Equipment lifecycle

Onboarding, operating history, replacements, and renewals as one lifecycle anchored on customer-owned equipment records.

Operational authority

Overview & thesis

Lifecycle value is created when installs, PM, repairs, and replacements all write to the same durable record. Fragmented histories create silent revenue leakage and compliance exposure.

This hub links lifecycle language to concrete workflows and Dispatch guides.

Taxonomy spine

Core operational concepts

  • Asset lifecycle management (ALM)

    Asset lifecycle management is the operational practice of tracking an asset from intake/install through service, refurbishment, and retirement—so renewals, capital planning, and risk decisions cite one coherent history.

    /help-center/glossary/asset-lifecycle-management

  • Work order

    A work order is the operational unit of field service work: what needs to be done, for which customer and asset, under what constraints, with a lifecycle from creation through completion and billing signals.

  • Preventative maintenance (PM)

    Preventative maintenance is scheduled service intended to reduce failures, preserve uptime, and satisfy contractual or regulatory obligations—expressed as explicit tasks on a cadence tied to assets.

Next: tighten PM intervals and service intervals for high-risk assets

Service interval

A service interval is the time or usage-based spacing between maintenance events for an asset or asset class—what turns “maintenance exists” into a schedulable, auditable cadence.
