How to implement an Installed base management solution?

Installed base management is tracking and managing the physical assets, products, or systems a company has installed at a customer site. This can include anything from machinery and equipment to software and other digital products. An installed base management solution is a tool or system that helps companies effectively manage and maintain their installed base, ensuring that customers receive the best possible support and that the company can maximize its installed base’s value.

Here are the 10 steps involved in successfully implementing an installed base management solution

  1. Define your business objectives: Clearly define what you want to achieve through installed base management. This will help you determine the scope of your efforts and the resources you need to allocate.
  2. Identify your installed base: Create a complete and accurate inventory of your installed base, including information such as product or system types, serial numbers, locations, and installation dates.
  3. Set up your installed base management system: Choose a system or tool that will allow you to track and manage your installed base effectively. This could be an Installed Base Platform, CRM, BI tool, spreadsheet, or any other system that meets your needs.
  4. Collect and track data: Gather and store data on each asset or product in your installed base, including information such as warranty information, service and maintenance records, and any other relevant data.
  5. Set up processes and procedures: Establish processes and procedures for managing your installed base, including how to handle warranty claims, service requests, and other customer support issues.
  6. Integrate with other systems: If necessary, integrate your installed base management system with other systems, such as your customer relationship management (CRM) or enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
  7. Train your team: Ensure that your team is trained on how to use the installed base management system and follow established processes and procedures.
  8. Communicate with customers: Keep your customers informed about the status of their installed base and any issues that may arise. This can be done through regular communication such as emails, phone calls, or in-person visits.
  9. Monitor and track key performance indicators (KPIs): Use reports and dashboards to track key performance indicators (KPIs) and identify trends and patterns in your installed base. This will help you to make data-driven decisions about how to optimize your installed base and improve customer satisfaction.
  10. Continuously improve: Regularly review and assess your installed base management processes and procedures, and make adjustments as needed to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
