SAP FSM for Utilities
14 March 2023
Is SAP Field Service Management a good fit for utilities to enhance maintenance, metering and service processes? Evora’s recent SAP-blog post features insights on how utility organizations can achieve their high targets on efficiency while making life easier for everybody in the maintenance and service organization. More of the knowledge will be shared in our partner session by Michael Berkowsky at the International SAP Utilities Conference, taking place on April 18 – 20, 2023 in Basel.
Challenges of utilities
For utility companies, it is often a struggle that multiple different applications are required for processes from finding the optimal routes (by using ESRI-Information) for technicians until receiving confirmations from the technicians about used materials, meter readings, and required efforts. Keeping labor costs low while at the same time raising the quality of the process seems like an impossible task. However, with an aging workforce and more demanding regulations year after year, this is what utility organizations expect their maintenance and service leads to achieve.
Being in the dynamic energy provider market with customers only one click away from a new supplier, utility organizations need solutions that support metering processes, improve response times, and honor customer appointments, while seamlessly collecting necessary data. At the same time, e.g. grid maintenance demands integration from different data sources like GIS and grid management applications to provide the technician with the right information.
Whether you are looking for a stand-alone FSM implementation or already using the SAP Work Manager (WM), SAP Asset Manager (SAM), or even the SAP Service and Asset Manager (SSAM), Evora is there to help you find the best solution for your use case. That said, SSAM can be seamlessly integrated into SAP FSM and consume the full FSM functionality. We are looking forward to learning about your requirements. Get in touch!
