After purchasing a machine or system, customers can enter specific service requests as tickets directly in the platform, locate and assign spare parts in the 3D model and order them directly, as well as use other service-relevant touchpoints along the customer journey.

In our on-site Erfa at Vollmer Werke Maschinenfabrik GmbH, you will first find out first-hand what impact digitalization can have on service and how Vollmer's processes have changed since the platform was introduced. Using the VPortal as an example, best practice examples will be presented and an insight into Vollmer's service strategies will be provided.

In addition to a factory tour through the production halls of VOLLMER, you can also expect two field reports from Index Werke GmbH and Arburg GmbH, which focus on end-to-end digital processes and the processing of service data - including with AI.

Contribute your own experiences from daily practice and share your thoughts with your colleagues from other member companies and with the speakers.

This event organized by VDMA Baden-Württemberg and VDMA Business Advisory is free of charge for member companies. The number of participants has been limited to 50 in the interest of an intensive dialog. Registrations will be considered in the order in which they are received. Please let us know if you are unable to attend despite having registered. The event will be held in German.

We would like to thank VOLLMER GmbH for their hospitality and look forward to an insightful and interactive event in Biberach.

Kind regards, Dr. Raphael Neuhaus
