As-a-Service Models: Uncovering Unexpected Complexities

Updated: oktober 3, 2024

For industrial companies, adopting as-a-service models is increasingly essential in today’s market. However, this shift can be challenging. Transitioning from traditional, product-based models to subscription-based services often disrupts existing processes and requires deep cross-functional collaboration across the business.

We have extensive expertise in operationalizing as-a-service models and can guide companies through the key steps necessary for this transformation. While many businesses understand the value of these models, the path to execution often feels overwhelming. Once companies dig deeper into the requirements of PaaS (Products as-a-service), the complexity becomes evident—sometimes even deterring them from pursuing the opportunity.

Common Barriers to Adoption

Several obstacles tend to arise when industrial businesses explore as-a-service models:

  • Complexity of Financing: Many companies are unfamiliar with the variety of financing options available to support a subscription-based model. This knowledge gap can lead to internal resistance and slow adoption.
  • Asset Lifecycle Management: Managing equipment at the end of its lifecycle is often an overlooked but critical aspect of the as-a-service model. Companies need strategies to handle returns, refurbishment, or recycling in a cost-effective and sustainable manner.
  • Contractual Challenges: The contractual dynamics of subscription models can be complex. For instance, what happens if the product is damaged? Who bears the costs? How should services be sold, and how should the sales force be educated on new contractual terms?
