GfM-Marketingpreis 2018 – Schindler

@Handelszeitung – Special Marketing – 1. November 2018 #Innovation auf allen Etagen

Vom Hersteller zum Dienstleistungsanbieter

“Oder wie es Thomas Oetterli, CEO des Konzerns mit Sitz im luzernischen Ebikon, ausdrĂŒckt “FrĂŒher haben wir uns fĂŒr Anlagen interessiert. Jetzt haben wir es mit Menschen zu tun.” Der persönliche Kundenkontakt ist heute wichtiger den je.”

Wie sich die Elemente im GeschÀftsmodell verÀndern

im Bereich Kundenbeziehung

“… viele Kunden haben mit Schindler seit Jahren oder Jahrzehnten einen Servicevertrag. “Wir wollen in unseren Verkaufs- und Marketingprozessen eine langfristige Beziehung mit den Kunden eingehen”, so Oetterli.”

“Unsere Spezialisten, die jeden Tag draussen an der Liftanlage sind, generieren ein Vielfaches an Kundenmomenten. Diesen persönlichen Kontakt können Sie durch nichts ersetzen.”

im Bereich Partner Netzwerk und Ressourcen & KapazitÀten

“… legt Schindler viel Wert auf die Vernetzung mit Bildungsinstitutionen wie beispielsweise der ETH, nicht zuletzt auch um kĂŒnftige Brainpower zu sichern und das Employer Branding voranzutreiben.”

Ein Beispiel wie IoT die Dienstleistungserbringung unterstĂŒtzt:

“Ein Meilenstein fĂŒr die Digitalisierungsstrategie ist das 2017 im Markt eingefĂŒhrte Produkt Schindler Ahead, das die Anlagen mit einer digitalen Plattform im Internet verbindet und Anlagen, Servicetechniker und Kunden miteinander vernetzt.”

“Die AufzĂŒge, deren Komponenten mit intelligenten Sensoren ausgestattet sind, fallen weniger hĂ€ufig aus. Sie ĂŒberwachen den Zustand der Anlagen permanent und tauschen Daten mit Kontrollzentren aus, was es ermöglicht, die notwendigen Wartungen schneller auszufĂŒhren.”

“Denn der Weg zur Industrie 4.0 hat erst gerade begonnen. Firmen, die ihn nicht gehen wollen, haben schlechte Prognosen” / “… auch weil sie ĂŒber kein ServicegeschĂ€ft verfĂŒgt, das regelmĂ€ssige Einnahmen bringen wĂŒrde” / “Ihr Wert [Machine] bestehe zu 50% aus Software, …”

What is a business model?

The first article to use the term “€œbusiness models” was published in 1957, but it is since 1995 that popularity and use of the term have emerged in a multitude of arenas. Although the concept of business models is extensively discussed and has found wide acceptance by journalists, consultants, practitioners and investors, only more recently has the topic received considerable attention in academic literature as well. Practice clearly precedes academic research. One reason for this situation could be that the business model “€œdraws from and integrates various academic and functional disciplines, gaining prominence at none”€ (Chesbrough & Rosenbloom, 2002, p. 533).

New Revenue Stream For Volvo (Polstar)

“Polestar—which previously existed as a Volvo model, rather than as a distinct company—will also be an experiment in marketing cars through smartphone-based subscription plans with monthly payments but no upfront fee. Polestar vehicles will be available only through 2 or 3-year subscription plans, a method some auto analysts believe could become the norm in years ahead.” @WSJ # Volvo Unveils a Direct Challenge to Tesla
