Strategically, they created new social networks, as well as innovative videos in a more interactive way with customers, they also gave the product training session to resume technological advances related to ProAV. Virtual sessions were optimally leveraged and these clients obtained certification at different levels by successfully completing them. This represents a great motivation to keep moving forward during the pandemic.
"We expanded the scale of the residential market to provide our AV distribution solution integrated with third-party home automation systems such as Control4, Elan, Savant, RTI and more. In 2021 everyone has already adapted to a new work and personal transformation. I believe that we will continue to manage the ProAV sector thus providing the benefit of our database established to support our customers to prepare for reactivation; this is a main theme for this year," he concluded.
