Digital Servitization is one of the significant trends affecting the manufacturing industry. Companies try to tackle challenges regarding their differentiation and profitability using digital services. One specific type of digital services are smart services, which are digital services built on data from smart products. Introducing these kinds of offerings into the portfolio of manufacturing companies is not trivial. Moreover, they require conscious action to align all relevant capabilities to realize the respective business goals. However, what capabilities are generally relevant for smart services remains opaque. We conducted a systematic literature review to identify them and extended the results through an interview study. Our analysis results in 78 capabilities clustered among 12 principles and six dimensions. These results provide significant support for the smart service transformation of manufacturing companies and for structuring the research field of smart services.
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]
