Overview
Consumer electronics manufacturers today face the key challenge of effectively
managing the twin objectives of costs and revenue generation through a customer
service and retention strategy.

2. support, manufacturers lose out on a captive
revenue stream due to the lack of visibility
and control. Only one in four manufacturers
receives out-of-warranty repair revenues from
ASCs for such transactions.
An integrated solution influencing
multiple impact areas
A combination of integrated customer issue-resolution
processes, advanced metrics measurement frameworks
and analytics, and focused process-driven technology
can transform operations for consumer electronics
manufacturers, leading to reduced service costs.
Process
A scientifically designed process seamlessly
integrates four different components that are
currently sub-optimally managed in silos by most
organizations:
• Product support – Includes effective multi-channel
pre-sales support, order management, and technical
product support
• Field service support – Enables field engineers to
maximize the wrench/repair time through support
for activities such as debriefing, field scheduling,
dispatch creation, and tool sourcing
• Parts fulfillment support – Enables the right part to
be moved to the right place by supporting activities
such as back-order follow up and shipment tracking,
and it handles crucial functions, such as parts
planning and forecasting
• Returns management – Enables intelligent screening
and reduction of returns using an analytics-driven
knowledge-management engine and manages the
entire reverse-logistics cycle for returned products in
a cost-effective manner
Consumer electronics manufacturers face the
following key challenges:
Service fulfillment inefficiencies that lead to
cost overruns
Inadequate coordination between customer
services, field services, parts fulfillment, and
reverse logistics functions has resulted in
up to 30% higher costs for servicing. This is
primarily due to the increased manual effort
in integrating customer information across
all touch points for the effective resolution of
customer requests.
High product returns are a drag on
profitability
Product returns account for as much as 8% of
customer sales, while organizations spend an
additional 5–6% of sales on managing returns.
Increasingly liberal return policies in today’s
competitive market further accentuate the
problem. As much as 70% of these returns
can be reported as “no trouble found,” which,
if effectively managed, can reduce costs while
improving customer satisfaction. Recovering
value from the returned products is a vital
process improvement strategy.
Customers expect engagement, not
interaction
A lack of timely and proper resolution, multiple
follow-ups, and limited visibility regarding the
status of service requests result in negative
customer experiences.
Revenue loss on out-of-warranty support
When customers directly approach authorized
service centers (ASCs) for out-of-warranty
Seamlessly integrating customer-facing processes can enable intelligent servicing
across multiple channels of customer interaction, improving not only efficiency but
also impacting customer experience positively.
