Support Agreements & Total Maintenance Contracts

ERP Asset Maintenance
closes the loop.
It doesn't.

ERP systems use asset maintenancece, order management, project systems and many other modules that were never designed to work together for mining & heavy equipment aftermarket. Total Maintenance & Repair contracts, lifecycle costing, and unplanned work within the contract still fall through the gap. ServiceCPQ was built to close it — by engineers who hit that wall at Caterpillar.

The real problem

ERP wasn't built for mining & heavy equipment aftermarket

We've spent 17 years inside SAP implementations at the world's largest mining equipment manufacturers. The failure pattern is always the same: Maintenance modules handle asset records. Customer Service and Sales Modules handle service orders. Sales & Finanace Modules handle billing. None of them speak to each other at the service contract level.

For a complex underground mining MARC (Maintenance & Repair Contract) contract, that means manual reconciliation, out-of-contract decisions made on gut feel, and lifecycle cost models living in spreadsheets.

MARC contracts vs unplanned work
ERP Asset Maintenance can't determine what's in-contract vs out-of-contract in real time. Engineers decide manually, losing revenue on both sides.
Lifecycle costing stays in spreadsheets
Rock hardness, shift patterns, ambient temperature — the variables that drive underground equipment costs are invisible to ERP's pricing engine.
Dealer networks fly blind
Distributors quoting service contracts have no access to equipment history, warranty status, or lifecycle cost data. Every quote is a guess.
CPH billing breaks at scale
Cost-per-hour contract management requires a unified model across asset, contract, and billing. ERP's fragmented architecture can't hold it together.
What ServiceCPQ does

One unified contract-to-lifecycle object model

Purpose-built for mining OEMs and their dealer networks. Every capability is designed around the workflows SAP leaves unfinished.

MARC Contract Wizard
9-step guided builder for Maintenance, Availability, Repair and Overhaul contracts. Scope, exclusions, CPH rates, escalation clauses, and penalty terms — all in one object linked to asset and billing.
Lifecycle Cost Builder
Model total cost of ownership with site-specific parameters: rock hardness, ambient temperature, shift pattern, haul cycle length. AI multipliers adjust forecasted cost per component and assembly.
Out-of-Contract Workflow
Real-time determination engine: is this repair in-scope or not? Automated decision workflow with technician-facing approvals, commercial escalation paths, and margin-protected billing triggers.
Dealer & Distributor Portal
Your dealer network quotes service contracts with full access to equipment history, warranty status, and lifecycle cost data. Configurable access controls per tier and region.
AI Parts Intelligence
NLP-driven part matching using UMAP and Euclidean distance. Identify substitutions, supersessions, and cross-reference numbers across equipment families. Reduce mis-quotes by up to 40%.
Warranty Automation
Rules-based warranty claim processing with component-level coverage tracking. Automated vendor recovery workflows. Eliminate the spreadsheet-driven reconciliation that costs OEMs millions annually.
How it works

From asset in field to contract to cash

01
Asset registration
Equipment serial, BOM, site parameters, and operating conditions loaded. Lifecycle cost baseline set at deployment, not after failure.
02
MARC contract build
9-step wizard generates the commercial contract with CPH rates, scope inclusions, performance penalties, and escalation terms. Linked directly to the asset object.
03
Live execution
Service requests auto-classified as in-contract or out-of-contract. Real-time margin visibility. Dealer and technician portals in sync with the contract.
04
Billing & renewal
CPH usage triggers automated billing. Contract performance data feeds renewal proposals. Complete audit trail for warranty recovery.
Competitive positioning

ServiceCPQ vs ERP Modules

Not a replacement for your ERP. A commercial layer that closes the gaps ERP's module architecture was never designed to bridge.

CapabilityERP ModulesServiceCPQ
Unified contract-to-asset object model Three separate modules, manual bridges Single MARC contract object linked to asset, billing, and service
Real-time in/out-of-contract determination Manual check, no automated workflow Automated rules engine with technician and commercial escalation paths
Site-parameter lifecycle costing Standard cost only, no operating variable model Rock hardness, temperature, shift pattern as cost multipliers
Dealer / distributor quoting portal~ Requires separate partner portal licence + custom build Native configurable dealer portal, tiered access
AI-powered parts matching No NLP matching capability UMAP + Euclidean distance NLP model
CPH contract billing automation~ Possible with custom SD configuration Native CPH usage trigger → billing → reconciliation
