Mali after-sales: response time, parts lead time and billing

After-sales in Mali comes down to response time, parts lead time and out-of-warranty billing; with the rainy season runs from May to October, downtime cost grows with every day of waiting.

Key points

After-sales in Mali is anchored at Dakar and the inland cities beyond it; warranty scope, response time and parts lead time decide what a day of downtime really costs.
Then fix the response time: local service points often promise 24 hours on site, but rainy seasons and remote mining areas stretch it.
Assess parts lead time by category: filters and seals can be stocked locally, while main pumps and control units usually fly in, measured in weeks.
