Customer satisfaction, economic success and smooth operations \u2013 these are the cornerstones of the new international service strategy of premium manufacturer WMF Professional Coffee Machines. With over 800 of its own service employees across eleven countries and a further 100 service partners, WMF is in a position to supply comprehensive services to the highest levels of quality in every corner of the world.<\/p>\n
With a total of 1.2 million active coffee machines globally, today around 85,000 customers count on the services of the global network. The coffee concepts characterising WMF\u2019s international clientele are extremely individual and tailored to the consumption and drinking culture in the different countries. That said, they all have one thing in common: the demand for consistently high coffee quality and process reliability. For that reason, Christian Nolte, Vice President Global Service of the WMF Group, and his team have developed a globally standardised basic portfolio that can be perfectly adapted to local customer needs using optional elements. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing more important to us than giving our all every day so that we can learn and grow. We have therefore further developed and harmonised the already very successful WMF service model to make it more international. We want to help WMF customers across the globe to generate the greatest possible success from their coffee machines throughout the entire lifecycle of their appliances,\u201d says Nolte.<\/p>\n
The new offering focuses on the three main challenges faced by WMF customers on a daily basis: customer satisfaction, economic success and smooth operations. To continuously increase end-customer satisfaction, the team firstly concentrates on maximum machine availability combined with consistently high coffee quality. Secondly, they offer various services to support economic success: WMF monitors the machines so that they last as long as possible, thereby protecting the customer\u2019s investment. The ability of customers to plan follow-up costs is also a key factor. Depending on the business case, service models such as \u201cpay per cup\u201d or \u201cas a service\u201d come into play here. The third aspect relates to the challenges of day-to-day business, and above all issues such as personnel shortages and stringent regulations regarding hygiene and occupational health and safety. To enable customers to overcome these hurdles in daily operations, WMF offers operating and serving concepts, for example, which ensure a high degree of process reliability and flexibility. \u201cOur solutions are always developed with end-customer satisfaction in mind and with the aim of helping our customers achieve economic success and ensuring that their day-to-day operations run smoothly. With all the services we offer, our objective is therefore to support our customers in their business plans and be a strong and reliable partner,\u201d Nolte sums up.<\/p>\n

\nThe global WMF service network is made up of its own national subsidiaries and external service partners. \u201cWe work together with the best local partners and provide them with the best support that the industry can offer \u2013 whether in terms of technology, spare parts, digital tools or, of course coffee expertise,\u201d adds Nolte. With regard to digital tools, the WMF CoffeeConnect telemetry platform takes centre stage. With approximately 65,000 networked machines around the world, WMF is laying the foundations for huge productivity and efficiency gains \u2013 for example by means of detailed analyses, process optimisations or real-time monitoring. But that\u2019s not all: WMF CoffeeConnect is currently by far the biggest telemetry network in the industry \u2013 and is growing rapidly. Remote and video support also should not be overlooked as key technical aids in the service repertoire. What\u2019s more, technologies such as augmented reality are being implemented in some customer projects, where they are being tested to see how they could be applied more broadly.<\/p>\n
