Challenges

After the integration of the subsidiaries, they kept legacy systems to manage Customer Service operations.

Each country was having thousands of spare parts references with different identification systems.

The repair flows were quite different from countries to countries, so a customer would have a different experience depending on the local organizations

There was a strong resistance to change by local organizations
