Owning Costs

Proven Best Investment

Customer Support Agreements

A Customer Support Agreement (CSA) is an arrangement
between you and your Cat dealer that helps you lower
your total cost per ton. CSAs are flexible, allowing them
to be tailored to your business needs. They can range from
simple Preventive Maintenance Kits to elaborate Total Cost
Performance Guarantees. Having a CSA with your Cat dealer
enables more time for you to do what you do best – run
your business.

Monitoring Systems

Monitoring product health is key to optimizing the life
of an investment into a Cat Wheel Loader.

Cat Product Link – Cat Product Link allows remote
monitoring of equipment to improve overall fl eet­
management effectiveness. Product Link is deeply
integrated into machine systems. Events and diagnostic
codes, as well as hours, fuel, idle time and other detailed
information are transmitted to a secure web based
application, VisionLink™. VisionLink includes powerful
tools to convey information to users and dealers, including
mapping, working and idle time, fuel level and more.
