KSA data residency (Saudi-hosted data in 2026)
Using risk to manage assets is a key principle of asset management. The same also applies to how an organisation manages its critical spare inventories.
We have developed a simple risk-based Asset Management tool to help with this.
It simply does the following:
• Reduces operational and safety risk by predicting potential failures before they occur.
• Optimizes spare parts inventory through data-driven prioritization and cost efficiency.
• Integrates asset performance and maintenance data into a unified decision platform.
• Improves asset reliability and availability across complex infrastructure systems.
• Supports lifecycle investment planning with evidence-based risk insights.
• Delivers measurable value by minimizing downtime and total cost of ownership.

RiskSpare Outcomes
Our Risk Spare analysis tool considers multiple factors, including:
▪ The cost of being caught without a spare, and needing it;
▪ The cost of the spare itself;
▪ The number of machines (or assets) in use;
▪ How often we are likely to need the spare;
▪ The cost of money tied up in purchasing and holding the spare;
▪ How long it takes to get a spare - the 'leadtime’;
▪ How much longer we intend to keep this plant in operation;
▪ Whether some of the failures are repairable;
▪ What proportions are repairable;
▪ How long it takes to repair; and
▪ Premium cost for fast spares delivery.
▪ Maintenance cost for the spare once in inventory
Defensible, data-backed decisions:
The Risk Spare analysis tool uses these inputs to help arrive at financial decision on whether spares need to be held, and if so, the optimum amount. It produces ranked buy lists, scenario comparisons, and ready to load policy files for ERP or EAM systems enabling fast, data-backed action.
What Data Do I Need?
This table captures the key inputs we need to assess your spare-part strategy costs, lead times, repairability, and downtime impact. With standardized fields and simple drop-downs, it makes data entry easy and ensures consistent, accurate results for your reports.

Offshore Drilling Provider (Norway)
Pulse Infra Analytics used RiskSpare’s finance-first risk model to optimise spares for Archer/Seawell’s newbuild rig in New Zealand. Quantifying outage risk and total cost for a unique hydraulic Top Drive secured approval for a €1.12M investment, including a second gearbox, while right-sizing other OEM spares from four to two, saving €200K and reducing risk by millions.
Client Challenge
Archer/Seawell required a defensible spares strategy for a newbuild modular drilling rig mobilising to New Zealand. High-criticality, long-lead items, especially a unique hydraulic Top Drive, made OEM recommendations costly. Leadership needed a finance-first risk model and auditable evidence to approve significant spend while ensuring availability and safety.
Scope of Work
Pulse Infra Analytics was tasked with:
• Developing a finance-first spares model tailored to the rig’s operating profile, logistics, and New Zealand lead-time constraints.
• Performing risk and downtime cost analysis for the hydraulic Top Drive and other critical assemblies.
• Benchmarking OEM recommendations using RiskSpare to right-size quantities.
• Producing audit-ready justification packs for executive approval, covering assumptions, scenarios, and expected risk reduction.
• Advising procurement sequencing and inventory policy for mobilisation and early operations.
