PM Run: the Engeman alternative for teams already running SAP PM
Engeman is a complete, standalone CMMS. For teams that already have SAP PM as their core system, PM Run brings execution and mobility inside SAP itself, with no second registry of assets and orders to maintain.
The best Engeman alternative for teams already running SAP PM
Engeman is a CMMS maintenance-management software with its own database, aimed at operations that want a complete, standalone system. For teams already running SAP PM, the alternative is PM Run: instead of a second system, it is the execution and mobility layer that runs on top of SAP PM, taking orders, notifications, and confirmations to the field and returning everything to SAP, which remains the central record.
What PM Run delivers on top of SAP PM
Real features from PM Run's Mobility and Planning modules, all connected to SAP PM.
Orders that come from SAP PM
PM Run reads equipment, functional location, order, and notification straight from SAP PM. There is no second asset registry to keep up to date.
Field execution, online and offline
The technician creates and executes the order on their phone, mirroring SAP's IW31 screen, with checklist, photo, and confirmation on the spot.
Native integration with SAP PM
Notification, order, confirmation, reservation, and measurement document flow into SAP via SOAMANAGER, PI, CPI, or RFC, with a dedicated package in the customer's environment.
Integration Log
Each notification, order, and document is flagged as success or failure, so you know the data reached the ERP.
Planning on top of SAP
Backlog, Gantt scheduling, capacity by crew, and allocation suggested by Manu, the AI assistant that distributes orders by skill and availability.
Self-service KPI dashboard
The analytics platform delivers maintenance data ready for you to build your own dashboard: MTTR and MTBF by equipment, backlog by criticality, costs, and utilization.

Frequently asked questions
Does PM Run replace Engeman?
It depends on your scenario. If your operation uses Engeman as its central CMMS and does not run SAP PM, they are different propositions. If you already have SAP PM as your system of record, PM Run covers execution, mobility, and planning on top of SAP, with no second registry to maintain.
What is the difference between Engeman and PM Run?
Engeman is a standalone CMMS with its own database of assets and orders. PM Run is the execution and mobility layer that runs on top of SAP PM: the assets, orders, and notifications come from SAP itself, and PM Run takes execution to the field and returns the data to the ERP.
When is Engeman the better choice?
When the operation does not run SAP PM and wants a complete, standalone maintenance system, with its own registry of assets, inventory, and reports in one place. That is a legitimate use case for Engeman.
Does PM Run have an app for the field technician?
Yes. The technician creates and executes the order on their phone, mirroring SAP's IW31 screen, with a checklist generated from the operation text, an attached photo, and confirmation on the spot, online or offline.
How does PM Run integrate with SAP PM?
Through SOAMANAGER, PI, CPI, or direct RFC, with a dedicated package installed in the customer's environment. Each notification, order, and document is recorded in the Integration Log as success or failure, so you can confirm the data reached the ERP.
