How Servitization is Changing the Construction Industry

The concept of servitization is not a new phenomenon. The term was formally defined in the 1980s but its essence- bundling service packages with products to add value - goes back several decades earlier. Recently, servitization has come to the fore as a shaping force in the construction industry. For companies looking to add innovative service and asset management capabilities to their offerings, the benefits are straightforward.

Adding service has been found to result in:

  • A 5-­10% annual increase in service revenue.
  • Maintenance cost reductions of 25–30%.
  • Improved product and asset performance.

VARs: Grow Revenue Through Better Contract Renewal Strategies

The ability to maximize revenue growth of any offering depends on the processes in place to support that offering. For solution providers, this is especially relevant for annuity and contract management. Annuity management is a profitable growth area, however, it can be a chaotic undertaking with increasing complexity as the business grows.

However, annuity agreement management is often approached with little regard to all three of those components. A common approach is to address the challenge with people, but with little regard to process and tools. As the business grows, the volume and complexity of the agreements quickly overwhelm a company’s ability to address the problem solely from a manpower perspective.

Planning For a Successful ERP Implementation

Companies justify moving to a standard enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution based on a number of compelling reasons. By supporting a single system rather than several smaller and disparate systems, they can enjoy economies of scale. Additionally, having a single application architecture with fewer user interfaces creates lower integration costs. Plus, with common task automation and easier access to more information, businesses gain efficiencies not available when employees use multiple systems.
