Through data-based insights into customer behavior, products and service offers can be improved. For manufacturing companies, smart product-service systems (SPSS) offer the possibility to collect customer data during the usage phase of the product. As the focus on customer analytics is too often on sales and marketing, SPSS are overlooked as a source of customer data. However, manufacturing companies need to integrate data from all interactions with their customers along the complete customer journey to achieve a holistic data-based view of the customers. To identify these interactions and the customer data derived from them, the concept of a digital shadow will be applied to the customer journey. The projected results for the presented work in progress are a reference process model for the customer journey in manufacturing and a data model of the customer data created along this process.
This chapter addresses the market launch and sales of smart services. It opens with an introduction of the new challenges that the market launch of smart services creates for companies. Then follows the discussion of a four-phase approach to the market launch of smart services. Subsequently, successful practices are presented for this approach along eight design fields of the market launch. [https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-58182-4_8]
