Enterprise Asset Management for Transport, Travel & Logistics

People and organisations from all across the world rely on the travel, transport and logistics industries – which is why successfully managing assets is so important.

The right Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) solution should offer a complete solution for managing all types of transportation assets. This includes buses, trains, airplanes, cars, warehouses, picking systems, traffic control systems, and facilities , and all other assets used across the industry.

Your organisation can unlock the maximum benefit when it utilises the leading technology: Maximo Application Suite, along with the Fingertip mobile working solution.

Implementing this software with maximum success requires expert guidance, and that’s where we can offer enormous value. We can help you to improve your efficiency, productivity, data consistency, asset availability, cost savings, and much more.

Unlocking the benefits of Maximo Application Suite

Maximo Application Suite (MAS) makes it easier for your organisation to achieve predictive asset maintenance, fulfill all work requests, achieve regulatory compliance, and maintain a consistent audit trail.

The software also creates benefits for the bottom-line of your company. Whether you are in the travel, transport or logistics sector, you can use MAS to achieve:

Improved efficiency with the enterprise management of fleet maintenance
Value for money from improved asset utilisation
Longer asset life cycles from efficient maintenance management
Better supplier performance from strict contract management
Reduced stock holding meaning less equipment downtime and an improved cash flow.
Improved workforce efficiency and effectiveness.

Maximo Application Suite can be configured to achieve the precise features your business requires. Self-service work requests can be routed directly to the relevant department, and readings for mileage and usage can be uploaded to the system to drive maintenance schedules.

Varying levels of accessibility can be provided to different levels of employees – which can be useful for authorizing work and purchases, managing asset warranties, or reviewing contracts within Maximo.

Travel, transport and logistics organisations often have an extremely high number of employees working from remote locations.

Equipping these experts with a mobile solution, integrated with your main Maximo Application Suite system, provides a huge number of benefits:

Issue work orders in the field
Work online and link data with Maximo in real-time
Semalessly Work offline and sync data once a connection is avaialble.
Enforce processes at any location
Capture hard signature or e-signature for all work, to ensure compliance and anaudit trail
Make inventory changes or order stock during site visits
Reduce paperwork and avoid duplication to ensure ‘one version of the truth’ regarding data

Fingertip also comes with a powerful mobile forms feature, using complex conditional logic to guide your engineers through every stage of an assets’s inspection. Fingertip’s Inventory Management module can also be used to manage and control stock levels.

Case Study: Installing a cloud-based solution at DHL’s UK headquarters

DHL is a leading global logistics company that delivers nearly 2 billion parcels, to over 220 territories, every year. An essential part of the organisation’s UK operation is its critical asset base at Heathrow Airport, West London.

DHL wanted to upgrade its existing EAM solution, IBM Maximo, which included Fingertip and was hosted and supported by us, to an updated version of the software, IBM Maximo Application Suite. We used our experience and expertise to carry out the MAS upgrade, which also included a Fingertip upgrade.

The move to the cloud has already enabled:

Increased asset uptime
Better first-time-fix rates
Improved operational efficiency
Enhanced ability to store data on and offline

DHL’s Fingertip upgrade enables its team to benefit from improved real-time data capture, flexible work processes and faster work progression. DHL’s maintenance teams will also receive training workshops delivered by our team of experts.
