For any multi-site facilities leader or plant manager, the inefficiencies in the parts and materials supply chain and buying process results in technicians wasting at least a quarter of their time searching or shopping for parts. And it’s a HUGE chunk of their budget as well. That’s why more and more multi-site FM professionals and plant maintenance teams are moving to a single spare-parts management platform to reduce cost and waste.
SDI’s Mobile Applications Available on the iPhone App Store:
As part of an SDI Integrated Parts Management pro- gram, Enterprise MRO package, or MRO as-a-Service solution, customer maintenance teams and field technicians are empowered to use a single mobile app to order many of the common items they need.
They use this same app to place non-catalog items as well. They can upload photos of the part, equipment name plates, etc for any items they need, all while standing right in front of the equipment on the job site. They also have access to bill of mate- rials, quick reference guides, and manuals on the equipment they’re service right in the app. This saves a tremendous amount of time in going back to the truck or shop to locate a manual.
Technicians increase their wrench time by putting all their purchases in one location.
Utilize the supplier call-in function to place orders for pick up at their preferred local supply branches, and better plan maintenance schedules and routes.
Punch out from the app to the larger catalogs of participating suppliers, drawing all their shopping carts into one central platform.
Integrate with your WOM or CMMS system to pass information via APIs, to connect purchases to the work order, which provides benefits in productivity downstream.
Combined with SDI Sourcing & Procurement services, the platform enables technicians to perform one-stop shopping for repair materials, eliminating the time-consuming exercise of going from supplier to supplier searching and ordering material required for repairs.
Access a single hosted catalog of stock FM parts, MRO, PPE and essential materials from anywhere. Order direct from suppliers using a punch out feature that conveniently ties each ordered part to the work order management system, tracking everything in one place.
The SDI Tech Vault houses up-to-date service manuals, parts lists, reference material, training videos, and more to aid in the maintenance of client-specific assets. The vault is cloud-based and accessible via login credentials provided by SDI. We've optimized it for easy searchability and viewing on mobile devices, laptops, and tablets.
