What does the introduction and operation of a spare parts catalog system cost?

The introduction of a spare parts catalog system can involve different costs depending on the size of the company and its specific requirements. There are important factors that influence the costs:

Existing data and data quality

A key factor in the costs is the status and scope of the existing data. If there is already a database in the existing ERP system or CAD/PLM system that can be integrated into the new catalog system, the costs can be significantly lower. However, if the data is incomplete or poorly structured, additional effort will be required for data cleansing and migration.

Integration and connection to upstream systems

A spare parts catalog system usually has to be integrated with existing IT systems such as ERP, CRM or PLM systems in order to ensure smooth operation. The development of individual interfaces and the adaptation to existing IT landscapes are often associated with high costs, especially when complex systems or specialized requirements are involved.

Customizing and adjustments

Depending on the company's specific requirements - such as industry-specific functions or individual workflows - it may be necessary to customize the system. These customized adaptations can result in additional costs, both during implementation and for subsequent updates and maintenance work.

Employee training

For a successful introduction, it is essential to train employees in the use of the new spare parts catalog system. The amount of training required depends on the complexity of the system and the number of employees involved.

IT operations and maintenance

Once the system has been introduced, ongoing costs for IT operations, security and maintenance must also be taken into account. These include technical support as well as regular updates and bug fixes. With on-premise solutions, companies have to invest in their own infrastructure and on-site maintenance, which is usually associated with higher initial and ongoing costs.

Choice of model: Subscription vs. on-premise

Another decisive factor regarding costs is the choice of deployment model. Cloud-based subscription models offer regular, predictable costs and a high degree of flexibility, as they do not require an extensive IT infrastructure and are easily scalable. This can be particularly advantageous for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as no initial investment is required. On-premise solutions, on the other hand, offer companies more control and can be favorable in the long term, but require higher initial investments for hardware, installation and maintenance.

Preise On-Premise SpareParts365

On-Premise! Our prices for license and maintenance will convince you.

On-premise solutions offer advantages for large companies in terms of security, customizability, long-term cost efficiency and compliance. If a company has the resources and requirements, an on-premise variant can therefore be the more flexible and stable choice.

The costs for an on-premise solution must be calculated individually, as they depend on several specific factors such as the size of the company, the desired number of users, the existing IT infrastructure and the integration effort with existing systems. Data security requirements, customization and special functions can also influence the costs. The unique requirements and needs of your company have a direct impact on the installation and maintenance costs. Through a precise needs analysis and calculation, we develop a customized solution that optimally meets your individual requirements.
