The Service of the Future

Digitization, integrated business models, and sustainability

The business of customer service, lifecycle solutions, and spare parts has become an imperative for manufacturers from across all industries. Companies that focus on aftersales and services outperform their peers in terms of profit and resilience in times of crisis.

Each year such “service champions” gather at the Service Leaders Summit from ISLA, sponsored by Deloitte. ISLA is an international network of professionals dedicated to Customer Service, Lifecycle Solutions, and Service Logistics.

At the past two Service Leaders Summits we took the opportunity to interview some of these “service champions” about their digital transformation in service, the trends they see for the future, and finally the key role of service in making our industries more sustainable. Listen to the insightful answers from Bühler, Hitachi Energy, Jungheinrich, Siemens Gamesa and many more.
