Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Ulrike Judkins: I agree that the context given is very vague. I would go with "market supply."

  -> Thanks
agree  Niraja Nanjundan (X): Could also be "subsequent supply"

  -> Thanks. I like "subsequent", too. "Follow-up" sounds more like marketing-speak, though. More context would be nice.
disagree  Fernando Castaneda: Separating both roots, "anschluss" could stand for "connection". In some industrial settings, a vendor directly supplies its goods IN LINE with the production line, as in the automotive industry. I would translate it as "IN LINE SUPPLY"

  -> But what does a production line have to do with the market?

agree  Fernando Castaneda: Normally the production output of a factory is directly linked with logistics - this is, market distribution. Of course more background would help, but this is some kind of guess for a parallel application.

neutral  Niraja Nanjundan (X): Is it really that complicated? I think the client should also be consulted here, since sometimes such terms can be company specific

provider maintenance


Explanation:
I have no particular reference for this, as this is not an old usage and additionally not a coined usage AFAIK. But an interpretation of the german could polically mean " maintenence of good (service) providers"

make available or supply with the products


Explanation:
here i am not distinguishing between the 'first time supply' and 'follow-up supply' as there is no justification for doing so from the limited text available
