The advertised package continues after the tool is delivered
Hilti’s U.S. fleet page describes a monthly tool package with repairs, maintenance and other services. Its public support material also describes loaner requests, returns and wear-part exclusions.
This is the company’s described offer and support process, not proof of a particular customer’s contract coverage, repair speed or savings. A short marketing phrase cannot replace the actual scope a new provider would need to agree.
List the jobs that each monthly payment must fund
For your company, begin with the equipment population and the service promise. Count customer contacts, transport, inspection, repairs, replacement stock, administration and end-of-contract handling where they are part of the proposed work.
The table is an ELN costing exercise. It does not reproduce Hilti’s internal cost model or tell you which items a customer is legally entitled to receive.
| Recurring job | Evidence for a cost assumption | What to make clear |
|---|---|---|
| Repair and maintenance | Expected workload, labour, parts and transport for the actual equipment | Included work, excluded items and authorisation process |
| Loan or replacement equipment | Stock, availability, dispatch and return arrangements | What is promised if a suitable replacement is unavailable? |
| Loss or damage handling | The proposed responsibility, checks and possible customer payment | The actual agreed scope, not the word “covered” alone |
| Renewal and returns | Collection, condition checks, refurbishment and records | When a tool leaves the account and what work remains |
Check a busy service week as well as an average month
Fictional example: five contracted machines need attention during the same week, but the provider has only two suitable loaners available. An average annual repair budget does not answer which customers receive cover or what the others were promised.
Management should show its proposed response to clustered demand, the cost of extra capacity and the limits it will state to customers. Avoid promising unlimited availability merely because the price is monthly.
Model the continuing support before setting the fee
Ask for a cost schedule that separates one-time onboarding from ongoing service and later returns. Keep the number of paying accounts and the work generated by them on the same time basis. A fee that covers delivery but omits later work can mislead the owner’s decision.
Use U.S. unit economics for the service operation’s annual customer-fee revenue and annual operating costs. For a supported full-year monthly amount, multiply by 12; use the actual active months if accounts start or end during the year. Include labour, manager cover, parts, transport, premises, insurance and administration once in the appropriate cost lines. Set royalty to 0 if none is payable under the actual proposal; otherwise use the supported actual rate.
Keep one-time equipment purchases and dated cash flows in a separate funding schedule. Keep the workload assumptions and peak loaner-cover plan beside the model: an annual cost comparison does not schedule which customer gets a replacement in a busy week.
Scope
- Company-reported historical facts are attributed. The public record does not establish private contract terms, U.S. net profit or a result another business can expect.
- ELN’s tables and decision exercises are original planning suggestions. Actual product, people, contract and operating requirements need their own checks.
Next step
Use U.S. unit economics to compare supported annual customer-fee revenue with complete annual service operating costs. Convert full-year monthly amounts by multiplying by 12; retain active-month assumptions, the cost schedule and peak-cover plan alongside it. Keep one-time or dated cash flows separate.
