SCM Group partners with MARKT-PILOT to boost competitiveness and customer value through data-driven spare parts pricing strategy and market intelligence.
Stuttgart/Rimini, July 9, 2025 – SCM, a global leader in machines, systems and services for the woodworking industry, has launched a strategic partnership with MARKT-PILOT, the provider of real-time market intelligence for the manufacturing industry. The collaboration, launched in January 2025, enables SCM to optimize its spare parts strategy by using real market data to drive pricing and customer experience initiatives.
The goal of this collaboration is to strengthen customer loyalty and further enhance SCM’s competitiveness. By leveraging MARKT-PILOT’s AI-powered technology, SCM can continuously monitor market prices for spare parts, ensuring a targeted selection that is not only high-quality but also competitively priced. This level of price transparency is reflected directly in the SCM E-Shop, where customers benefit from further optimized pricing, reinforcing long-term trust and loyalty.
“Through this collaboration with MARKT-PILOT we can make strategic pricing decisions based on real demand, not assumptions, and pass that value on to our customers.”
Beyond pricing, SCM is using the market data to support broader strategic initiatives — including smarter procurement, better inventory management, and improved responsiveness across its aftermarket operations. The collaboration has already delivered results through strategic workshops, technical onboarding, and initial optimization phases.
“SCM is using our platform exactly as it’s meant to be used: as a strategic lever. They’re building a customer experience that’s faster, more transparent, and more aligned with market expectations.”
This partnership is rooted in shared values: innovation, transparency, and a strong focus on customer success.
