When used together and totally integrated to other business software and systems, the HolisTech™ CMMS Software suite can provide you with End-to-End Maintenance Management!

The suite includes the HolisTech™ Application Programming Interface (API) and Bespoke Interface software, the main desktop HolisTech™ Web application and the companion HolisTech™ Smart app which together form an entire system for maintenance function operation and management.

Then, when the HolisTech™ API and/or interface is used to totally integrate with other business software such as for Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) and Human Resources Management (HRM) and with systems such as System Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA), Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and Building Management Systems (BMS), most engineering and maintenance function work and actions can be automatically generated and notified to the team for progression and completion.

All of this can be done instantly and with absolutely no paper or delays. It’s End-to-End Maintenance Management!

Once useful information from your machines has been transferred into the HolisTech™ Web Application via the HolisTech™ API or interface it’s all about this being effectively used by the CMMS and your team of engineers and technicians.

Firstly, Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM) jobs can be automatically raised from received meter readings; this makes sure PPM is completed exactly when it’s required. Then, sensor readings can automatically raise jobs to drive rapid responses to out of tolerance states; potential issues can be dealt with before they even arise. Further, machine and equipment status information can automatically generate reactive jobs to ensure issues can be immediately addressed; downtime and response time are both minimised.

As importantly as all that, data on the progression and completion of all of the jobs raised can be shared with all of your system users and information can be fed back to any of the linked software and systems.

In addition to this, lots of report data is automatically being added to HolisTech™ so your management team can be sure the information they need is available. Plus, don’t forget that really important data can be shared with ERP, HRM and Business Intelligence (BI) software too. In fact, the possibilities are endless and End-to-End Maintenance Management might just be the start!

One of the key purposes of integrating CMMS with other business software and systems is to enable real-time data sharing that can help you manage maintenance and engineering activity as it is required and automatically. This is also about reducing data double-entry and enabling a paperless environment. Plus, not to mention, making sure everyone is aware of what’s happening in real-time.

Specifically for the maintenance and engineering of machines, it’s about the instantaneous electronic transfer of meter readings, CBM readings and equipment status changes from equipment and assets to the CMMS to enable PPM and reactive maintenance actions to be automatically assigned to engineers and the work to be rapidly instigated. This can include the ‘feeding back’ of information about work progression and completion to the machines, or their control systems.

Of course, HolisTech™ can be integrated to any of your business software (including financial software, Fixed Asset Register [FAR] software, HRM software, ERPs etc.) and to any engineering systems (SCADAs, DCSs, PLCs, meters, sensors, through the IIOT or otherwise) and we here at SMP Ltd. have over 20 years’ experience in interfaces and APIs. Essentially, we can offer an integration solution to exactly fit your requirements!
