AGCO (NYSE: AGCO), a worldwide manufacturer and distributor of
agricultural equipment, today announced its AGCO Parts Books to Go™
mobile application program has significantly expanded AGCO’s parts
mobile app functionality. A year ago, the AGCO Parts Books to Go™
mobile app initially successfully launched on the Apple iOS platform
into 35 countries through the Apple
Store. Now even more robust, today’s mobile app launch represents
advancement in providing anytime, anywhere access to replacement service
parts information on AGCO products.
Already established in the mobile space, the AGCO Parts Books to Go™
is now available in both the Android and Apple iOS platforms, with the
new Android version of the app available on the Google
Play Store. Its functionality includes similar Interactive Parts
Catalog functionality like the Apple iOS app while maintaining the
natural Android user experience. Interactive drawings with capability
for zooming, panning, and call-outs; parts lists; Google-like searches;
cart functionality; off-line capability and multi-language support are
part of this newly delivered Android app. The Apple and Android versions
are now available for customers and AGCO dealers/distributors.
AGCO is committed to supporting parts service for the duration of the
service life of AGCO machines. Besides the Challenger, Fendt, Massey
Ferguson and Valtra brands, content on the Apple and Android app is now
expanded to include parts book information for many of AGCO’s other
brands— like Gleaner®, Fella®, Laverda®, Hesston®, Ag-Chem®,
Spra-Coupe® and more. Language support has also expanded. Initially
released in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Finnish and
Italian, support is now extended to accommodate Chinese, Turkish,
Polish, Russian and the Scandinavian languages.
AGCO anticipates that this robust offering will bring much stronger
parts service support to help customers when replacement parts are most
needed.
"As part of AGCO's continuous efforts to improve electronic parts books
delivery for our dealers/distributors and end customers around the
world, we are excited to launch the next iteration of our advanced
mobile parts app," explained Mr. Boris Schoepplein, vice president of
Global and EAME Parts.
