Create a Seamless Lifecycle from Sales to Service
For industrial machinery companies, the customer relationship doesn’t end with the sale—it’s just the beginning. However, when your sales (CRM), production (ERP), and field service (FSM) systems are disconnected, it creates a fractured customer experience and massive internal inefficiencies. Nickel Idealtek specializes in integrating these core platforms to provide a unified, 360-degree view of your entire customer lifecycle.

The Problem: A Disconnected View of the Customer
When your core software platforms don’t communicate, your teams are working in the dark, leading to process gaps that frustrate customers and hurt your bottom line.
- Service Teams Lack Critical Information: Your field technicians arrive at a job site with no visibility into the customer’s sales history, specific machine configuration, or existing service contracts, leading to inefficient service calls and a poor customer experience.
- Manual Work Order Creation: Your team wastes time manually creating service tickets and work orders in the FSM system based on information from an email or a CRM entry, introducing the risk of errors and causing significant delays in dispatching technicians.
- Inaccurate Parts & Scheduling: The service team has no real-time link to the ERP, so they can’t confirm spare part availability before a visit, leading to multiple truck rolls for a single job. Sales teams may also sell service contracts without knowing the current capacity of the field team.
- Missed Upsell Opportunities: Without a unified view, your technicians have no way of knowing if a customer’s equipment is nearing its end-of-life or if they are a good candidate for a new service-level agreement (SLA), leaving valuable revenue on the table.
The Solution: A Unified Customer Lifecycle Platform
Nickel Idealtek builds the digital connections that create a single, seamless flow of information from your sales team to your field technicians.
Our AI-Powered Solutions Enable You To:
- We Automate the Sales-to-Service Handoff: When a sale is closed in your CRM, our integration automatically creates a customer asset record in your FSM system, complete with the exact machine configuration, warranty details, and service contract information.
- We Integrate Service Needs with Inventory: When a service ticket is created, the system can instantly check real-time spare parts inventory in your ERP, reserve the necessary components, and confirm availability before a technician is even dispatched.
- We Empower Technicians with a 360-Degree View: Your field technicians can access the complete customer history on a mobile device—from the initial sale and past service tickets to active SLAs—allowing them to provide faster, more informed service and identify upsell opportunities.
