Our clients require reliable and efficient services to support their product lines such as mobile phones, entertainment devices, office equipment, payment devices, e-scooters, kiosk terminals, POS systems.

Out-tasking product deployment, customer remote support, maintenance & repair services to B2X saves time, money and resources that would be required to create and maintain a global, post-sales technology support infrastructure.

B2X ONE | Technology Platform

Some of the world’s best-known companies rely on our solutions to offer excellent post-sales services. Delivering reliable SLA results and business outcomes is also the result of a homogeneous and standardized service delivery with a unified view on performance, critical control points and process outliers. Managing and orchestrating multi-channel service networks from every angle of the customer journey and service fulfillment processes require tying together hundreds of service partners and (online / offline) touchpoints, thousands of customers or devices and millions of services incidents in one unified platform.

We see ourselves as the maestro of such an ensemble in order to make them “play efficiently together” to create the desired business outcomes. We get supported by our technology platform “B2X ONE” that build around five key-principles:

  • End-to-end visibility into critical service processes
  • Pinpoint service anomalies before they cause service disruptions
  • Drill down into the root cause of a problem and expedite the time to identify means to resolve the issues
  • Eliminate data and information silos with one data source of truth
  • Simplify connectivity to our partners by applying standard APIs for data exchange

Our Identity: Never Settle

B2X is all about dedication, innovation and cross-functional team work on a global scale. Having our roots near the Bavarian Alps in Munich, Germany, our heritage ever since is influenced by our teams and client communities spread across the globe – from APAC to India, Europe and Americas. And ever since we have been supporting clients across the globe as an independent partner who can provide innovative, bespoke and scalable business process solutions from (forward and reverse) logistics to efficient and innovative after sales services - either covering specific sub-processes or the entire end-to-end service value chain. And with our clients’ requirements being as demanding as the industries and markets they are playing in, our DNA is determined by the need to continuously adapt, change or innovate our service management routines and applications while reducing complexity through standardization in everything we do.

B2X Core Values

We do not paint our values onto the office walls, or see them as things that should sound or look good to the outside.

Our Values are there to guide us toward our common mission and objectives and through times of uncertainty, continuous change and transformation of daily routines and ways of living (society, scarcity, policy, technology).

Working as a global community embedded into multi-dimensional partnership and delivery networks with million of service transactions and complex interaction models require strong values that keep us focused on doing the right things, at the right time, at the right place and at the right level of compliance.

Each of our values is aligned with what will guide us to achieve our mission.

We help brands to create unique customer experiences across the globe by applying our good judgement, strong expertise and relentlessly high standards in delivering the best possible services,

We are a truly global community sharing the passion of building, implementing and operating bespoke solutions for our clients. And we believe in the collective intelligence of our organization by encouraging all B2X employees across the world to bring up and contribute ideas. From APAC, India, Europe to Americas. We bring our teams together to provide the best possible support to our clients. Hundred individuals. One face and approach to the customer.

We want to better everyday by seeing ourselves as a strong team, consisting of highly-skilled and competent players. We know that providing bespoke solutions to our clients requires depth, process know-how and dedication. We invest in and support our teams across the global to make them true service experts, learn our clients languages, stay on top of industry trends, norms and dynamics.

If you want to go fast – go on your own. If you want to go far – go together! We at B2X seek to create lasting relationships with our ecosystem to foster sustainability - including employees, clients, fulfillment partners and our shareholders. Today’s hyper-competitive global markets require us to ensemble the partners in our ecosystem to ensure we meet the needs of our users by providing solutions, services and support that make a difference.

Our clients’ businesses are continuously transforming. So is B2X and our need to adapt to ever changing market dynamics and requirements. We see courage is a prerequisite for B2X to manage continuous transformation and help our teams to find the best solutions for our clients. We see courage as an enabler for decision making and for giving our employees the opportunity to take risks, decisions and the freedom to fail. Failure sparks a world of fear in many companies. But if our employees are afraid to fail, they are far less likely to innovate, and opportunities will be missed.

Integrity means that we are truthful and honest in all areas of life and in our professional work. Managing and delivering multi-facet service transactions on a global scale requires all B2X community members doing things with integrity. This is not optional or situational! Integrity is the foundation of our B2X community and demonstrating this value is integral to gaining the trust of our coworkers, clients, shareholders, and the global B2X service partner world.
