Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about our solutions? We've got answers.

What is service parts planning in the aftermarket?

Service parts planning is the process of planning, stocking, and distributing service parts across a network of warehouses and service locations. It ensures the right parts are available where and when they are needed to support repairs and service outcomes.

Why is service parts planning important for OEMs?

Effective parts planning helps equipment manufacturers balance parts availability with carrying costs. It improves service performance, reduces delays, and supports more consistent aftermarket revenue. OEMs ensure better customer outcomes and dealer/distributor relationships when they can optimize for service parts availability while minimizing excess stock.

Why is service parts planning important for equipment dealers and distributors?

Large dealers and distributors use parts planning software to balance parts availability with carrying costs. Multi-location and multi-brand dealers manage additional complexity when ensuring parts availability for multiple OEMs and diverse customer bases. Optimizing for availability and demand drives sales while lowering carrying costs, and leads to improved customer and OEM satisfaction.

How does poor inventory planning impact service performance?

When parts are not available at the right location, repairs are delayed and service levels drop. This leads to lower customer satisfaction and missed revenue opportunities.

What is demand-driven inventory planning?

Demand-driven planning uses data and forecasts to align inventory with actual service needs. It helps ensure critical parts are stocked where demand is most likely to occur.
