With Gratitude

Thank You to the Leaders Who Shaped This Day

We wanted a day built around exchange and fantastic networking between OEMs, dealers, and technology partners, not another slide-heavy conference. You showed up with curiosity, asked the relevant questions, and kept the conversations going well after the sessions ended.

Hosting this at ClearOps in Munich created a warm atmosphere for everyone who joined us. To our customers, speakers, and partners: thank you for your time, your candor, and for helping make this forum a day we will remember and build on for years to come.

KEY THEMES

The Big Ideas That Shaped the Day

Three interconnected themes defined the conversations in Munich, where After Sales excellence is heading and how to get there.

From Fragmentation to Full Network Collaboration

We explored how to break down silos between OEMs and dealers, and how full network visibility and seamless data connectivity unlock performance across the entire After Sales chain to drive OEM–dealer collaboration and After Sales revenue growth.

AI-Powered Inventory & Spare Parts Management

We heard how leading OEMs like AGCO are moving beyond reactive planning, using dealer data to enable best-in-class spare parts planning, reduce stockouts and emergency orders, and drive improved fill rates and parts revenue.

Scaling AI for Real After Sales Impact

From removing data barriers to deploying intelligent planning tools, speakers shared how AI is reshaping After Sales and service operations, what it takes to make it work at scale, and how to take the first steps toward similar results.
