# About equipment

In the Zilliant system, **equipment** represents a serialized product that has been delivered to, or installed at, a customer location. Equipment comprises a hierarchy of components, sub-components, and spare parts.

Customers use the self-service **Commerce** portal to view products and parts represented by equipment you define in the system. From that portal, your purchasers can easily:

- Navigate the equipment hierarchy
- Research, select, and purchase products and spare parts
- Request quotes

## Configure equipment

To set up equipment, read [Configure equipment](/v1/docs/configure-equipment).
