5 Steps to Use AMT Research Services to Achieve Your Company Objectives

Aug 13, 2025

Companies in the manufacturing technology ecosystem use AMT’s custom market research to reduce risk, allocate resources, and accelerate growth. Our experience working with hundreds of industry leaders and companies means we’ve seen, assessed, and solved countless problems you may not have anticipated. Leverage that knowledge to your advantage.

Here are five steps to succeed with AMT Research Services.

Step 1: Define Your Business Challenge

What’s blocking growth or efficiency in your organization?

  • Underperforming regions

  • Stagnant sales in key products

  • Gaps in competitive intel

  • Unclear market demand

Identifying the core challenge ensures that every research initiative starts with a clear purpose and measurable outcomes.

Step 2: Engage AMT Research Services

Submit a research request to us and brief us on your goals. Your team gets a direct line to manufacturing technology industry researchers who know your world—its trends, its cycles, and its opportunities. You can start by submitting a research request.

Step 3: Align on Objectives; Define Your Needs & Goals

Once engaged, we meet with you to understand your goals, constraints, and opportunities. Whether your priority is overcoming workforce limitations, refining product strategy, or pursuing geographic expansion, this alignment step ensures we tailor research to your unique situation.

Step 4: Receive Actionable Market Intelligence

This is where insight turns into advantage. Your custom AMT report will uncover:

  • Where demand is growing or shrinking

  • How opportunities and trends are developing

  • If your offering can address existing market gaps

  • Market shifts that may impact your long-term strategy

Step 5: Refine Your Business Strategy

Sometimes, making the smarter strategic move means revamping your business; other times, it means holding your position until the market shifts. Your AMT research project will equip you to:

  • Assess your existing business strategy for quality, comprehensiveness, and applicability

  • Determine the most effective steps toward your goal

  • Adjust product or sales strategy

  • Prioritize high-opportunity markets

  • Optimize resources or restructure sales territories

They provided information far above and beyond anything I ever dreamed they would provide.” — Larry Robbins, President and CEO, SMW Autoblok

From identifying untapped market opportunities to avoiding costly missteps, AMT Research Services gives manufacturing technology companies the clarity they need to make confident, data-driven decisions.
