After-sales service refers to all support activities a company delivers once a product has been sold: maintenance, repairs, spare parts supply, technical assistance, and warranty administration. In B2B environments it carries particular weight, as equipment downtime translates directly into production losses or contractual penalties. From a logistics standpoint, effective after-sales service depends on a reliable spare parts supply chain, clearly defined return and repair processes, and often internationally distributed service networks. Unlike after-sales logistics—which focuses on physical goods flows—the term also covers intangible services such as remote support, helpdesk assistance, or software updates.
