# Aftermarketray

*/Startups/Aftermarketray*

## Startup Overview

This supply chain prediction engine connects directly to live diagnostic hardware deployed in the field to anticipate equipment part failures before they happen. By reading telemetry from diagnostic tools, it maps out exact aftermarket demand spikes, allowing equipment manufacturers and parts distributors to stock the right components exactly when needed. Instead of reacting to sudden orders, suppliers pre-position inventory based on real-time machine health.

Traditional service parts management tools like Syncron, PTC Servigistics, and legacy spreadsheet models rely entirely on historical consumption data and delayed sales records. This system bypasses trailing indicators by natively integrating with the diagnostic hardware technicians use on the ground. Translating live error codes and diagnostic readouts into immediate supply chain directives spots localized demand surges days or weeks in advance.

Rather than charging flat software licensing fees, the commercial model aligns directly with supply chain performance. The system is outcome-priced, billing specifically for avoided stockouts and eliminated emergency freight costs. This structure ensures distributors only pay when the predictive engine successfully intercepts a disruption and keeps high-value equipment running.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 90-day regional pilot ingesting live telemetry from 1,000 diagnostic endpoints to prove the successful filtration of raw OBD codes into actionable procurement alerts.
- 6-month enterprise fleet integration testing direct ERP write-access to successfully trigger automated purchase orders based on 90 percent failure probability thresholds.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 35% reduction in expedited emergency freight costs.
- Aim: 90% prediction accuracy on high-wear component failures up to 72 hours before a breakdown.
- Target: 25% improvement in first-time fix rates for field technicians.
- Aim: 10-day fulfillment window met for closed repair orders driven by automated restock alerts.
**Target Case Studies**:
- Regional Heavy Equipment Dealership: Transitioning from reactive emergency part orders to predictive 72-hour pre-stocking for high-wear components.
- National Commercial Fleet Operator: Connecting live vehicle CAN bus data directly to warehouse management systems to automate purchase orders before breakdowns occur.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- VP of Parts Inventory: Expressing relief that the system filters out routine maintenance noise and only flags imminent high-value part failures without autonomously over-ordering.
- Service Operations Manager: Highlighting how just-in-time part availability directly improved first-time fix rates for their technicians.
- Fleet Maintenance Director: Praising the clear measurement of avoided stockouts and the financial accountability of the 48-hour failure prediction guarantee.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Diagnostic hardware manufacturers refuse API access or build their own closed-loop inventory tools, cutting off the core data source. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Customers dispute the outcome-based pricing model because proving a specific stockout was avoided is difficult to quantify against their baseline. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Incumbents like Syncron or PTC Servigistics leverage their existing ERP footprints to copy the diagnostic data integration before the startup scales. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Legacy spreadsheet users resist adoption due to the technical complexity of connecting live hardware telemetry to their procurement systems. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
