Prowise, a leading international player in education digitisation, has announced the launch of a new distribution partnership in the UK. The company has decided to move from a partner model to a distribution model, where they will partner with a reputable distributor for the UK market.

This strategic shift to a distribution model is the result of an extensive analysis of Prowise’s business processes and growth ambitions. It offers significant benefits for both the company and its UK partners and end customers. Ci Distribution is committed to ensuring the highest quality standards for the supply of Prowise digital whiteboards and related hardware and software. Prowise’s UK service organisation will also be acquired. 

Dual Win Situation

The partnership with Ci Distribution offers further opportunities to grow the Prowise brand through CI’s existing distribution network, expanded by the current Prowise partner network. “Our new distribution partner has been selected based on their expertise, reliability, and dedication to customer service. We are confident that they will be a valuable asset to our company and will realise further growth in the UK together with the partners,” says Liesbeth Ahrens, CSO of Prowise.

Ahrens thanks her valued customers, partners and stakeholders for their continued support and trust. She looks forward to working successfully with the new distributor and delivering outstanding products and services to customers around the UK.
