Spare Parts Management
Organize an effective spare parts management and save a lot of time searching for a spare part or assemblies.
PIM as software for managing spare parts
The management, processing and provision of information about spare parts is time-consuming. Complex relationships between your products must be stored. Data must be qualitative and always up-to-date and increase your sales. These tasks can be performed by a Product Information Management (PIM). A PIM solution helps you to centralize, to optimize and to distribute all spare part-related, technical and/or sales-relevant data and properties about all your products and spare parts over all suitable channels.
What problems are there in spare parts management?
The internationally active companies often forget the after-market. Customs clearance and translations into different languages place high demands on the quality of the master data. The constantly increasing variety of products requires additional effort to ensure the supply of spare parts over many product generations. Such tasks are hardly manageable manually.
Spare parts data are exposed to the following challenges:
The product data can be taken from different sources, these are not always up-to-date.
The spare part data available is incomplete and needs to be improved.
Data about spare parts is scattered, the maintenance of this data in different places leads to errors and is time-consuming.
Searching for the right information is not always successful and takes too much time.
Providing spare parts data internally and externally can be really tedious.
Updating the information takes significantly more time than expected.
The complexity of the relationships between different products and spare parts is often underestimated.
Excel solutions allow no automation and freedom from errors.
Shorter response times and high delivery reliability are expected.
