Built for the genset service business you actually run

  • Authorised dealers of large genset OEMs.You carry out the OEM’s warranty service and sell your own AMCs as well. Simply C2 records both against the genset’s serial number, so warranty jobs and paid work are always kept apart. See warranty and AMC tracking.
  • Regional genset service companies.You cover one or two states, with a few hundred to a few thousand sets on contract. Those sets might be Sudhir, Jakson, Power HF or a mix. Every set gets its own site, service history and contract.
  • Multi-brand AMC providers.Gensets from several makes, and often the transformers and switchgear on the same sites. You can run all of it in one CRM with third-party maintenance software, and you don’t need a separate tool for each OEM.
  • Teams that have outgrown Excel and WhatsApp groups.PM due dates are in a spreadsheet, complaints come in on WhatsApp, and spares are tracked in a notebook. That works at 5 technicians. At 25, calls get missed and invoices don’t go out.
How we onboard you

Live in one to two weeks, with someone beside you the whole way

Large FSM rollouts can take months, and support after that usually means raising a helpdesk ticket. For a team of 20 to 50 technicians, we work differently.

Book a setup call
  1. A call to map how you work.

    We go through your ticket types, AMC and warranty terms, territories, and who approves estimates.

  2. We migrate your data.

    We bring in your customers, sites, genset serial numbers and AMC dates from your Excel sheets or current software. You check the data, then we load it.

  3. We set it up for your process.

    PM on run-hours or on a calendar, service checklists, your spares list, and your estimate and invoice formats. It’s all configuration, with no custom code.

  4. Your implementation lead takes you through go-live.

    One named person works with you from the kickoff call until your technicians are closing tickets on the app.

Genset AMC spreadsheets and WhatsApp complaints migrated into a Simply C2 installed base of customers, GPS-pinned sites, genset serial numbers and AMC dates
Data migration

Your spreadsheets become a live installed base

Most genset businesses keep their AMC book in Excel. We turn it into a proper equipment installed base: each customer has sites, each site has gensets, and each genset has its serial number, contract dates and full service history.

On day one, your service manager can see which AMCs expire next month and which sets are due for PM. It’s the same view the enterprise customer below had across 35,000 gensets.

The proof: 35,000 gensets, 27 states, one platform

This is the largest genset deployment on Simply C2. You won’t need all of it on day one. It shows that the platform will keep up as your business grows.

Background

A pan-India genset service operation

The customer is a large diesel genset manufacturer. About 35,000 of its gensets across India are under warranty or maintenance contract, and service is one of its biggest revenue lines.

Service managers run around 650 field technicians who carry out preventive maintenance and repairs. Complaints come in around the clock through a call centre, and spares are held in a central warehouse. Customer contracts set out each customer’s entitlements and the price of each service. Dealer contracts set how dealers are paid for the work they do.

What management wanted
  • Up-to-date health of every asset.Service history, spares used, defects and repairs for each genset.
  • Replacement planning.Rank sets by performance, such as lube oil and fuel consumption, to see which are due for an overhaul or replacement.
  • Territory and route planning.Manpower utilisation by cluster, so territories can be rebalanced.
  • Lower operating cost.The full cost of each type of activity, so the team knows where to cut.
  • People planning.A profile of the skills field work needs, so HR can close the gaps.

How Simply C2 was set up for genset maintenance

We kept the core product intact and made only minimal changes. That’s why the same setup can go live quickly for a smaller team.

Installed base, warranty and AMC

Every genset under contract or warranty was tracked by serial number. Sites were mapped by GPS, because many installations are remote and have no proper postal address.

At your size: your AMC book, with every set pinned on the map.

Ticket logging and assignment

Breakdown and PM tickets came in through the call centre, the app or a customer portal. Each was assigned to the engineer for that territory, and reassigned if he was absent or overloaded. See repair tickets and scheduled maintenance.

At your size: an 11pm breakdown call reaches the right technician, not a WhatsApp group.

Spares logistics

The central warehouse procured and stocked parts. Users at every level could raise indents or hold local stock, with live visibility of stock by part number across the country. See spare parts usage tracking.

At your size: your store and each technician’s van stock.

Dashboards, alerts and billing

A dashboard set up for genset service, custom reports, alerts before contracts expire, and estimates and invoices sent through Simply C2. See customer service insights.

At your size: standard reports and the report builder cover most needs, including a monthly list of AMCs due for renewal. Custom dashboards built by our team are charged separately.

Result · Spares

Stock reconciliation went from weeks to a day

Before, matching physical stock against system stock took weeks. Now it takes a day. Management can see stock at the central warehouse, stock in transit, stock received by each technician, and parts used in repairs.

With data on fast-moving and non-moving parts, the team could set better stocking levels, cut waste and free up working capital. A dealer’s spares shelf locks up cash in the same way, only on a smaller scale.

What changed for the customer

Healthier assets, lower spares use

Management could see which gensets broke down often and pull up a set’s full service history at a glance. Planned overhauls and scheduled PM cut breakdowns, and spares consumption fell steadily.

Higher SLA compliance

Instant assignment and alerts showed technicians which tickets were most urgent. The app showed direction and distance to each site, and team and individual performance could be compared. See field service location tracking.

No revenue leakage, more AMC renewals

Each service was checked against the genset’s warranty or AMC, so no customer got free service by mistake, and everything billable was billed item by item. A monthly report of expiring contracts meant renewal proposals went out on time.

Why this matters at your scale

The same problems, on a smaller base

Unbilled visits, missed PM dates and spares nobody can account for cost a 30-technician dealer just as much, in proportion, as they cost a national OEM. The fix works the same way at both sizes.

FAQ

Is Simply C2 genset maintenance software only for large OEMs?

No. This case study shows the platform at its largest. It’s set up the same way for a genset dealer or a regional service company with 20 to 50 technicians.

How long does it take to go live?

You can set up a basic account yourself in about ten minutes. Going fully live, with your data migrated and the system set up for your process, takes one to two weeks for a team of 20 to 50 technicians. A named implementation lead works with you from the kickoff call through go-live.

Can you move our data from Excel or our current software?

Yes. Our team migrates your customers, sites, genset serial numbers and warranty or AMC dates. You review the data before it goes live. Migration and onboarding are free for paid (Premium) customers.

Can PM be scheduled on run-hours instead of a calendar?

Yes. A PM rule can run on a fixed calendar, on logged run-hours (for example every 500 hours), or be triggered after an event. See scheduled maintenance tickets.

We service gensets from several brands. Does that work?

Yes. Each genset is its own record with its own make, model, contract and history, so a multi-brand AMC book works fine. See third-party maintenance software.

How is Simply C2 priced?

The Starter plan is free for up to 10 users. Above that, the Premium plan is ₹5,000 per user per year, billed for every user, and it includes preventive maintenance and spare parts logistics, which genset service teams usually need. Data migration and onboarding are included at no extra cost; custom dashboards and custom reports built by our team are quoted separately. See license pricing, or sign up free to look around first.
