Smart Equipment Maintenance Made
Easy.
Not only does the technical and office equipment you
rely on today do more for you, but it also requires more from your
organization.
Poulton Associates can offer you a better way to manage
your Electronic Equipment Maintenance program.
The smart alternative to traditional maintenance programs
Poulton Associates Electronic Equipment Maintenance
Insurance Program takes the complex responsibilities of equipment maintenance
and makes them simple.
We can make budgeting your maintenance predictable
by replacing the distractions of maintenance with a single, clear point
of focus.
Our Electronic Equipment Maintenance Program is
the one way to reduce your responsibilities and administrative burden
of equipment maintenance. We can help you focus on your core business,
and have a fixed guaranteed annual budget.
What Poulton Associates will do:
- Inventory and tag all scheduled equipment into master data base.
- Connect you with the proper provider for your specific line of
business.
- Provide work orders and issue purchase orders to service companies.
- Monitor repairs and provide loss control services.
- Receive all repair invoices (which are sent directly to our office
by service companies).
- Audit service company invoices and pay directly.
- Continue to monitor additions and deletions of equipment, preventive
maintenance schedules, and warranty items.

Want "hard dollar" savings too? It's actually
easy.
Employee time and administrative costs are sometimes called "soft
dollar" costs. These soft dollars can be reduced through Poulton
Associates Equipment Maintenance Program. There's even better news.
You can also save "hard dollars" --from 5% to 25% of your
maintenance costs annually.
We'll assist you in converting traditional service
contracts to a more efficient time-and-materials basis. If you're currently
using time-and-materials, we'll add valuable operational efficiencies
through our parts and vendor search services. If some of your maintenance
is handled in-house, we'll reimburse you for your service technician
expenses.
The efficiency conversion process is usually completed
within thirty days. Now additional benefits start adding up. You'll
have: More comprehensive coverage, eliminating gaps and uncertainties.
One fixed, guaranteed annual budget, rather than fluctuating costs
and expensive "surprises."
One contractual agreement rather than many.
One anniversary date to keep track of rather than many.
Better administrative control over all equipment maintenance issues.
Comprehensive reporting, so you can easily track your spending and
saving.
More opportunity to concentrate on your core business, less distraction
on equipment maintenance.

Information Required For Equipment
Maintenance Proposal
The following is required to prepare a proposal:
- An equipment list, including descriptions, manufacturers, and models
- Volume estimates for equipment having usage as a factor in maintenance
costs, such as copiers (program costs may vary based on usage)
Depending upon your record-keeping, it may be easier
for you to find some or all of your equipment maintenance information
in:
- Current maintenance contracts (for coverage descriptions)
- Copies of bills from your equipment maintenance service companies
You can help Poulton Associates improve your maintenance
efficiency by providing us with complete, current information about
your equipment and coverage. It's a small investment of time that can
pay big dividends.
Want to learn more? Call Poulton Associates and ask
to speak with Rachel Tueller (801) 268-2600 ext.122.
