Industrial equipmentand components
A maintenance engineer with a line down reads your stock page for about twenty seconds. We are sales engineers for makers and distributors of drives, pumps, valves, conveyors and hydraulics, and we read your stock pages and quotes the way that engineer does.
Start with the free Findability Check, which reports within the hour whether the AI tools name you for drives, pumps, valves, conveyors, hydraulics and assemblies, or book the Sales Engine Audit, from £750.
What a maintenance engineer checks with a line down
A maintenance engineer with a line down checks stock availability, interchangeability with what is already installed, lead times, and whether there is a technical contact who answers the telephone. A buyer placing a planned order checks the same things with more time, and adds the price.
The question a plant asks Gemini
“Alternatives to SEW geared motors ex stock in the UK”
Asked of Gemini or ChatGPT, that returns a list of distributors, and Claude and Perplexity build theirs from the same stock pages. The distributor whose site lists stock, frame sizes and cross-references to the installed makes is the one the assistants can recommend.
Run the free Findability Check to see whether the assistants name you when a plant asks for an alternative to a make you stock. The report comes back within the hour.
Which public signals mean a plant is about to order
For an equipment supplier the signals are maintenance planner and engineer hires, capital investment at plants where your make is already installed, and OEM lead-time problems. A lead-time problem at the OEM is a reason to write to every plant that runs that make.
The sources are the job boards and the trade press. We read them every morning, score each item against your stock and your quote history, and the email goes to the maintenance engineer once you have approved it.
The quote history comes first
We start with your quote history rather than with new names. We load the quotes that were not ordered and the accounts that have gone quiet, sort them by make and part, and draft a reason to write to each one every quarter, so the spare that was quoted and not ordered is quoted again when the OEM lead time bites. This is Reactivation, and it is usually the first system for an equipment supplier because the list already exists. The stock pages come second, as a table of the make, the range and what is on the shelf, with the installed makes each line replaces.
| Make | Range | Stock |
|---|---|---|
| SEW-Eurodrive | Helical and helical-bevel geared motors to 30 kW | 140 units, Norfolk, same-day collection |
| WEG | IE3 motors, frames 63 to 250 | 300 units |
| Grundfos | CR multistage pumps and spares | Seal kits and impellers ex stock, pumps in three days |
| SKF | Bearings, 6000 and 22200 series | 2,000 lines |
Example rows; the page carries your own stock.
The people on the telephone get a half day on cross-referencing an installed make to what you stock.
What the audit reads for a stockist
The Sales Engine Audit records whether the assistants name you when a plant asks for an alternative to a make you stock, and on the Full tier maps where quoted spares go unordered. You get a written report with the fixes in priority order and a rough cost and effort against each, and a one-hour call to go through them, within a week of our having access; the full description and the three tiers are on the Find out where you stand page.
