1. Select the machine and assembly
Open the diagram that matches the equipment and area being serviced.
Service technician parts lookup
Find the correct service part from the machine context in front of you
Use interactive exploded views, current part records and replacement guidance to move from a visible component to the correct orderable part.
Visual lookup by assembly
Current and superseded part guidance
Connected quote or order path
View a live exampleA technician rarely starts with a perfect part number
The starting point is usually a machine, an assembly and a component that needs inspection or replacement. Parts lookup should preserve that context instead of forcing the technician to search disconnected manuals and spreadsheets.
A field-ready lookup workflow
Move from equipment context to a current service part without losing the visual relationship.

2. Identify the component visually
Use the exploded view and callout position instead of guessing the part name.

3. Verify the current part record
Check part number, description and available replacement guidance before selection.

4. Continue the service workflow
Send the selected part into a quote, cart or external ordering process.
Keep replacement history connected to the visual reference
Older machines may still show a legacy number in the manual or on a previous service record. The technician should not have to leave the assembly context and search several systems to discover whether that number is still orderable.
Part replacement and supersession guidance can connect the old reference to the preferred current service part. Because the relationship remains attached to the catalog record, customers, dealers and internal teams can follow the same guidance.
What technicians and service teams gain
Faster visual identification
Use assembly context when the exact part number is unknown.
Fewer obsolete-number dead ends
Guide users from legacy references to the preferred current replacement.
A clearer next step
Keep selected parts connected to ordering, quoting or support workflows.
Connect lookup to the systems the service team already uses
PartGrid provides the catalog and identification layer rather than replacing the ERP, field-service platform or ordering system. The technician can identify the component visually, verify the current record and then pass the selected part to the next workflow.
That handoff can lead to a cart, quote or external process. The catalog can also be placed in an existing service portal through an embedded viewer or collection, keeping lookup close to the technician's normal work environment.
Service workflow questions
Common questions
How technician lookup fits with existing catalogs and systems.
Does PartGrid replace our ERP or service system?+
No. PartGrid provides the visual parts lookup and catalog experience, then connects selected-part context to existing commercial or service workflows.
Can technicians use exploded views?+
Yes. Interactive diagrams connect visual callouts to structured part records so technicians can identify components from assembly context.
What happens when a part number is obsolete?+
Replacement and supersession relationships can guide the technician from a legacy reference to the preferred current part.
