Pioneer of digitalization

Innovation

The MediaMarktSaturn Retail Group is a pioneer in the digitalization of retail and stands for innovation in all areas: its products and services, its in-store systems, and its business models.

Product innovations

The world of technology is changing rapidly, and new products are constantly coming onto the market that surpass their predecessor models. Regardless of whether it's a kitchen appliance, smartphone, notebook or drone - the brands of the MediaMarktSaturn Retail Group are the first port of call for customers when it comes to new products. A specialized team in our purchasing department is constantly on the lookout for the "next big thing". We currently find product innovations in the health & wellness, smart home, mobility, air conditioning, solar and other categories particularly exciting. Do you have such an innovation? Then you are welcome to contact us!

Service innovations

Because consumer electronics have gone from luxury to "necessity" in the digital world, we provide comprehensive services to ensure that customers can use their products without complications, that they are delivered quickly and, if necessary, financed and immediately repaired. In our stores, our technicians therefore also support our customers directly on site, for example when it comes to the immediate repair of defective smartphones, tablets and notebooks or the installation of new devices. And for home use, Deutsche Technikberatung is our partner. It takes care of setting up the devices and explains how to use them best.

In-store innovations

In order to integrate physical and digital shopping in the best possible way, we are constantly working on new innovations and bringing them to our stores. Smartphone navigation systems for our stores, apps that provide more comprehensive, faster and simpler sales advice, and intelligent systems that analyze sales patterns - the MediaMarktSaturn Retail Group is already testing today what will change the retail industry tomorrow.

Ground-breaking business models

To complement our existing business models and open up new ones, we’re a partner of Plug and Play. This digital innovation platform supports tech startups throughout the retail value chain in order to facilitate collaborations and partnerships. Its main aim is to jointly implement pilot projects for the future of retail.
