EAM
The right work, on the right asset, at the right moment.
Most EAM systems sit in the back office. Factorise brings asset management to the floor and tells your technicians what to do next. Sit on top of your existing SAP PM, replace your CMMS, or start fresh. Same outcome: structured maintenance that actually happens, on the asset that needs it, by the person qualified to do it.

Why EAM matters, and why most systems miss the floor.
Enterprise Asset Management is the discipline of keeping your physical assets running. Machines, lines, tools, infrastructure across their full lifecycle. From commissioning to retirement, every asset has a history of preventive work, breakdowns, repairs, parts replaced and certifications maintained. Done well, EAM moves you from reactive firefighting to a structured rhythm where every technician knows what to do next, and why.
Most EAM systems sit in the back office. SAP PM, Maximo and Ultimo do a great job of recording maintenance work after it happens, but they were never built for the technician at the machine. The result is the same in plant after plant. A job gets assigned without context, the technician walks to the machine, finds the wrong parts, has to look up the history, calls a colleague who used to fix it, and starts over. Time wasted, work duplicated, breakdowns that could have been prevented.
Factorise brings EAM to the floor and tells the technician what to do. We sit on top of your existing CMMS or replace it, pull asset and work order data from SAP PM where you already have it, and present it in a mobile, operator-first interface. Sensor data triggers preventive jobs before something breaks. Work orders arrive with the right instructions, parts and skill checks already attached. Recurring issues feed into structured root cause analysis so they stop coming back.
How factorise solves it.
Six components.
EAM
Asset 360
One screen per machine: history, schedule, parts, IoT data, documentation, qualifications. The technician walks to the machine and the next right action is one tap away. No more digging through three systems to find what happened last time.
Mobile Work Order Execution
Work orders with instructions, parts requirements and skill checks, executed on a tablet at the machine. Reactive, preventive and predictive jobs all run through the same flow. Closed out the moment the work is done.
SAP PM, Maximo & Ultimo on the Floor
Sit on top of your existing CMMS through native, bidirectional connectors. The system of record stays where it is. The execution moves to the floor. No rip-and-replace, no double bookkeeping.
Predictive Maintenance
Connect sensors via OPC UA, MQTT, OSI PI or Blockbax. Condition data triggers work orders automatically when thresholds are crossed. From reactive to ahead of the curve, on the assets that matter most.
Spare Parts & Inventory
Critical parts tracked in real time, linked to assets and work orders. Technicians never arrive empty-handed. Inventory movements registered at the moment they happen, not reconstructed at month-end
AI Document Assistant
Ask the machine documentation a question and get an answer. "What does this error code mean?" "What is the torque spec for this bolt?" The technician gets the answer at the machine, not after a 20-minute manual hunt.
SAP PM as a foundation, not a limitation.
SAP PM, Maximo and Ultimo are great systems of record. They were never great execution platforms. Most maintenance teams end up working around them instead of with them. Printing work orders, capturing notes on paper, re-entering data after the fact. The system stays compliant, but the floor pays the price.
Factorise sits on top. Asset hierarchy, work orders, equipment data and notifications flow bidirectionally through native APIs. Technicians work in Factorise on a mobile device, with full context. SAP PM stays the source of truth. Your existing investment is protected, your floor gets a tool that actually works at the machine.
For customers without an EAM system in place, Factorise runs stand-alone with its own asset hierarchy, work order management and parts tracking. Same platform, same launchpad, ready to scale when SAP PM or another CMMS gets added later.
The launchpad
A maintenance technician opens one screen. They see their open work orders, the assets they are responsible for, the shift book from the team, parts requests, and any active issues. One tap brings them to Asset 360 with the full machine history. Another tap starts a work order with instructions, required parts and skill checks. The same launchpad pattern as the operator on the production line, configured for the maintenance role.
Why this approach works.
Most EAM rollouts fail at the floor. The system gets configured, the data gets migrated, and then the technicians never adopt it because it does not work the way they work. Factorise solves that by starting at the floor and building outward. The technician gets a tool that helps them do their job today. Management gets the structured data, compliance trails and analytics they need. Both sides win because the same system serves both.
Built on Mendix, deployed under your own licence, in your own environment. The EAM grows with your asset base, your sensor coverage and your maintenance maturity.
