customize within their order. Configured products offered on the PartnerPortal include terminals and

compact bench scales, including but not limited to IND570, ICS689 Combi, and ICS685SG,

among others.

Ordering configured products involves the selection of a base product at a set cost, along with a

number of customizable parts at variable costs that the customer can select as part of their order.

For example, when purchasing an IND570 terminal, the customer can select their Base Model (at a

set cost), and select from among a variety of parts, including communication options (WLAN

Bluetooth, Ethernet Bluetooth, etc.), connectivity options (Analog Output, ControlNet, etc.), and

Power/Approval Options (120-240VAC No Line Cord, 24VDC No Line Cord, etc.), among others.

Questions concerning pricing should be directed to the appropriate Order Entry team.

Submitting an Order

notifies METTLER TOLEDO that you prefer all items to ship in the same delivery if possible. Please

note that this is not a guarantee of consolidated delivery. For items that are shipped from different

locations, it may not be possible to consolidate all packages, in which case you will receive

multiple deliveries.

Lead Management

How do I know I have received a lead?

Lead email notifications will be sent to your organizations coordinator(s).

The coordinator will be responsible for assigning the lead to the appropriate sales rep.

On the homepage of the Portal, the leads dashboard provides a simple overview of all new leads

and leads that have been converted into opportunities but have not been closed.

2. Accepting Leads

the lead should be assigned to.

To send a new lead email notification to the sales rep, select the Send e-mail notification box.

Click the Assign box next to the sales rep's name.

Once the lead is assigned, the coordinator or sales rep will need to accept or reject the lead. If the

lead is accepted, the coordinator or sales rep will need to complete all mandatory fields under the

Opportunity Details and select "Continue". This step must be completed in order to export the lead

information (see section on "CRM Tools").

3. Rejecting Leads

What if the lead sent is not for my PAR or there is

no current opportunity?

When you reject the lead, you will be prompted

to enter a reason why. Once a lead is rejected,

the lead will be removed from your list.

4. Searching for Leads

How do I search for leads that lost or closed?

You can search for leads at any time on the "Advanced Search" tab of the Lead History List. You

can search by Lead ID, Status, or Sales Stage.

If you are looking for lost or closed leads for instance, you can either search by the lead ID, or by

the specific status.

5. CRM Tools (ex: salesforce, Sage, Act!)

We use a CRM tool for leads tracking and management. Will we have to manage leads in two

systems?

There is an option to export leads and import lead updates under the Mass Update tab in the Lead

History List. The coordinator must have accepted the leads first before the file can be exported.

There is a .csv format file that can be downloaded which can be used to import the leads into your

system. For more details on this process, see the Lead Import Guide.

To close a lead in the PartnerPortal:

Go to the "In Process" leads and select the lead you need to close.

In the Sales Stage, select "Close Sale".

submission form.

When the page loads, click the "NEW WARRANTY" button.

In the "GENERAL DATA" and "END-CUSTOMER INFORMATION" sections, fill in the boxes with

incurred. Zones 1 – 20 are for standard vehicles and zones 21 – 40 are for heavy-duty test

vehicles.

*Note: Incurred travel for services is capped to zone 10. Special consideration of additional

travel will be allowed ONLY in the event that drive time and total mileage incurred is noted at

the time the claim is reviewed, or if management approval is obtained before the claim is

submitted.

In the "INFORMATION ABOUT THE PRODUCT UNDER WARRANTY" section, enter the requested

information of the serviced equipment. The MT order number is the sales order that the serviced

equipment/part was purchased on. If the claim is a part related failure, the serial number of the

equipment it comes out of should be referenced.

*Note: a new feature available is to fill in hourly increments in the "Repair Service (Hrs)"

section with exact time incurred. It is no longer necessary to round to the nearest hour.

Fill out the "SPARE PART INFORMATION" section, referencing any replacement parts used in the

service. The "MT Order No. of the Spart Part" section is the sales order that the replaced part

was purchased on. If more than one part is used, click "+ Add" to add a new part.

Attach all documentation related to the services performed by clicking on the "Select file" box.

*Note: only one file can be uploaded to the claim, with a maximum size of 2 megabytes. Your

claim will not successfully submit without attaching documentation related to the services

performed.

2. Reference Numbers on Claims

number, or sales order number is not working—or I do not have this number. What do I do?

Contact [email protected] for assistance.

3. Warranty Terms and Conditions

Where can I view the warranty terms and conditions?

The terms and conditions can be found at the following website:

4. Rejected Claims

My claim has been rejected. Why?

Rejection reasons notes can be found in the warranty claim under Approval Comments. For

additional clarification, contact the warranty team at [email protected].

5. Returns and Credits

Why can't I receive credit through warranty for return of a defective product?

request an out-of-box failure contact [email protected] or call 1-800-METTLER for

assistance.

6. Shipping Labels

Can I be issued a shipping label for return of defective parts?

Warranty does not issue return labels. The person or group initiating the claim will need to cover

the cost of return shipping upfront. However, credit can be requested for freight cost associated with

a claim/return.

7. General Warranty Questions

Who can I contact for general warranty questions?

All questions regarding warranty should be submitted to [email protected].
