Remmers: legacy built on quality, evolved through smarter CX

Future-ready CX, Remmers’ strategic move to intelligent telephony.

About the Remmers Group

With over 70 years of innovation, Remmers Group is a European leader in high-quality building chemical products, wood paints, and coatings. Operating in Germany and 18 other countries, their mission is quality, sustainability, and continuous improvement, from the ground to the roof.

The Challenge: evolving Customer Contact for a global business   

Remmers needed to unify their fragmented communication systems across borders. The limitations of their on-premise solution such as manual call forwarding, lack of caller info, and no monitoring, were no longer acceptable for a modern, international organization. Remote work, scalability, and customer-centricity became non-negotiable.

“With CC4Teams, we’re not just answering calls, we’re anticipating needs. It enables us to deliver service that’s fast, efficient, and aligned with our quality standards.”

Bernd Eilers
E-Commerce & Digital Services, Remmers Group

The answer: a unified solution built for Microsoft Teams

Remmers chose CC4Teams, a Microsoft-certified, AI-powered contact solution that integrates natively into Microsoft Teams. This allowed them to build a scalable, cloud-first communication structure: one platform, consistent service, covering multiple divisions in multiple countries.

By choosing CC4Teams, Remmers unified its customer contact across countries and departments, directly within Microsoft Teams. The solution supports international growth, multilingual teams, and scalable service operations, all while ensuring compliance and usability across the board.

A strategic, phase-by-phase Implementation

Remmers approached the rollout methodically. A cross-functional project team analyzed requirements, engaged key users, and implemented the solution in structured phases—starting with customer-facing departments and expanding to internal teams and international branches. This ensured adoption, stability, and momentum from day one.

“From a technical perspective, CC4Teams impressed us with how deeply it integrates into Microsoft Teams, and how easily we could enhance it with AI. Features like call transcription, IVR, queue redirection, and SAP integration. Not just ‘nice-to-haves’, they’re now essential for supporting our global users effectively.”
