Unified Customer Data Gateway for Equipment Maintenance and Support

The client manages customer and equipment data across multiple disconnected systems, including CRM, document management, and online parts portals. Service requests are manually handled via phone, email, and tickets, leading to lengthy processes and difficulty in quick access to equipment documentation, training materials, and parts information. These inefficiencies hinder prompt onsite maintenance and reduce overall service quality.

A large-scale industrial equipment manufacturer seeking to streamline aftersales services, enhance equipment documentation access, and improve onsite maintenance efficiency through integrated digital solutions.

• Develop a unified digital platform to integrate multiple customer and equipment data sources for faster, on-the-spot support.
• Improve access to equipment documentation, training materials, and parts through role-based permissions and a centralized portal.
• Streamline maintenance workflows, enabling engineers to quickly identify, order parts, and resolve issues onsite.
• Introduce QR code-based quick access features for onsite technicians to retrieve asset details instantly.
• Enhance user management with secure role-based access control, ensuring business continuity even with personnel changes.
• Reduce service request resolution times and improve equipment uptime metrics.

• User Management Module: Role-based access controls, user creation, permission assignment, and user activity tracking.
• Asset Data Integration: Synchronization with CRM, document management, and parts portals via REST API to provide real-time equipment data.
• Equipment Documentation Module: Centralized access to manuals, videos, training materials, and FAQs, with real-time updates.
