Leveraging Telematics for Industrial Products

Overview The potential value of telematics for industrial goods is greater than for consumer products because of the relatively high proportion of "downstream" costs for industrial products. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and equipment companies can achieve significant benefits in revenue generation, cost savings, and increased efficiency, not to mention improved customer relationships. This paper describes the stages that Accenture has identified those industrial products companies must move through, to achieve competitive advantage through telematics.
