Business analysis of new digital channels for Aberg Service

1. About the client

Aberg Service sp. z o.o., headquartered in Wieluń, is a member of the Wielton Group — one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of semi-trailers and trailers. Aberg is responsible for after-sales service, including spare parts sales and vehicle customization. The company operates internationally, collaborating with numerous entities within the Group.

The project was initiated as a strategic discovery and analysis phase. Aberg required a partner with deep automotive industry expertise and the ability to bridge business and technology. They chose e-point to jointly analyze the current landscape and develop a concept for a new digital revenue stream tailored to their customers' needs.

2. The Challenge

As part of the international Wielton Group, Aberg recognized the potential for further growth and the digitalization of its customer service processes. The new group-wide solution was intended to become a strategic platform—not only meeting rising customer expectations but also preparing the company for continued expansion and future digital transformation. The key challenges identified included:

Striving for higher operational efficiency

The Aberg team identified an opportunity to streamline order processing. The objective is to automate specific processes, allowing sales representatives to focus on higher-value tasks.

Developing a cohesive business vision

Various stakeholders within the Wielton Group offer different, valuable perspectives on the future solution. The challenge lay in bridging these expectations, establishing a common approach, and aligning the strategic direction.

The need for market verification

It was crucial to gather hard data and analysis to assess the potential of the new channel and facilitate informed investment decisions.

Leveraging the Group's collaborative potential

The objective was to engage subsidiaries in a joint initiative. The new solution would integrate the diverse business models of these subsidiaries within a federated platform. This approach would allow the organization to fully leverage the potential of cooperation and ensure consistent, diversified growth across all international markets.

Generational shifts in B2B commerce

As part of a generational shift, purchasing habits and customer experience expectations are evolving. This includes the transfer of B2C-driven habits of younger generations into their professional roles and tasks within B2B channels.

"Thanks to our collaboration with e-point, we moved from asking 'what to do' to focusing on how to execute it and how to prepare. We realized how critical strategy and the proper alignment of internal processes and resources are—both during the implementation phase and for future operations."

e-point’s objective was to identify key areas and risks to be addressed when building new digital channels.

Only through thorough, joint validation of each stage is it possible to create a cohesive, digital, and self-service purchasing experience that functions across multiple subsidiaries, markets, and business models. These concepts went beyond a standard sales channel and established the foundation for scalable service and customer localization throughout the entire Group. Such an approach offered the opportunity to build a competitive advantage and expand into new markets.

For Aberg, it was crucial to verify whether the new digital channel would address their most pressing business challenges. The company sought to define what the ideal solution should look like from a business, functional, and technological perspective. Additionally, it was essential to determine the costs and milestones required to prepare for a successful implementation.

"We felt that our processes were becoming overly complex and could no longer keep up with customer expectations. We needed a fresh perspective to help us chart the right course."

3. Scope

Preparatory analysis: A business & technology discovery project.

We focused on analytical activities, workshops, and research that allowed us to develop the solution concept step by step. Thanks to the client's trust, we were able not only to create wireframes for the defined user paths but, most importantly, to conduct interviews with Aberg's customers. Feedback from Aberg’s business partners provided invaluable verification of our assumptions, which will significantly optimize development costs in the future.

Key milestones:

On-site workshops

Working closely with the client, we defined business goals and hypotheses. We examined both customer and seller perspectives, built a Business Model Canvas, and mapped out user journeys.

Online meetings

We expanded on the findings and further refined the requirements.

Prototyping

We developed wireframes for the critical path: from part search to purchase finalization.

User research

We tested the prototype with the platform's potential customers.

Concept refinement

We implemented adjustments based on the research findings.

Delivery of the final report

We prepared a business and technical analysis, a proposed architecture, a functional concept, and a competitive analysis. We then presented the results to the client.

The project involved a team of e-point experts (business analysts, architects, UX/UI designers, researchers, and strategic advisors) alongside representatives from the Wielton Group. We applied a workshop-based, iterative work model, combining elements of Lean Startup, Agile, and classic systems analysis.

The new solution is designed to streamline after-sales service and enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty, perfectly aligning with the Wielton Group's overall digitalization strategy.

Additionally, we provided a recommendation to expand the project with AI-powered tools. At e-point, we develop AI-based solutions, including customer support assistants featuring visual part identification. This solution would simplify part searching, ordering, and fleet management for customers, while significantly improving internal processes for Aberg.

The entire project is not only a response to the company's business needs but also addresses customer expectations and leverages market innovations. It enables the Client to launch a group-wide digital transformation today, which will translate into enhanced customer experiences, a competitive advantage rooted in a federated model, and improved financial performance in the future.
