Reference: cover all the bases

Reference information:
It's an idiom.

If all bases are covered, all important aspects are satisfactory - someone has paid attention, done work, or solved problems.

This is a metaphor referring to baseball, where being ready to make a play at any base is an important part of the game.

Lastig ja, met zo'n beperkte context.
Maar er valt misschien iets over te zeggen.

Keep all the bases covered. New industry leading combinations.

Er zijn nieuwe combinaties op de markt gekomen.
Dat wordt voorafgegaan door: Keep all the bases covered.

Je zou dan kunnen concluderen: er zijn nieuwe combinaties op de markt gekomen, zorg dat je daar nu dan ook in voorziet (keep all the bases covered)

En het wordt gevolgd door: 'Offer customers the ideal combination...'

Keep all the bases covered. -->

Blijf in alle behoeften van klanten voorzien / Blijf voor een volledig aanbod zorgen. Nieuwe geavanceerde combinaties.
Bied klanten de ideale combinatie...
