Pipelines with real stage gates

Each stage says what the rep is trying to achieve and what must be true before the deal moves on, so forecasts reflect evidence rather than optimism.

Engineered Sales

Complex, configured project pipeline with bid/tender

  1. 1Opportunity Identification

    Get in before the specification is written — after that you are bidding someone else’s spec.

    • Project confirmed to exist with an owner and a budget cycle
  2. 2Qualification

    Qualify on funding status, schedule and whether you can meet the HSE and prequalification bar.

    • Funding status and schedule confirmed
    • HSE / vendor prequalification passed
  3. 3Scoping & Engineering

    Work the technical scope with engineering so the specification reflects what you do best.

    • Technical scope and interfaces agreed with engineering
    • Configuration and lead times validated
  4. 4Bid / Tender Submission

    Submit a compliant bid with priced options and the assumptions stated explicitly.

    • Compliant bid submitted before the deadline
    • Commercial assumptions, exclusions and validity documented
  5. 5Negotiation & Contracting

    Negotiate scope, liquidated damages and payment milestones together — they price each other.

    • Scope, LDs and payment milestones agreed
    • Contract terms cleared by legal
  6. 6Awarded

Aftermarket & Service Contracts

Installed-base service, spares and maintenance agreement renewals

  1. 1Installed Base Review

    • Asset list, age and service history confirmed

    • Rate card and standard terms agreed
  3. 3Panel Approval

    • Approved onto the supplier panel
  4. 4Framework Awarded

The fields your team actually needs

Added to your records when you apply the pack, alongside everything SalesOS already tracks. Custom fields are on the Professional plan and above.

Accounts

  • Site Type

    Plant · Refinery · Utility · Mine · Factory · Distribution

  • Installed Assets

    Units of your equipment on site — the aftermarket opportunity base

  • HSE Prequalified

    Health, safety and environment vendor prequalification is current

  • Shutdown / Turnaround Window

    The only window in which major work can happen — misses cost a year

Contacts

  • Plant Role

    Operations · Maintenance · Engineering · Procurement · HSE · Finance

Deals

  • Project Value

  • Commissioning Date

  • Engineering Complexity

    Standard · Configured · Engineered-to-Order

  • Tender Reference

  • EPC / Integrator Partner

    The engineering contractor between you and the asset owner, if any

  • Capex or Opex

    Determines which budget and which approval path applies

    Capex · Opex · Mixed

Products

  • Lead Time (weeks)

  • Certifications

    ATEX · IECEx · CE · UL · ISO 9001 · API · None

Quotes

  • Incoterms

    EXW · FCA · FOB · CIF · DAP · DDP

  • Warranty Term (months)

  • Bid Validity Until

    After this date the priced assumptions no longer hold

The metrics energy, resources & industrials leaders run on

Bid Win Rate

Share of submitted bids and tenders that are awarded.

Order Backlog

Awarded but not yet delivered contract value.

Aftermarket Attach Rate

Share of equipment sales that also close a service or spares contract.

Quote Turnaround

Days from RFQ receipt to a priced, compliant bid.

Project Gross Margin

Margin realised at project close versus margin bid.

Asset Uptime / Availability

Availability of the installed base — the outcome the customer actually buys.

HSE Incidents

Safety incidents on delivered work; a single incident can end a vendor relationship.

Win Rate

Closed-won opportunities as a share of all closed opportunities.

Average Deal Size

Mean value of closed-won opportunities in the period.

Sales Cycle Length

Median days from opportunity creation to close.

Pipeline Coverage

Open pipeline value divided by the quota it has to cover.

Forecast Accuracy

How closely committed forecast tracked actual closed revenue.

AI that knows the rules of your industry

Coaching, objection handling and email help are tuned to this industry, and every prompt carries rules the assistant may not break:

  • Never suggest deviating from safety procedures, permits, HSE requirements or equipment certification.
  • Do not state a performance figure, certification (ATEX, IECEx, API, UL) or lead time that the product record does not support.
  • Do not advise bidding non-compliant scope or omitting exclusions to look cheaper — it creates claims, not wins.
  • Do not make environmental or emissions claims that are not independently verified.

Practice against the buyers you meet

Plant Manager

Cares about: Uptime and availability; Safety record; Anything installable inside the shutdown window

Category Manager, Industrial Procurement

Cares about: Compliant, comparable bids; Total cost of ownership; Contractual protection on schedule and performance

Chief Engineer

Cares about: Technical compliance to specification; Documentation and interface clarity; Proven references on similar duty

Director of Health, Safety & Environment

Cares about: Contractor safety record and prequalification; Regulatory compliance evidence; Environmental performance

Speaks your language

EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction)
The contractor that designs and builds the asset — often your actual buyer rather than the owner.
ETO / CTO (Engineered- / Configure-to-Order)
Products designed or configured per order rather than picked from stock.
FEED (Front-End Engineering Design)
The pre-investment design phase where specifications — and vendor preferences — get fixed.
MRO (Maintenance, Repair & Operations)
The aftermarket spend that sustains an asset; usually higher-margin than the original equipment.
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)
Availability × performance × quality — the standard plant productivity metric.
Turnaround / TAR
A planned full or partial plant shutdown; the only window for major intrusive work.
HSE (Health, Safety & Environment)
The prequalification bar a vendor must clear before it can even bid.
LD (Liquidated Damages)
Contractual penalties for late delivery or missed performance — price them before you bid.
Incoterms
Standard trade terms defining who bears cost and risk at each point of shipment.
Capex / Opex
Capital versus operating budget. Which one funds the deal changes the approver and the timeline.
LCOE (Levelised Cost of Energy)
Lifetime cost per unit of energy produced — the deciding metric in renewables.

Questions

What does the Energy, Resources & Industrials pack add to SalesOS?

3 ready-made pipelines (Engineered Sales, Aftermarket & Service Contracts and Framework Agreements) with stage exit criteria, 16 custom fields across accounts, contacts, deals, products and quotes, 12 industry KPIs, a glossary and buyer personas for AI coaching. The interface also speaks your language: deals become “Project”, products become “Equipment / Service” and pipelines become “Project Pipeline”.

Which Energy, Resources & Industrials features need which plan?

The pack's pipelines and terminology work on every plan, including the free trial. Its custom fields need Professional or above. Industry features: Project & Configured Quoting (Professional); Field Service & Asset Maintenance (Enterprise); Installed Base & Asset Lifecycle (Enterprise); CPQ & Quoting (Professional); Approval Workflows (Enterprise).

How does SalesOS keep its AI compliant in energy, resources & industrials?

Every AI prompt for a Energy, Resources & Industrials workspace carries hard rules the assistant may not break, for example: Never suggest deviating from safety procedures, permits, HSE requirements or equipment certification. Do not state a performance figure, certification (ATEX, IECEx, API, UL) or lead time that the product record does not support.

Can we change the pipelines and fields?

Yes. Applying the pack creates ordinary pipelines and custom fields in your workspace, so you can rename, reorder or remove them like any other. Re-applying it only adds what is missing.

How do we turn it on?

Pick your industry when you set up your workspace, or later under Settings → Industry Pack. Applying it sets up the pipelines, fields and buyer personas in one step.
