Syncron Applauded by Frost & Sullivan for Enabling Pricing Intelligence and Visibility for OEMs, Dealers, and Distributor Supply Chains With Its SaaS Solutions
Syncron’s solutions improve inventory management, parts pricing, and distribution efficiency; overcome supply chain issues; and help customers optimize their operations and drive long-term growth.
Frost & Sullivan assessed the aftermarket service lifecycle management application industry and, based on its research results, recognizes Syncron with the 2022 North American Enabling Technology Leadership Award. The company offers a fully connected suite of software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions to help clients optimize their pricing, customer service and profitability. Syncron focuses on aftermarket services for a variety of manufacturing industries, with specific strength in automotive, agriculture, construction & mining, and industrial equipment. Syncron offers the following three main solutions supported on the Syncron CSX Cloud platform:
- Service Fulfillment (warranty and field service)
- Service Go-to-Market (contract price and pricing intelligence)
- Service Supply Chain (inventory and retail inventory)
Syncron designed their Service Go-to-Market and Service Supply Chain solutions to help clients navigate increasingly risky and unpredictable market conditions. The Service Go-to-Market price solution provides an automated part pricing system that maximizes revenue for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), Tier I suppliers, warehousing, and retailers. The solution uses statistical algorithms to discover market pricing dynamics, before leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), to enhance the service solution’s opportunity identification capabilities even further. Syncron Service Supply Chain solutions enable manufacturers and distributors to streamline the supply chain from top to bottom. The solutions enable visibility for clients to reduce inventory overstock, wait times, and downstream distribution issues that have a significant financial impact on their distribution channel partners.
According to Wallace Lau, Industry Principal at Frost & Sullivan, “The Syncron Price solution provides customers with an average profit increase of 5.2% across multiple manufacturing industries, with auto parts distributors being the highest. It also enables customers to achieve visibility across all their part categories and collect real-time customer feedback to meet the changing market dynamics and customer base proactively.”
