Case Study

Asset & Field Service Management for a Laser Equipment Assembler

Problem Statement

A leading laser machine assembler specializing in cutting and marking equipment faced challenges in managing after-sales services. Their team struggled with:

  • Tracking AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) renewals and service timelines

  • Dispatching technicians efficiently

  • Maintaining real-time visibility into asset lifecycle, warranty, and service status

  • Aligning sales, operations, and support processes under a single system

These inefficiencies impacted customer satisfaction and slowed down post-sales service and revenue cycles.

Approach

OMD developed a custom Asset & AMC Management System tailored for laser equipment servicing. The solution was designed to unify field operations, sales, and customer service into one streamlined platform.

Strategies Implemented

  • Built a centralized web-based dashboard to monitor:

    • Product registrations

    • Warranty periods

    • AMC expiry dates

  • Developed a technician dispatch system with:

    • Role-based access

    • GPS tracking for field service teams

  • Introduced a dedicated sales module where customers can:

    • Submit purchase orders (POs)

    • View new equipment listings (e.g., barcode readers, laser models)

    • Track real-time order statuses

  • Integrated a ticketing system for:

    • AMC service complaints

    • Preventive maintenance scheduling and alerts

Milestones Achieved

  • 70% increase in AMC renewals, boosting recurring revenue

  • 40% faster sales closures via automated PO generation workflows

  • 50% reduction in service response time, improving customer support performance

  • Real-time technician tracking and allocation, enhancing field service visibility

Outcome

The implementation of OMD’s Asset & AMC Management System transformed the client’s after-sales operations into a connected, transparent, and data-driven ecosystem. The business now benefits from:

  • Seamless coordination between sales, operations, and field service teams

  • Faster, more reliable technician dispatch and service response

  • Improved contract renewals and preventive maintenance tracking

  • A unified customer experience, from equipment purchase to post-sales service

This centralized system not only enhanced operational efficiency but also contributed directly to higher revenue, customer satisfaction, and service accountability.
