Optimize SAP with add-ons for asset maintenance management

Québec City, Canada – November 2014. Building on 25 years of expertise in maintenance software solutions, COGEP has announced the release of innovative add-on modules to optimize SAP for asset maintenance management. Also available in an all-in-one solution, the modules are add-on versions of COGEP’s flagship CMMS software: Guide Ti.

SAP users with or without Plant Maintenance can now add to their software an easy-to-use, flexible planning and scheduling tool, a dynamic dashboard with real-time KPI monitoring and a mobile app for on-the-go maintenance work order processing. Regardless of the industry, Guide Ti is an invaluable solution for helping businesses minimize repair costs, enhance efficiency, increase labour and equipment productivity, reduce compliance risks and prolong equipment lifecycles.

With Guide Ti, organizations can now start increasing wrench time through efficient planning and scheduling thanks to SmartPlannerTM. Flexibility and ease of use is one of the features most appreciated in COGEP’s solution by thousands of users worldwide. The solution includes Dynamic DashboardTM, which helps users identify areas to focus maintenance efforts. “Users can customize their very own dashboards without any programming skills,” explained COGEP CEO Michel Fournier. “They can now monitor the performance of any of their equipment and their maintenance budget in real time!”.

Fortune 100-listed General Dynamics, an aerospace and defense company supplying major governing bodies such as the United States and Canadian governments, has used COGEP’s Guide  Ti to support the implementation of a reliability centered maintenance (RCM) process. As an experienced user of Guide Ti with 25 years of professional experience in reliability and maintenance management at prominent businesses, such as IBM, Bombardier, GE and PWC, Martin Montpetit knows at all times what is occurring on the production line by processing real-time data integrated into COGEP’s Dynamic DashboardTM and is now able to involve other departments in critical decision-making. Martin Montpetit currently holds the position of Production Support Manager at General Dynamics Canada. On December 11th, 2014, he will share his Guide Ti experience with other maintenance managers at the 29th International Maintenance Conference to be held in Daytona, Florida.
