TOKYO, Nov. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Syncron™, a provider of cloud-based after-sales service solutions focused on empowering the world's leading manufacturers to maximize product uptime and deliver exceptional customer experiences, today announced JUKI has selected Syncron Inventory™ to optimize its global spare parts network.

JUKI, the top sewing machine manufacturer in the world sought to improve customer satisfaction and generate more value via optimized after-sales service operations. Because today's customers have an on-demand mindset where products should 'just work' and service should be instantaneous, JUKI realized that regardless if a sewing machine is used for domestic or industrial purposes, customers expect their machines to always be up and running.

Prior to working with Syncron, JUKI's spare parts inventory management process was a manual effort. JUKI will now be able to automate the complete spare parts planning process to drive immediate results. Ultimately, the company plans to achieve a delivery rate upwards of 98 percent.

"At JUKI, we always keep business activities focused on the customers' perspective," said Mr. Keiichi Uekusa, Company President, Customer Business Company at JUKI. "As we shift our business to focus on a service model that maximizes product uptime, we wanted to expand our after-sales service capabilities – ultimately shortening spare part delivery lead times and improving the customer experience. With Syncron's exclusive focus on after-sales service and strong reputation within industrial machine manufacturing, it was clear they provided the expertise and dedication necessary for us to succeed."

Mr. Uekusa continued, "We chose Syncron for its ease of use and flexibility and expected results. The Syncron team has always been very direct and prompt to respond to any questions or requests we may have. We are convinced our partnership will give us the competitive edge we need to remain the market leader in our industry."

"We are thrilled to partner with JUKI to enhance its after-sales service operations," said Katsuto Ochiai, Managing Director, Japan at Syncron. "Our companies share a vision for shifting from a reactive, break-fix service model to one focused on maximized product uptime. We look forward to collaborating with JUKI to enhance the customer experience and improve financial performance."
