Industrial Equipment

Connect configuration, quoting, inventory, service, and delivery.

Industrial equipment manufacturers need configuration rules, technical approvals, pricing, materials, capacity, order status, installation, parts, and service records to follow one controlled customer commitment.

What We Fix

Where Industrial Equipment operations usually break down.

These are the points where useful industry systems often stop supporting the work around them. We trace the record, owner, decision, and downstream consequence before recommending a technology response.

Operating pressure

Configure-to-order runs through people, not systems

When quoting requires a back-and-forth between sales, engineering, and production, every custom order costs more to process than it should. The customer waits. The margin shrinks. Engineering capacity gets consumed by routine variants.

Operating pressure

Dealer portals that don't reflect real inventory

Dealers calling in to check stock availability, ask about lead times, and place orders is a distribution model that caps growth. It also creates a gap between what dealers think is available and what actually is.

Operating pressure

Field service running on institutional knowledge

When parts availability, service scheduling, and technician coordination live in people's heads, field service delays become customer escalations. Every dispatch is a negotiation between what's needed and what's actually on hand.

What Gets Better

The outcomes Metrotechs designs around.

The goal is not more software. It is clearer work, dependable records, accountable exceptions, and technology the business can operate and improve.

01

Configure-to-order becomes configure-to-profit

When CPQ rules handle approved standard variants, engineering can focus on genuinely custom requirements while the quote preserves the configuration, assumptions, approvals, and resulting order details.

02

Dealers self-serve instead of calling in

A dealer portal connected to live inventory and pricing means fewer inbound calls, faster order placement, and a distribution network that scales without proportionally growing headcount. Dealers who can see stock and lead times in real time order more confidently.

03

Field service stops being reactive

When parts availability and scheduling are visible, service calls get dispatched with the right parts the first time. Delivery date predictions based on real data replace estimates based on experience. Customer satisfaction improves alongside margin.

04

Engineering works on what only engineering can do

When routing, pricing, and order processing for standard configurations are automated, the engineers who used to support those interactions are freed for higher-value work. Product development velocity tends to increase noticeably within the first year.

Manufacturing Sub-Industry

Industrial Equipment manufacturers with system complexity hiding in daily work.

Metrotechs is a fit when the real problem is not one application. It is the handoff between records, approvals, production, fulfillment, finance, reporting, and customer commitments.

01

Industrial equipment manufacturers and OEMs

This operating context can shape the records, controls, integrations, and change sequence the business needs.

02

Companies with configure-to-order or engineer-to-order product lines

This operating context can shape the records, controls, integrations, and change sequence the business needs.

03

Organizations selling through dealer and distributor networks

This operating context can shape the records, controls, integrations, and change sequence the business needs.

04

Businesses where engineering capacity is consumed by routine quoting

This operating context can shape the records, controls, integrations, and change sequence the business needs.

How We Approach The Work

Understand the current operation before changing the systems.

We begin with operating evidence, define the result and constraints, then sequence the smallest sound response. Launchpad is available when the work needs a governed Roadmap across multiple priorities.

01

Assess order cost and configuration complexity

We analyze your current ETO cost per order, BOM structure, pricing data quality, and the degree to which your quote process depends on engineering involvement. We quantify the opportunity before recommending a path.

  • ETO cost analysis
  • BOM readiness evaluation
  • CPQ opportunity sizing
02

Design the CPQ and portal model

We define how the configurator logic, pricing rules, and dealer-facing data will work inside your ERP before any implementation begins. The design specifies what automates and what stays in human hands.

  • CPQ data model design
  • Dealer portal architecture
  • ERP integration mapping
03

Govern delivery against the design

We manage implementation against the agreed model, validating each phase against the cost-reduction and adoption benchmarks defined in the assessment. Configuration drift is caught and corrected before it becomes rework.

  • Phased delivery governance
  • CPQ accuracy validation
  • Dealer adoption support
What We Review First

Start with the records and decisions carrying the most risk.

These areas help determine whether the right response is process clarification, data cleanup, integration, reporting, workflow improvement, a platform change, or a broader transformation Roadmap.

Readiness Area

ETO Cost Analysis

Traces the time, rework, approvals, engineering effort, and handoffs involved in an engineer-to-order engagement so the business can establish its own current-state cost and improvement priorities.

Readiness Area

CPQ Readiness Assessment

Evaluates whether your BOM structure, pricing logic, and engineering data are ready to support a CPQ implementation. Identifies the data quality gaps that cause most CPQ projects to underdeliver.

Readiness Area

Field Service Gap Analysis

Reviews parts availability, service scheduling, and field technician coordination workflows to identify where delays originate and what the cost of each escalation is to the business.

Choose A Practical Starting Point

Start with the operating constraint, then sequence the system work.

Bring us the part of the operation that is slowing down, producing unreliable information, or making a customer commitment harder to keep. We will follow the issue across the business before defining the work.
