Looking ahead into 2021, improving indoor air quality, sustainability and energy efficiency are going to be the key drivers of change in the HVAC
industry.
R&D heads and product managers continue to look at ways to develop products and equipment that lower heating and cooling consumption while creating a green and more environmentally friendly process. Meanwhile, their customers are also looking for seamless buying experience from the OEMs.
This includes how OEMs:
- Respond quickly to configure and customize solutions
- Install and commission onsite without much fuss
- Offer superior maintenance and support to extend equipment lifetime value.
Is your business ready to offer this?
How do we elevate HVAC OEM value creation?
1. Elevate Product Engineering Cycles
Reduce product development costs:
Our engineering squads help in complementing your core R&D teams to do more with less. This includes building solutions in testing, calibration, upgrade kits and application modernisation that embrace core product development.
Co-create around product add-ons and extensions:
Axcend works closely with HVAC Engineering teams to innovate around building products and systems. This includes co-creating modules, add-ons and custom solutions that speed up time to market.
Improve end to end customer experience:
Axcend has built end to end product and solution configurators that integrate selection, pricing, quoting, reporting and multi-channel sales management with ease. Along with one-click submittals, we elevate customer experience right at the engineering stage.
2. Elevate Service Model
Benchmark and improve aftermarket performance:
Axcend team can help analyze aftermarket lifetime value of your equipment, benchmark against competition and find ways to improve service revenue as a percentage of initial product price.
Increase energy efficiency:
Axcend assists in measuring energy use with expert auditing and energy technology to identify potential energy savings for your clients. Axcend helps optimize your equipment power consumption with energy operation modes that can power maintenance, spare parts and upgrades.
Increase product lifetime value:
