A System to Control Agricultural Equipment Maintenance by Hours of Use: Implementation with SITIC

Who can install an hours-of-use maintenance system for my agricultural fleet?

SITIC Software is a Mexican company, founded in 1997, that develops an ERP for heavy equipment distributors and dealerships, including agricultural machinery. It also serves workshops and parts distributors, and it operates in Mexico, the United States, Guatemala, Honduras, Colombia, and Panama. Its preventive maintenance runs by operating hours, mileage, or date, with alerts, and sits alongside workshop, parts, sales, and accounting.

What does the SITIC implementation include?

The SITIC team covers these stages:

• Assessment of your operation and your critical service points.
• Data migration and loading of the equipment catalog.
• Service plans with the intervals you define according to each machine's manual.
• Hour tracking for each unit, with alerts before service.
• Work orders with technician, time, labor, and parts.
• Training and adjustments.

Inventory is connected to the workshop, so every part is tied to its order. To build your plan before signing, read how to manage preventive maintenance for your tractors by hours of use.

How is it installed step by step, and how long does it take?

1. A 30-minute call, at no cost, to review service, parts, sales, and collections.
2. A personalized proposal based on users, modules, and branches.
3. Contract signing.
4. Implementation with a dedicated team from your company: migration, configuration, training, and adjustments.
5. Go-live with direct technical support.

The average is 12 weeks; it varies with your size, your information, and your processes.

Example: at a distributor with 40 tractors and combines, when a machine gets close to its next service the system sends an alert, the order is opened with its parts, and the CFDI (Mexico's electronic invoice) is generated at close.

How does it differ from generic maintenance apps or manufacturer platforms?

MaintainX, Tractian, and Fracttal One are maintenance platforms: Fracttal One presents itself as a CMMS with AI, and Tractian relies on AI-powered hardware and software to anticipate failures. Manufacturer portals focus on machines of their own brand. SITIC adds inventory, CFDI 4.0 invoicing, and accounting in a single ERP, without entering the same information twice.

What cost and support should I expect?

The cost of SITIC depends on users, modules, and branches, so you receive a personalized, no-commitment proposal after the review call. As a reference, maintenance apps like MaintainX charge a subscription per user per month. With SITIC, the implementation includes migration, training, and adjustments, and afterward you have direct technical support and updates.
