offering a deep dive into the operational intricacies of making the
Product-as-a-Service (PaaS) model work.
When it comes to Product as a Service, some businesses are thriving while others cannot make it beyond the pilot phase.
However, the failure of a few shouldn't outshine the success of many—this only tells you that when done right, Product as a Service has the potential to thrive.
Successful PaaS companies
The Problem.
Adopting a circular "as-a-service" model is often more challenging than many leaders expect. This is largely due to the misconception that PaaS can be managed using the same knowledge, tools, and processes as traditional sales-based models.
This misunderstanding often leads to failed pilots and unprofitable business outcomes. While the potential of PaaS is widely recognised, many struggle to identify the key steps required to implement it successfully and sustainably.
The Challenge.
The real challenge lies in shifting from a linear, sales-driven mindset to a service-first approach required for PaaS. Most businesses lack the knowledge and expertise to make this transition, as existing tools, processes, and frameworks are built around traditional consumption models. To succeed, companies must build capabilities in subscription operations, reverse logistics, and product lifecycle management while redesigning workflows for returns, repairs, and reuse. Without addressing these gaps, inefficiencies, financial losses, and missed opportunities are inevitable.
