Aftermarket & Service Business

The installed base you already own.

OEMs under-capture the installed base they already own. We have sized a $24B aftermarket opportunity, built a mill services catalogue that unlocked €300m of market visibility, and made service revenue predictable.

What our aftermarket mandates taught us

THE INSTALLED BASE IS THE BUSINESS. MOST OEMs TREAT IT AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT.

  • Equipment sales get the board time. The field gets a price list.
  • One benchmark found 15% aftermarket revenue uplift potential.

A SERVICE CATALOGUE IS A COMMERCIAL DOCUMENT, NOT AN OPERATIONS ONE

  • Written by delivery for delivery, sales cannot quote from it.
  • Rebuilt commercially, one unlocked €300m of market visibility.

WE WILL NOT BUILD A SERVICE STRATEGY WITHOUT INSTALLED-BASE DATA

  • Without installed-base data, a service plan is a guess.
  • It is the first thing we ask for and the first gap we name.

Eight to ten weeks

Where the weeks actually go

Bar widths are to scale. Every aftermarket mandate runs the same eight to ten weeks.

Weeks 1–2
Weeks 3–7
Weeks 8–10

Scope

Agree the installed base, the service scope and what a better answer would change commercially.

Installed base agreed

Field

Field interviews, distributor conversations and competitor benchmarking. Half the sprint is spent outside the room.

Why can sales not quote from the service catalogue we already have?

03

Which service do we already deliver and never invoice?

04

Who is servicing our equipment, if we are not?

05

What would proactive account management be worth on this base?

06

Where is the aftermarket revenue uplift, and how big is it?

Why OEMs under-capture the aftermarket they already own

A three part argument built from our aftermarket mandates, a coda drawn across three of them, and one mandate worked end to end. Every figure is traced to a published case, and each piece says what it could not settle.

Proof

Numbers from aftermarket mandates. Every one is a client’s result, not our claim.

What service clients said

Which of these three is happening to you?

The installed base nobody owns commercially, the catalogue sales cannot quote from, or the service plan built without the data. Eight to ten weeks, one senior analyst and two juniors, and the model is yours at the end.
