Agricultural Machinery

Smart services for a connected agriculture.

The agricultural machinery sector is undergoing a profound transformation. Manufacturers, dealers, and customers must collaborate more closely to unlock the full potential of digital services. With seasonal peaks, complex machine fleets, and increasing sustainability demands, the challenge lies not only in technology—but in integrating it across the entire value chain.

Key Challenges:

  • Fragmented dealer networks and low digital maturity
  • High investment pressure with shrinking margins
  • Need for customer-centric service and communication models

     

Our Approach:
We support manufacturers and dealers in developing smart sales and service processes — from strategy to implementation. Together, we shape the future of agricultural machinery to be digital, efficient, and customer-focused.

Key Challenges:

  • Dealer network transformation through consolidation and digitization
  • Complex B2B sales processes with evolving buying teams
  • Uptime guarantees and connected service processes as key differentiators

Our Approach:
We help OEMs and dealers future-proof their sales and service organizations —with a focus on efficiency, customer centricity, and digital excellence.

Construction
 

Building under pressure—with smart machine connectivity.

The construction equipment sector faces intense pressure for efficiency and sustainability. Digital solutions promise transparency and control—but implementation often fails due to fragmented processes and lack of integration. Manufacturers and dealers must find new ways to anticipate customer needs and deliver real value.
 

Key Challenges:

  • Project logistics and machine connectivity as strategic levers
  • Safety requirements and regulatory complexity
  • Demand for scalable digital service and support models

     

Our Approach:
We co-create digital ecosystems that intelligently connect machines, people, and processes — for greater productivity, safety, and customer satisfaction.
