AI-SWLM logo

AI in the service and warranty lifecycle has shifted from future potential to real-world execution. Through the AI-SWLM Think Tank and Sponsored Showcase Series, OEMs, suppliers, and technology leaders are sharing practical case studies that reduce warranty cost leakage, improve claims accuracy, detect issues earlier, and turn fragmented data into actionable intelligence.

Xchange Groups Round 2: Continuing the Conversation

Round 2 of MAPconnected’s Xchange Groups continues the conversation across warranty, recall, financial products, TAC, parts analysis, and supplier cost sharing. These peer benchmarking sessions bring OEM leaders together to compare real-world approaches, share what’s working, and tackle challenges that are too often solved in isolation.

Financial Products Programs: Structure Is Only the Starting Point

Financial product programs are already in place across many OEMs, but understanding whether they are delivering the right outcomes is the next challenge. In the upcoming Financial Products & Insurance Xchange Group, leaders from AGCO, Mitsubishi Logisnext, Gibson, Kia, Polaris, and Cummins will benchmark attach rates, profitability, and portfolio strategy to compare how performance aligns with program structure.

Fixing the Hidden Margin Leak in Warranty Claims

Warranty leakage often isn’t caused by policy—it’s caused by execution across disconnected systems, manual reviews, and fragmented workflows. In an upcoming MAPconnected webinar discussion with Stellantis & ServiceNow, OEM leaders will examine how manufacturers are reducing claim leakage and improving margin across the warranty lifecycle.

Why Technical Support Is Becoming an Operations Discipline

Technical Assistance Centers Xchange Group

What makes a great tech line call feel effortless? At a recent MAPconnected TAC benchmarking roundtable, leaders from Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, and others examined how hybrid support models, integrated diagnostics, and stronger metrics are reshaping technical assistance centers across industries.
