Key Takeaways

⇨ SAP and other ERP systems enhance efficiency and compliance in asset-intensive operations, but their effectiveness is hampered by incomplete or delayed data entry processes.

⇨ Administrative delays caused by reliance on paper-based systems can lead to compromised decision making and negatively impact compliance reporting and financial performance.

⇨ Implementing a fieldwork automation solution like Obzervr's Digital Work Management Solution allows for the real-time integration of quality field data into ERP systems, enhancing data accuracy and operational insights.

SAP and other ERP systems offer unparalleled solutions to manage the complex and diverse needs of asset intensive operations. These tools can significantly increase efficiencies, save costs and improve compliance.

However, the integrity of these solutions suffers when vital information hasn’t been entered into the system. Think paper-based work orders and other documents from the field that have either not been entered in a timely manner due to the heavy burdon of paperwork or have been entered without all information or with keying errors.

It’s common for maintenance supervisors, managers and leaders to struggle to find the time to scan and/or rekey their paper-based forms. These administrative delays and bottlenecks are almost unavoidable when using manual systems.

The question is: What are these administrative delays really costing your team, maintenance function and organisation?

The truth is that ERP systems, including SAP, are simply less effective without access to the whole picture. So many decisions and processes are compromised by missing data – from compliance reporting through to financial performance.

But it doesn’t need to be that way. A fieldwork automation and mobility solution like Obzervr’s Digital Work Management Solution helps you digitally capture quality data in the field and seamlessly upload this information into your ERP and other critical business systems with minimal delays.

Obzervr seamlessly integrates with SAP S/4HANA and ECC6 to support the full lifecycle of digital work order execution. The native SAP connector synchronises master data, work orders, and field data in real time, even offline – ensuring maintenance teams always have the latest information, and data captured from the field can be turned into accurate insights. Importantly, the bespoke integration for SAP ensures a smooth and efficient connection without the need for Fiori apps, middleware, upgrades or reliance on SAP Cloud or SAP BTP.
