Customers in the spare parts sector expect a high level of service. The availability of information, technology-based services, physical logistics, and the right spare or replacement part decide the quality of the service. Deviations cause customers to consider your competitor’s solutions both in the high-margin aftermarket business and in case of investment decisions. Due to fluctuations in demand, the market is also very dynamic. This is magnified by product life cycles that are becoming increasingly shorter and a larger product variety.
In order to make a profit with spare parts services, and maintain a positive company image, innovative solutions on all process levels are necessary.
