Executed properly, service parts logistics can be a key competitive advantage and profit center for many companies. In fact, recent economic weakness has accentuated the role of post-sales service operations in manufacturers’ revenue mix, as customers put off new purchases and look to extend the life of their equipment. Service parts logistics is complex, dynamic, and challenging – characterised, for instance, by irregular demand and by tension between minimising inventory costs and minimising customers’ downtime. Many businesses muddle through with service parts logistics performance well short of ideal, inflating costs, damaging customer relations and eroding profits.

We’ll reduce your service operation costs while improving the support you provide your customers. Here’s how we will help you create an effective and profitable post-sales service operation:
