‘Life-cycle support’ for GFMS’s customers

‘Life-cycle support’ for GFMS’s customersTo ensure that its customers can get the best performance from their investment in GF Machining Solutions’ machine tools and automation systems, the company has created ‘Gold, Silver and Bronze Success Packs’.

These three annual subscription service packages are designed to provide ‘tailored and continuous lifecycle support’ that ensures customers get quick service interventions that help keep machine tool or automation system downtime to a minimum. They use the capabilities of GFMS’s My rConnect web-based platform that allows customers access to a wide range of the company’s digital services.

In addition to its 1hr call-back guarantee and fast-track scheduling of on-site service visits, the Bronze Success Pack provides customers with extended remote support (24/5) and access to a team of over 50 diagnosticians that can provide immediate service intervention and assistance.

The company’s Silver and Gold Success Packs offer more and build on the service support offered in the Bronze Success Pack. The Silver Success Pack helps optimise a machine tool’s or automations system’s performance throughout the 12-month annual subscription period with annual preventive maintenance visits that include a comprehensive assessment of core and critical components to help detect — and as a consequence prevent — actual and potential wear issues. This pack also provides discounts on any additional parts or labour costs required to restore the machine tool or automation system’s performance. The Gold Success Pack provides premium coverage that also includes extended warranty provision, and complete cover for all repair costs for up to five years.

Martin Spencer, the managing director of Coventry-based GF Machining Solutions Ltd, said: “Customers can be confident that their machine tools and automations systems are always in tip-top condition through our Success Pack service and support provision. Our service staff can help you select the most appropriate Success Pack, based on the age of the machine tool or automation system, their usage, and type of work undertaken.”
