Construction / Building Machinery

In the world of construction machinery, challenges are evolving as fast as the projects you deliver. From digital transformation and network development to mastering data and exceeding customer expectations—success demands more than just powerful machines. Discover how leading-edge strategies, innovative solutions, and a passion for performance can help you turn today’s challenges into tomorrow’s opportunities.

Key challenges

Sales Steering & Online Visibility
Effectively steering sales activities and increasing online visibility are central challenges. Companies must adapt to changing customer behaviors, where digital channels play a growing role in the decision-making process. This requires robust online strategies, targeted lead generation, and the ability to track and optimize sales performance across multiple platforms.

Customer Experience & Professionalization
Delivering an outstanding customer experience is more important than ever. The industry faces the task of professionalizing every touchpoint—from initial inquiry to aftersales support. This includes investing in staff training, standardizing processes, and leveraging digital tools to ensure consistent, high-quality interactions that build trust and loyalty.

Network & Dealer Development
Building and maintaining a strong dealer and service network is crucial for market success. Companies must focus on recruiting, developing, and supporting dealers to ensure they can meet evolving customer needs, represent the brand effectively, and deliver reliable service across regions.

Data Management & CRM Integration
Harnessing the power of data is a key differentiator. Integrating CRM systems and using data analytics enables companies to better understand customer needs, personalize offerings, and make informed business decisions. The challenge lies in breaking down data silos, ensuring data quality, and fostering a data-driven culture.

Pricing, Cost Pressure & Margin Management
The industry is under constant pressure to optimize pricing and manage costs. Rising input prices, competitive markets, and customer demands for transparency require companies to develop dynamic pricing strategies and continuously seek efficiencies to protect margins.

Demand Fluctuations & Overcapacity
Managing fluctuating demand and avoiding overcapacity are ongoing challenges. Companies must be agile in adjusting production, inventory, and workforce levels to respond to market cycles, while also developing flexible business models that can withstand economic volatility.

Lead Generation & Business Model Innovation
Generating high-quality leads and innovating business models are essential for sustainable growth. This involves adopting new approaches to marketing, exploring digital sales channels, and developing value-added services that differentiate the company in a crowded marketplace.

Consolidation & Changing Market Structures
The market is experiencing consolidation, with mergers and acquisitions reshaping the competitive landscape. Companies must adapt to these changes by reassessing their strategies, strengthening core competencies, and seeking partnerships that enhance their market position.
