Key Features of Aftersales Module
Boost Engineering and Manufacturing Operations
Eliminates redundant data entry by automating the exchange of information and files between CAD, Microsoft Office, Bluestar PLM, and Microsoft Dynamics ERP systems.
Searching Parts in Database
Enables search for sold parts using customer name, serial numbers, sales order ID, project number, or item’s unique object ID, aiding in cost and margin analysis.
Record of Teardown and Inspection
Teardown and inspection process encompasses item analysis, resource and time management, project tracking, production order flexibility, and tailoring to individual customer needs.
Unique Object ID Number
Each repaired item on the service BOM receives a unique ID, linking to the sold item for full historical data in Bluestar PLM and D365.
Service BOM, Operation & Correction Class
The service BOM provides a customizable collection of operations, classifications and work scopes, enabling efficient review and reuse of repair drawings that depict the same repair scope.
Revision Control
Service BOMs are revision-controlled, retaining all historical data, allowing for upgrades and the ability to reuse previous versions or as-built conditions.
Report
Service BOM data uniquely creates a comprehensive report, eliminating redundancy and minimizing errors; revisions for multiple customers ensure historical data maintenance for each, enhancing efficiency.
CAD
Create or update repair drawings in CAD, forming unique repair assemblies with distinct IDs, enabling necessary upgrades to the construction.
Upgrade from Revision
If the item was selected to be upgraded from a newer revision, CAD would take that newer revision and all the drawing references and do a copy into the unique drawing.
