Happy Holidays from all of us at Gogh Solutions!
As we near the end of the year, now is the ideal moment to look back on our progress and the developments that have influenced the service management sector, IFS, and Gogh Solutions in 2024. This has been a period marked by creativity, expansion, and teamwork – one that has laid the groundwork for an exhilarating future in 2025 and beyond.
As we step into 2025, we’re excited to build on the momentum of 2024. The year ahead promises fresh opportunities to connect, innovate, and deliver value to our customers. With plans for new content, collaborative initiatives, and deeper insights into the industries we serve, we’re committed to being your trusted partner in navigating the ever-changing service landscape.
Evolving Service Management: Keeping Pace with Innovation
Throughout this year, we have witnessed significant changes in the service management landscape. The emergence of forth generation real-time scheduling tools, predictive analytics, and automation has presented organizations with the opportunity to provide more efficient, timely, and customer-centric services while improving margins.
A significant shift in 2024 has been the growing role of AI in everyday operations. From intelligent scheduling that matches the right technician to the right job, to tools that offer actionable insights, AI has evolved from a futuristic concept into practical applications for solving today’s business challenges. This evolution is helping companies improve efficiency, reduce costs, and build stronger customer relationships.
A McKinsey survey indicates that 65% of responding organizations regularly use generative AI (gen AI), nearly double the percentage from the previous year.
We’ve also seen a growing emphasis on sustainability—organizations are finding new ways to reduce waste, optimize resources, and enhance customer satisfaction. It’s no longer just about meeting service expectations; it’s about exceeding them and building stronger, more loyal customer relationships.
