We show you how you can use interactive spare parts catalogs to become a “Service Champion”, and how it can also benefit your service technicians, service managers, and plant operators.
The interactive spare parts catalog contains the same information as the printed version with one exception - the contents never go out of date.
3 facts about the digital spare parts catalog
The spare parts business has been constantly gaining in strategic importance in recent years for all stakeholders - be they constructors of plants, machinery, motor vehicles, or equipment.
