Three problems.
One foundation.
OEMs don't have one data problem. They have a cluster of related problems that share the same root: decades of accumulated complexity that no single system was designed to handle. Apical's products are built to address that cluster — starting with the problem that costs the most to ignore, and expanding from there.

Service Parts & Actions
Retrieval & Knowledge Management
Know exactly which parts every service job requires — on every machine, every variant, every market. SPARK reads your existing service documentation, parts books, and commercial catalogue to produce a complete, confidence-scored service kit specification for every defined service action.
It doesn't require you to fix your data before you start. It works with what you have.

In developmentProduct Hierarchy Mapping
Large OEM product portfolios accumulate decades of inconsistent classification — product lines that grew through acquisition, platforms that were renamed, hierarchies that made sense at the time but don't map cleanly to how machines are sold, serviced, or analyzed today.
SUMMIT creates a coherent, navigable product hierarchy from the structure that exists — without requiring a master data governance project to precede it.
We're working with early design partners now.

Feature Activation &
Subscription Management
As OEMs move toward software-defined machines, the ability to activate and monetize features after the point of sale becomes critical infrastructure. SWITCH is a software feature activation and subscription management solution built for the complexity of OEM product portfolios — where a "feature" might be a hardware capability, a software unlock, a regional compliance requirement, or a dealer-managed service tier.
We're mapping the landscape and talking to OEMs about their activation and subscription needs.

What we have is a clear point of view about where the problems are, a working solution for one of the most expensive ones, and the domain depth to earn a conversation about the rest.
