This initial step ensures that every decision is data-driven and aligned with your business objectives.

Types of Coverage
OPEX service offers a range of coverage options to accommodate different operational needs, budgets, and levels of in-house expertise. Whether you prefer full coverage, self-reliance, or a balanced hybrid approach, OPEX has a solution tailored to your business.
Full Service
Full Coverage: Peace of Mind with Proactive Support
Ideal for operations that value end-to-end assurance, this plan includes all preventive maintenance, labor, parts, and upgrades. It’s a hands-off solution that ensures maximum uptime, allowing you to focus on scaling your business without worrying about system health.
The full coverage option is the most comprehensive service plan, ideal for organizations that want maximum operational assurance with minimal in-house involvement. It includes:
- All-Inclusive Labor: OPEX-employed, certified technicians handle all preventive maintenance, break/fix repairs, and system upgrades.
- Spare Parts: OPEX manages spare parts inventory, stored either on-site or nearby, ensuring quick replacements to minimize downtime.
- Proactive Monitoring: Systems are routinely monitored to address potential issues before they escalate.
- Shift Flexibility: Coverage includes options for extended hours, evening, and weekend support if required.
This option ensures your operations remain seamless, as OPEX takes complete responsibility for system performance.
Self-Service
Self-Service: Empowering Independence
For companies with robust technical teams, self-service offers autonomy with access to critical resources. This plan includes certified technician training, diagnostic tools, and annual subscriptions for hotline support and updates. While your team handles maintenance, OPEX remains a trusted partner for escalated needs.
The self-service plan is perfect for businesses with in-house technical expertise and a willingness to manage maintenance independently. Key aspects include:
- Upfront Costs: Customers invest in technician training, proprietary tooling, and a recommended stock of spare parts.
- Training: Certified training programs at OPEX facilities in Moorestown, NJ, and Plano, TX, equip your team with the skills to handle system maintenance and troubleshooting.
- Recurring Support: Annual subscriptions provide access to the OPEX Tech Support Hotline, diagnostic tools, and remote performance monitoring.
- Maintenance Responsibility: Your team is responsible for all preventive maintenance and repairs. Emergency services are available on a pay-per-dispatch basis.
This option is cost-effective for organizations with strong internal resources and a focus on operational autonomy.
Hybrid/Shared Service
Hybrid/Shared Service: Balancing Independence with Expert Support
This customizable option blends the best of both worlds, self-service independence and OPEX-provided support, offering flexibility in sharing maintenance responsibilities. Let OPEX handle complex preventive tasks and repairs while your team addresses day-to-day operations. It’s a cost-effective approach that provides critical support without over-reliance.
Hybrid service allows organizations to tailor their service agreements based on specific needs:
- Flexible Labor Inclusion: OPEX technicians handle more complex tasks such as preventive maintenance and system repairs, while your team manages simpler maintenance operations.
- Preventive Maintenance: OPEX can be responsible for scheduled preventive maintenance, which is a key element in maintaining long-term system health.
- Emergency Assistance: OPEX is available for critical issues, ensuring swift resolution with a combination of remote and on-site support.
This plan is ideal for businesses seeking a cost-effective solution without compromising on critical support for advanced maintenance.
Key Considerations for Self and Hybrid Plans
- Parts Ownership: For self and hybrid service customers, spare parts are owned and managed by the customer. Keeping essential parts on-site ensures faster response times.
- Proprietary Tooling: Specialized tools may be required for system repairs and are available for purchase.
- Annual Fees: Subscriptions for OPEX diagnostic tools, service bulletins, and software licenses ensure ongoing system support and upgrades.
With these flexible options, OPEX Service empowers businesses to choose a coverage model that aligns with their operational priorities, technical capabilities, and budget. Whether you require a hands-off approach, complete self-reliance, or a middle ground, OPEX ensures your system operates at peak efficiency.
