This case study explores the remarkable transformation of a leading American agricultural equipment manufacturer's parts department. Committed to supporting farmers and rural communities nationwide, the company faced significant challenges in managing its parts inventory and ordering system.

The Challenges:

Catalog Complexity: A diverse product portfolio with numerous brands complicated catalog navigation and parts identification for both dealers and customers.

Manual Returns: Handling parts returns across various states with diverse regulations involved a time-consuming and resource-intensive manual process.

Lack of Integration: Limited integration with the company's SAP system caused discrepancies between parts ordering and dispatch.

Stagnant Sales: The absence of dynamic pricing and discount structures led to stagnant sales of replacement parts and accessories.

Limited Aftermarket Sales: The inability to electronically order accessories restricted sales opportunities within the aftermarket segment.

Backorder Issues: Lack of stock status visibility and integration with alternate parts options resulted in unnecessary backorders.
