Increasing the Service Level and Tackling the Experience Shortage: Combilift's Approach to AI Adoption

This report details an IDC interview with Mr. Fearghal McCorriston, the global IT manager of Combilift, the largest global manufacturer of multi-directional forklifts. He shared his valuable experience with deploying an AI-powered product recommender in a spare parts servicing environment. McCorriston reveals how Combilift was able to achieve a 30% increase in first-time fixes and a 40% reduction in costs for service jobs."Despite the ongoing digitalization of processes across lines of business, many organizations still rely on manual tasks and well-trained and experienced staff for customer-facing services. This approach can work only if experienced engineers or service personnel are in place and the complexity of the bills of materials is relatively low. However, organizations face the opposite — skilled workforce shortages, the complexities of service requests, and the customizations of final products have been on the rise for years. In this context, an AI-powered solution, such as a product recommender, could significantly improve customer-facing services involving spare parts while lowering workforce experience requirements." — IDC Senior Research Director and leader of Future of Operations European Practice Jan Burian

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
