Building Strong Relationships

The Key to Differentiating Machine Solution Providers

​​
​In the ever-evolving world of machine solutions, the key to standing out from the competition lies not just in the machines you offer, but in the relationships you build with your customers. As a machine builder, it's crucial to develop complex machines and automation systems that can help end users scale operations faster. 

However, it's equally important to be a trusted partner who can work alongside your customers, from machine design to proof of concept, commissioning, and long-term service and maintenance.

The Role of a Solutions Partner

A solutions partner can be your competitive edge, helping you address challenges such as lagging sales, competition undercutting your prices, or the need to design an entry-level machine. They can provide R&D services, co-develop custom software solutions, and prototype concepts to help you decide whether to design a new system or evolve the current one.

The Importance of Touchpoints

The right solutions provider will have a range of touchpoints, including distributors, application design engineers, field engineers, product application engineers, and technicians. These resources should be an important consideration when selecting a solutions partner, as they can assist you from concept and design, to architecture review, proof of concept, application software training, code conversion, execution, and the post-sales phase with services and product technical support.

Differentiating Your Machines

A proficient machine tool provider boasts a team of skilled application design engineers. These professionals can serve as co-developers throughout your product's life cycle, working in tandem with your team to expedite the development process. They also function as knowledgeable peers to your engineers, offering valuable insights and expertise in specific industry segments and product capabilities. By collaborating with such a provider, you can tap into their expertise to bring your products to market more swiftly and efficiently.

The Value of Consultative Problem Solving

​The true value of your partnership with your solution provider’s engineers often emerges during consultative problem solving. For example, you may be looking to solve a particularly vexing quality issue. Your trusted partner can suggest a solution that not only fixes the problem, but also saves time or increases throughput.

The Importance of People and Culture

The right machine-building partner can provide you with the leading hardware, software solutions, and support services. But they should also want to work alongside you through the entire machine life cycle. People and culture are big differentiators to provide you the best possible customer experience and peace of mind. The right partner focuses on your success – your challenges are their challenges.
