Kundenschmerz points and controls
Typical business problems
- Offer quantity treated as a device list
- Tickets and SLA without a device list
- Maintenance and hardware sale under one revenue label
Typical controls
- Serial and install-base contracts
- Warranty/RMA on the serial
- Refresh allowlist instead of pipeline hope
How we remove it
- Clarify serial number as join ID before the asset dashboard; CMDB data provides context but does not replace a business decision.
- Ticket + serial + SLA as a pilot; Customer 360 is not a device list
- One-time sale vs maintenance vs MSP as separate claims; rebate is not booking
