    What is Solteq LifeBase?

    Solteq LifeBase is a fixed-scope, time-boxed initiative that helps manufacturers re-gain visibility, control and value from their installed base.

     

    It is delivered as a pilot-ready B2B self-service partner portal built on Liferay DXP. It establishes a digital foundation for aftermarket business that establishes machine visibility, raises dealer enablement, and unlocks service monetization opportunities - without starting a large-scale program.


    Who needs better installed base visibility?

    LifeBase is best suited for manufacturers who:

    • Operate in the machinery & equipment sector
    • Lack full visibility into their installed base
    • Sell through dealers or indirect channels
    • Depend on service revenue growth
    • Struggle with fragmented systems and data
    • Want to see results before committing to larger investments

    The hidden constraint on service growth: Installed base visibility

    Services business performance suffers when there is no clear view of what is happening to your products after delivery.

    In many organizations, install-base data, partner interactions, and service workflows are spread across systems and people.

    • Limited visibility after delivery
    • Data fragmented across systems, partners, and people
    • Manual work to understand machines in the field
    • Dealer channels limit access to end-customer insight
    • Warranty and service history are difficult to track

    It is designed for everyday use, giving partners a clear way to register, view, and update machine-related information.


    Core capabilities for managing installed equipment and service data

    • Live install-base registry
    • Warranty registration
    • Machine / asset 360° view
    • Structured data model
    • Processes for ongoing data capture

    LifeBase is not a full service platform. It gives you a working starting point you can build on.

     FAQ – Installed Base Management 

    What is installed base visibility?

     

    Installed base visibility means having a clear and up-to-date view of the machines or equipment you have delivered to customers.

    This includes knowing where assets are, who is using them, what claims have been filed, and what service performed. Without this, service decisions rely on incomplete or outdated information.

     

    Why is installed base data fragmented?

     

    Installed base data is often spread across multiple systems, partners, and teams.

    Information may sit in ERP systems, service tools, spreadsheets, or with dealers. Over time, this leads to gaps, inconsistencies, and manual work when trying to understand what is happening in the field.

     

    How can manufacturers improve service performance?

     

    Service performance improves when there is a reliable view of installed equipment and related data, for yourself and at the hand of your dealer and service partners.

    This makes it easier to respond faster, track service history, and work more consistently across stakeholders, and improve business data quality.

     

    How can manufacturers get started with installed base management?

     

    Many organizations delay action because the problem feels too large.

    A practical approach is to start with a limited scope: create a structured view of the installed base, enable basic data capture, and support key service processes. This allows progress without committing to a large transformation upfront.
