Caterpillar · FinOps Profile

Caterpillar Finops

FOCUS-aligned FinOps scaffold for Caterpillar's Cat Digital Marketplace APIs. The dominant invoice line is the customer's Cat Connect / VisionLink subscription sold through the Cat Dealer network; API access is bundled within that. Meters track per-asset and per-API consumption to support internal allocation.

Caterpillar Finops is the FinOps profile for Caterpillar on the APIs.io network, aligned with the FinOps Foundation Framework.

It defines 4 billable meters, billed in USD, on a monthly cycle, and pricing category subscription (cat connect / visionlink bundled).

The profile maps 6 FOCUS columns for cost-allocation reporting.

Tagged areas include Telematics, Heavy Equipment, Manufacturing, FinOps, and FOCUS.
