Maintenance management system for teams running SAP
PM Run is the maintenance management system for teams running SAP: work orders reach the technician's phone, scheduling runs on a Gantt and data returns validated to SAP PM, with no parallel asset base.
What is a maintenance management system
A maintenance management system, or CMMS, is the software that organizes maintenance orders, assets, plans and history. Companies running SAP already have that central record in SAP PM. PM Run is the execution and planning layer that makes it work in practice: orders reach the technician's phone, scheduling runs on a Gantt and confirmations return validated to SAP.
A maintenance management system when the company already runs SAP
The classic dilemma when evaluating a maintenance management system on SAP is the hidden cost of a parallel base: a standalone CMMS means re-registering equipment and functional locations, maintaining an interface with the ERP and living with two versions of the history. Planners schedule in one system, supervisors demand records in the other, and audits ask which one counts.
PM Run takes a different path: instead of duplicating the registry, it runs on top of SAP PM. The order the technician receives on mobile is the SAP order, the notification opened in the field becomes an SAP notification with cause and symptom catalogs, and confirmations are posted per operation, validated in the Integration Log. The SAP PM integrated software page details this architecture.
In practice the full routine is covered: the digital work order, planning with Gantt scheduling, the period’s preventive orders executed in the app and data ready for your KPI dashboard.
What the maintenance management system covers in PM Run
Every front connected to SAP PM, from planning to field evidence.
Digital work order
Creation mirroring IW31, execution with checklists and confirmation per operation on mobile.
Field execution, online and offline
Android and iOS app with notifications, photos, QR Code and measurement documents, even without signal in the plant.
Planning and scheduling
Backlog, Gantt, team capacity and criticality-based prioritization, integrated with SAP.
Preventive orders of the period
Preventive orders defined in SAP PM are scheduled, distributed by capacity and executed in the app.
Data for KPIs
MTTR, MTBF, backlog by criticality and costs, ready and automated for you to build your dashboard.
Validated integration
SAP package /ITSSPM/ with integration via SOAMANAGER, PI/CPI or RFC and verification in the Integration Log.
Standalone CMMS versus PM Run on top of SAP PM
| Criterion | CMMS separate from SAP | PM Run on SAP PM |
|---|---|---|
| Asset registry | Re-registered and maintained in two systems | Single, the SAP PM registry |
| Work order | Created outside and pushed to the ERP via interface | Mirrors the SAP order from creation to closing |
| Maintenance history | Split between two bases | Complete in SAP, with field evidence attached |
| Integration | Interface project owned by the customer | /ITSSPM/ package with Integration Log validation |
| KPIs | Export and cross spreadsheets from two sources | Execution data ready for your dashboard |
| Technician's routine | One more system to learn | Mobile app, online and offline, with checklists |
Maintenance management with reliable data in SAP
Frequently asked questions
Is PM Run a CMMS?
PM Run is the execution, mobility and planning layer that runs on top of SAP PM. For companies running SAP it plays the role expected from a CMMS, orders, execution, scheduling and history, without creating a parallel asset base. For operations without SAP, a standalone CMMS is the better fit.
What is the difference between a maintenance management system and a CMMS?
None in concept. CMMS stands for Computerized Maintenance Management System. Both names describe the same software category.
Do I need to replace SAP to adopt a maintenance management system?
No. SAP PM remains the central record of orders, notifications, plans and assets. PM Run connects to it and solves what the ERP alone does not cover well: field execution on mobile, visual scheduling with capacity and confirmation at the moment of maintenance.
How does PM Run integrate with SAP PM?
Through its own SAP package, /ITSSPM/, with integration via SOAMANAGER, PI/CPI or RFC, depending on the company's architecture. Every movement can be verified in the Integration Log, which shows whether the order, the notification and the confirmation reached SAP.
Which industries already run it?
Any industrial operation using SAP PM. There are published cases in food (Rivelli), agribusiness (Citrosuco) and metalworking (Bruning), with field execution integrated with SAP.
