The most common problems with service management:
- High costs of servicing orders;
- Exceeding the deadlines and consequent contractual penalties;
- Underestimation of costs and spare parts delivery time;
- Lack of dedicated product knowledge;
- High costs of distributing paper documentation.
Have you noticed such difficulties in the functioning of your company? You can effectively solve them by implementing the Service Lifecycle Management (SLM) concept.

Service Lifecycle Management (SLM) is a set of practices, processes, and tools that facilitates information and technical documentation management for after-sales product support.
PTC’s Windchill solutions:

PTC products facilitate the management of design, production and also after-sales processes, which are becoming more important in terms of customer service. The combination of Windchill SIM/SP, CREO Illustrate and Arbortext Content Delivery enables collecting all key project and production data in one place, which significantly improves the work of service departments.
