Physical products wear out due to use or become broken – this is true even for smart devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) – so what gives rise to pressure for change in the area of service?
From our perspective, three factors are primarily responsible for present vehicle service solutions encountering their limits:
- Customer expectations
- Service coverage in new markets
- High pace of innovation in software features
We offer our customers in-depth expertise in the field of services surrounding proven and new mobility. From classic service scopes in the vehicle sector, the definition of requirements for concepts in the mobility sector (Maas), necessary applications, connectivity services (mobile online services) in the vehicle, hardware-oriented services, and innovations involving new operating and maintenance concepts up to and including vehicle periphery and infrastructure focusing on electric mobility.
We Provide Specific Answers to the Following Questions:
What form does the strategy for vehicle fleet update capability take?
How can the full synergy of 'always on' vehicle services be used right up to after-sales?
What success factors are necessary to design services that remain operable over several vehicle generations?
Which markets require which services at which point in time?
How can I design services that offer the customer genuine added value?
