PM Run and Produttivo: a comparison for SAP PM industrial maintenance
Produttivo organizes work orders and checklists for field service and technical support. PM Run specializes in industrial maintenance that runs on SAP PM: order mirroring IW31, measuring point, and material reservation, all integrated with SAP.
The difference between PM Run and Produttivo
Produttivo is a system and app for work orders, checklists, and reports for field service and technical support, used by providers in sectors such as HVAC, refrigeration, and general services. PM Run is the execution and mobility layer for industrial maintenance that runs on SAP PM: it takes orders, notifications, and confirmations from SAP to the field and returns everything to the ERP. Each one serves a different audience.
What PM Run delivers for industrial maintenance with SAP PM

Order mirroring IW31
Creating and executing the order on the phone with the fields from SAP's IW31 screen, including operations and reservations.
Measuring point and measurement document
Reading the equipment's measuring point by QR Code, with a limit that forces a notification to be opened when the reading falls outside the range.

SAP failure catalogs
Notification with object part, symptom, and cause catalogs and a machine-down button that calculates breakdown time.

Native integration with SAP PM
Notification, order, confirmation, and measurement document flow into SAP with an Integration Log validating each submission.

Frequently asked questions
Does PM Run replace Produttivo?
It depends on your type of operation. Produttivo serves field service and technical support well, with work orders and checklists. PM Run is for industrial maintenance that runs on SAP PM. If your operation is industrial and has SAP PM as its record, PM Run is the fit; for general field service, Produttivo covers that case.
What is the difference between PM Run and Produttivo?
Produttivo is a work-order, checklist, and reporting app for field service, with its own database. PM Run is the execution layer for industrial maintenance inside SAP PM: order mirroring IW31, measuring point, material reservation, and native integration with SAP.
Is PM Run suitable for technical support and general services?
PM Run specializes in industrial maintenance integrated with SAP PM. For technical support and field service outside a SAP PM environment, a general work-order tool such as Produttivo tends to be a better fit.
Does PM Run integrate with SAP PM?
Yes, natively. It talks to SAP PM through the module's real objects: notification, order mirroring IW31, confirmation, reservation, and measurement document, with an Integration Log validating each submission to the ERP.
Does PM Run work offline in the field?
Yes. After syncing, the technician executes the order, fills in the checklist, attaches a photo, and logs the confirmation without a signal, and the data flows into SAP when the connection returns.
