For manufacturers & technology partners

Extend your product without developing the entire software environment.

Use PI as an operational, integration, diagnostic, support, or customer-facing platform around your equipment and services.

A platform around your equipment

Make your products easier to deploy, operate, diagnose, and support.

PI can connect manufacturer-supported interfaces to tailored dashboards, commissioning tools, customer portals, and fleet-level views. The result is a product experience shaped around your market without starting from zero.

  • Manufacturer dashboards
  • Custom branding
  • Driver integration
  • Remote support
  • Customer portals
  • Fleet management

Diagnose before dispatch

Use remote system status, device health, alerts, trends, and service history to prepare better service calls.

Grow

Create recurring services

Build ongoing relationships around monitoring, remote support, preventive maintenance, reporting, and system optimization.

Scale

Manage the installed base

Give service teams a portfolio view of customer sites, open faults, equipment history, contract activity, and lifecycle needs.

Extend

Build specialized solutions

Develop custom interfaces, drivers, workflows, and integrations for the markets and manufacturers your team knows best.
