After Sales Solutions

AFTER SALES – lifetime service in vehicle DNA

 

The After Sales division deals with matters which become relevant when a product is either to be launched onto, or is already on the market. Even during the development phase, thought must be given to the repairability, maintainability and efficiency of new products. EDAG After Sales ensures that exactly these technical requirements are taken into account during development and can therefore help to significantly reduce costs.

Despite this product influence, problems in the field cannot be ruled out, and service technicians are not always in a position to make a correct diagnosis. Technical support leads to efficient repairs, and at the same time is able to identify the main areas of error. This information is then fed back into development to improve product quality.

Just as the conclusion of a business transaction does not mean the end of the customer relationship, start of production does not mark the end of the product development process.”

Manuel Vogler, Head of Department After Sales at EDAG

 

In addition, After Sales Quality Management ensures high quality by optimizing development and production processes, qualifying suppliers and ensuring that products are carefully inspected before they appear on the market.

For products on the market, certain documents and literature are also prescribed by law. For all target groups, these are prepared by EDAG After Sales' Technical Writing team and transferred to content management systems for efficient use.

The success of any project depends on the efficient work of everyone involved: After Sales Digilab achieves this efficiency by maximizing the functionalities of existing IT systems and supplementing them with apps programmed in-house. The customer benefits from individual digital processes and a platform used across the board in daily business. User training and level support ensure that everyone involved knows how to handle the functionalities, and that any problems occurring are quickly solved.

  • Legally compliant documentation

  • Reparability and serviceability

  • Are you unsure as to whether costs incurred as a result of complaints are allocated to the source?
