Digital-first ventures for aftermarket
E-commerce serves as a gateway for manufacturers and distributors to explore the aftermarket, unlocking valuable customer pools and data. Launching new customer propositions outside the core business allows for cost-effective value validation and rapid test-and-learn cycles. Leveraging our extensive experience, we aided a global machinery manufacturer in entering the spare parts aftermarket under a new brand. This initiative not only delivered significant value and business growth but also provided crucial insights into customers and parts prone to long-term wear and tear.
Building connected ecosystems
Digital transformation transforms the dynamics of the value chain, enabling direct interaction with end-users for manufacturers, urging distributors to enhance digital channels, and creating competition from smaller, low-cost players. Staying competitive in the future requires comprehensive digitization throughout the value chain. Let us demystify the intricacies and support your decision-making by helping you build, buy, or partner for new propositions.
