STOCKHOLM, Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Syncron, the leading provider of aftermarket service lifecycle management (SLM) solutions, announced today that it has been positioned as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Supply Chain Planning for Spare Parts/MRO Industries 2024 Vendor Assessment (#US51541424, December 2024).

Syncron was recognized for several strengths including its parts planning solutions with dynamic replenishment, probabilistic planning/forecasting, and end-to-end inventory optimization. The report states, "Syncron has a deep history in MRO/spare parts and has focused on this space. Its planning solutions reflect that accordingly." It also asserts, "Syncron's approach to integrate end-to-end planning is a holistic one. Use of AI 'agents' to monitor inventory and demand/supply networks presents an intriguing solution clients may consider for keeping inventory optimized and productive.

Unlike most supply chain planning players who accommodate spare parts/MRO capabilities, Syncron is focused exclusively on the aftermarket and combines breadth of functionality with depth of expertise around aftermarket operations and profitability. This specialization sets Syncron apart as a leader in helping customers navigate the complexities of aftermarket service and MRO planning.

"The aftermarket is increasingly emerging as a strategic priority and revenue growth driver in industries such as automotive, industrial, agriculture, construction, and mining, where sustainability and cost sensitivity are driving expectations for longer equipment lifespans—all of which require more spare parts, repairs, and services," said Claire Rychlewski, Chief Revenue Officer, Syncron. "We are pleased to be named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape report. We believe our position is a testament to our commitment to helping customers grow their aftermarket businesses and reflects our continued investment in our service lifecycle management platform."

Notable customers include Nissan, Caterpillar, Electrolux Professional, AGCO, and Daikin Industries Ltd., further demonstrating the platform's versatility and effectiveness across a range of industries.
