Service-oriented

The machine central, throughout the entire lifecycle

At an equipment company, everything revolves around the machine. From procurement and configuration to sales, delivery, service, rental, trade-in, and used equipment. Every machine has its own technical, commercial, and financial history. You don't want that scattered across different systems.

With Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Aptean Equipment DMS, we bring those processes together. You know which configuration a machine has, where it is located, who the owner is, what maintenance has been performed, and what costs and revenues are associated with it. Even when a machine is traded in, overhauled, and resold years later, the history remains available.

This puts the machine at the center, with sales, workshop, parts, service, and finance all working from the same platform.

Your challenge our experience

Machine configuration

No machine is the same. Put together a machine with the right version, options, accessories, and attachments, and record the complete configuration. This gives you control over the specific machine, from cost price and selling price to the final delivery.

Service and workshop

After the sale, the machine remains at the heart of the operation. From the work order, you have direct access to machine data, maintenance history, previous malfunctions, and completed work. Technicians can easily record their hours, used parts, photos, and work, so that the machine history remains up-to-date at all times. AI technician Koos can also support the technician in diagnosing based on manuals and historical data.

Parts and inventory

The right parts must be available for sales, the workshop, and field service. With Business Central and SmartWarehouse, you digitize warehouse processes and keep control of your inventory. Used parts are directly linked to the correct work order and machine.

Sales and used equipment

From new machine to trade-in and resale. Keep a grip on configuration, cost price, selling price and margin. Even with used equipment, the existing machine history remains available, while you record inspection, overhaul and sale anew.

Rental

Do you also rent out machines in addition to selling them? With Rental365 you manage rental contracts, availability, rental periods, rates, and invoicing from the same platform. This way, you keep control of machines that are being sold, serviced, and rented out.
