An equipment dealer earns most of its margin after the sale: parts, service, rental and extended warranties across the customer's fleet. Customers rarely leave in one step. A contractor whose excavator waits a week for a part starts buying parts online and renting from the dealer across town, and by the time the next machine is due the relationship is gone. Those signs sit in service orders, parts requests and branch tickets. SignalHOT reads them per customer, so dealer principals, service managers and sales reps know who to call first.

Four signals, one account view
Protect: Churn Risk, Escalation · Grow: Success, GrowthA contractor drifting to another dealer
A contractor with 35 machines has had three machines wait more than a week for parts this quarter. Its last two repairs were rated 2 out of 5, and the extended warranty on six machines ends in 60 days.
Why it mattersA customer who stops buying parts from you usually buys the next machine elsewhere too.
A combine down in harvest season
A farmer's combine has been down for three days in the middle of harvest. The case is past its response target and the last update was two days ago.
Why it mattersIn seasonal work every day down is lost income for the customer, and they remember who got them running.
A fleet customer who would vouch for you
A rental company rates every repair 5 out of 5, and its service orders close quickly.
Why it mattersA satisfied fleet customer is the best lead for the next machine sale.
Parts and service without an agreement
Growth opportunity, matched to your service agreements and telematics packages.
A customer buys parts piece by piece, and its cases keep asking about scheduled maintenance and machine tracking.
Why it mattersCustomers on a service agreement buy more parts and stay longer.
