Parts Management Agreements

For most, efficiency is realized by any measure that reduces downtime, minimizes inventory costs, simplifies budgeting, and creates more flexibility across the organization’s inventory management strategies. A Parts Management Agreement (PMA)* with Agilix Solutions allows our customers to capitalize on all four of those efficiencies and more.

PMAs from Agilix Solutions are designed to ensure you have timely access to critical spare parts without needing to expend capital. Through our PMA offering, Agilix Solutions provides customers with a flexible, easy-to-use, vendor-managed inventory program that ensures your team has access to critical spares on site, when and where you need them. We own and manage your inventory as part of a fee-based program, so you don’t purchase the part until you need it.

Parts Management Agreements Are the Smartest Way to Manage Inventory

There are significant risks and liabilities associated with managing your own spare parts inventory. A PMA eliminates the biggest ones, because:

• You don’t own any of the parts in your inventory and there is no required number of turns.
• Your 1-year warranty starts the day the box is opened, not the day it’s purchased.
• Spare parts for equipment that become obsolete from your installed base don’t need to be written off. PMA stock can be returned and next-generation parts can easily be added to the agreement.

Improve Efficiency Across the Board with a PMA from Agilix Solutions

This is asset control at its best. With a PMA, there’s no more balancing act between having the inventory you need and being stuck with parts you’ve purchased and will never use. With a PMA, you will:

• Avoid unnecessary buildup over time and meet your service facility requirements without increasing your assets.
• Improve cash management, by minimizing your inventory-carry expenses and paying for your inventory in smaller increments over time.
• Avoid being stuck holding the bag for parts to equipment that is no longer part of your installed base.

If efficiency matters to your operation, a Parts Management Agreement from Agilix Solutions can put you back in control. Start the journey toward smarter inventory management by contacting your Agilix Solutions Account Manager or reaching out to your nearest branch today!
