Sigga: the SAP PM integrated alternative for field and planning
Teams evaluating Sigga already have SAP PM as the central maintenance record. PM Run is the execution layer built by Grupo ITSS on top of that SAP PM: it takes the order to the field, online and offline, and brings weekly planning into the same product, with Gantt, capacity, and the official schedule returned to SAP.
The Sigga alternative for teams already running SAP PM
Teams comparing Sigga with PM Run already have SAP PM as their central record, so the decision is not about replacing the system where the asset, the order, and the notification live. It is about coverage: how far each option follows your process from the field into planning. PM Run is the execution layer built by Grupo ITSS on top of SAP PM, with an online and offline app mirroring IW31 and, in the same product, weekly planning with Gantt, capacity, skills, a daily kanban, and the official schedule of the period returned to SAP PM.
What PM Run covers, module by module, in the SAP PM process
Documented capabilities of the Mobility and Planning modules, mapped directly to SAP PM objects.
Order mirroring IW31
The technician creates and runs the order on the phone with the fields of the IW31 screen, including operations and reservations that pull the equipment bill of materials.
Notification with failure catalogs
Failure recording in the field uses the object part, damage, and cause catalogs, calculates machine downtime, and feeds the history in SAP.
Measurement by QR Code
Measuring point readings are taken by QR Code, hierarchy, or list, and a value outside the limit forces a notification to be opened.
Checklist and safety forms
The long text of the order becomes a checklist in the app, and the team fills in safety forms and surveys alongside execution.
Online and offline execution
The technician opens, runs, and confirms the order with no network, using the local base that syncs once the connection is back.
Weekly planning in the same product
Backlog, Gantt scheduling, capacity by planning plant, skills, and a daily kanban, with the official schedule of the period returned to SAP PM.

Frequently asked questions
Does PM Run replace SAP PM?
No. SAP PM remains the central record of the asset, the order, and the notification. PM Run is the execution and planning layer that runs on top of it, takes the work to the field, and returns the data to SAP.
What is the difference between Sigga and PM Run?
Both reach the same shortlist because your operation already has SAP PM at the center, so the conversation is not about replacing the system of record. The useful comparison is coverage against your process. PM Run delivers field execution, online and offline, and in the same product the weekly planning with Gantt, capacity, skills, a daily kanban, and the official schedule of the period returned to SAP PM. For details about Sigga's product, the right source is Sigga.
When can Sigga make sense?
When all you need is to take execution to the phone and planning is already solved in another tool, it is worth putting both options on the same table and comparing item by item. An honest choice comes from a list of criteria you can verify yourself, with your SAP PM process in front of you.
Does PM Run work with no signal inside the plant?
Yes. The app works online and offline. The technician opens, runs, and confirms the order using the local base, and the app syncs with SAP once the connection is back.
Does PM Run do predictive maintenance or use sensors?
No. The scope is execution and planning on top of SAP PM. The only artificial intelligence in the product is Manu, which suggests order allocation by skill, capacity, and availability, and answers as an assistant. The preventive strategy stays defined in SAP PM.
Who implements and supports PM Run?
The Grupo ITSS team. PM Run is a Grupo ITSS product and today it serves more than 12,000 users.
