AGCO Dealership Launches Same-Day Parts Delivery Service
AGCO announced the launch of AgRevolution’s same-day delivery service for machinery parts.
Customers in the western Kentucky, southern Indiana and southern Illinois service area can place orders online or by calling their nearest AgRevolution location. In-stock parts will be delivered directly to the farm within two to six hours, depending on part size. Same-day delivery is possible because of AgRevolution’s fleet of 30 mobile service trucks that provide on-farm maintenance and repairs, according to the company.
“Implementing same-day parts delivery enables us to minimize downtime for farmers who handle their own repairs as well as customers who call our expert technicians for support,” said Stacy Anthony, CEO, AgRevolution.
A growing number of AGCO dealerships in North and South America are deploying aspects of the FarmerCore program, including expanded mobile service fleets, alternative format outlets (e.g., parts-only stores) and digital tools to enhance customer support.
