The EU Data Act is not just regulation. It’s an opportunity to redefine your connected product strategy. Behind the legal language lies a powerful shift: data is now an asset to be shared, monetized, and built into new services. For manufacturers and service providers, this opens the door to bold moves—new partnerships, new customer experiences, new business models. At Connect Reply, we believe the future belongs to those who design with openness, intelligence, and agility. Our Data Act Compliance Toolkit is more than a roadmap to conformity—it’s a strategic enabler for the data economy. We work with companies to:  • Unlock data-sharing models that fuel innovation while respecting user rights.  • Build architectures that integrate transparency, portability, and interoperability from the ground up.  • Turn compliance into capability—through SDKs, access governance, and intelligent request management.  • Design secure, user-centric systems that create trust and open new revenue streams, from aftermarket services to data-driven product evolution. Whether it’s defining how your data flows across the value chain, enabling fair access to third-party services, or setting up data marketplaces—this is your moment to lead. As we explored in our recent article (https://lnkd.in/dzNb_79B), those who approach the Data Act with a growth mindset will shape the next era of connected experiences. Not by reacting to rules, but by embracing the architecture of trust, value creation, and ecosystem leadership. Don’t just comply—compete smarter.

Your Product’s Job Isn’t Done After the Sale. In the Connected World, That’s When It Begins. The connected revolution isn’t just about devices—it’s about relationships. And those relationships are built after the purchase. In our article “Connected Products Make You Sell More” https://lnkd.in/dkdSMaM8 , we talked about how trust is now built post-sale, not just pre-purchase. The real question is: are your operations and support systems ready for this shift? At Connect Reply, we work with manufacturers who are ready to treat post-sales as a strategic asset, not a cost center. We help them use real-time data from connected products to predict, personalize, and optimize the entire support journey. Here’s how we do it: • AI-Driven Self-Care and Agent Support Let users solve problems on their own with intelligent guidance, and give support agents the right tools and insights to handle the rest—fast and efficiently. • Gen AI Agents and Conversational Systems Move beyond basic chatbots. Our generative AI agents are trained on your manuals, troubleshooting paths, and user behaviors to provide real, contextual help 24/7. • Reputation and Store Reviews Management We monitor and engage with feedback in real time. By turning data into action, we help protect your brand equity and convert detractors into advocates. The result? Fewer service calls. Faster resolutions. Higher satisfaction. And-most importantly-a real return on your connected product investment. Because when systems are built around data + design + intelligence, support becomes more than problem-solving. It becomes a new channel for customer retention and brand differentiation.

Contextual Marketing Is Not Dead—It’s Just Been Reborn. For years, “contextual marketing” has been dominated by OTT giants like Meta and Google. Their definition of “context” rests on inferred behaviors, algorithmic patterns, and vast behavioral profiles built over time. It’s powerful—but also static. And let’s be honest: most of the time, it’s guesswork at scale. Now imagine this instead: You just started your coffee machine. You’ve docked your e-bike after a 150 km ride. You turned your home air system back on after a week away. That’s not inferred context. That’s real context. It’s happening now. And only connected products can give you that. At Connect Reply, we believe that IoT-driven connected experiences are redesigning what contextual marketing truly means—turning marketing from assumption-based targeting into real-time, value-based conversations. This is the new marketing frontier: intelligent, timely, and embedded into daily experiences. Here are just a few real-world examples of what this can look like: Smart Coffee Machines → Trigger a message offering premium beans after 20 uses, or share a how-to video for descaling just before your user hits maintenance thresholds. Connected Motorbikes → After a long Sunday ride, prompt your user with curated routes for next weekend—or even a personalized offer on tires due for a change based on usage data. Smart Energy Systems → Suggest optimized energy plans when the user’s self-consumption pattern shifts, or trigger micro-recommendations to extend battery lifespan in real-time. We call this Connected Customer Engagement, and it’s powered by real-time data, AI, and embedded intelligence. Our services include: • Data and AI-Driven Customer Engagement • Realtime Contextual Marketing for Connected Products • CDP Integrations and Advanced Analytics • In-App Customer Activation SDKs This is more than marketing—it’s a strategy to build trust, loyalty, and brand intimacy after the product has been sold.
