Why RFR for Equipment?

Proprietary machinery and custom engineered systems share one problem: generic ERPs fail to track the project lifecycle. Engineering changes, milestone billing, and field service need to be tightly integrated.

RFR understands that for equipment manufacturers, the sale is just the beginning. Our deployment focuses heavily on the after-market lifecycle, so you get paid for service and spare parts effectively for years after the initial sale.

Industrial equipment
What we configure

Project costing, BOMs and service in one system

Set up for machines built to order, costed by project and serviced for years.

Configure-to-Order (CTO)

Integrated product configurator. Generate smart BOMs and routings automatically based on customer options.

Project Costing

Track labour, material, and overhead against specific project codes (WBS). Know your exact margin before shipping.

Field Service

Manage the installed base. Track serial numbers, warranty entitlements, and schedule technician dispatch.

Milestone Billing

Flexible revenue recognition. Bill customers based on % complete, project milestones, or time & materials.

CAD Integration

Bridge Engineering and Production. Import BOMs directly from CAD/PLM systems to eliminate data entry errors.

Spare Parts Management

Optimise aftermarket revenue. Ensure critical spares are in stock for service contracts and SLAs.

Aftermarket Lifecycle

The Sale Is Just the Beginning

Sage X3 tracks every machine from commissioning to refurbishment, so service and spare-parts revenue is captured for years after the initial sale.

  1. Stage 01

    Install & Commission

    Serial numbers and the installed base are registered from day one.

  2. Stage 02

    Warranty

    Entitlements are tracked against each serial number, so claims are validated before work begins.

  3. Stage 03

    Spare Parts

    Critical spares are kept in stock to honour service contracts and SLAs.

  4. Stage 04

    Field Service

    Technician dispatch is scheduled against the installed base and its service history.

  5. Stage 05

    Refurbishment

    Returned units are assessed, refurbished, and resold or issued as exchanges.

Field note, anonymised

"The product configurator RFR built for us in Sage X3 cut our quoting time from 3 days to 2 hours. We can now generate accurate BOMs and cost estimates on the spot during customer meetings. After-sales service revenue grew 40% thanks to proper spare parts tracking."
