SAP PM Alternative: Modern, mobile maintenance with remberg

SAP PM is the reliable backbone of your maintenance organization.
It reliably manages technical locations, work orders and cost centres. But in practice a different picture often emerges: as soon as your technicians must work mobile, the proven system becomes a hurdle. What convinces in theory often fails in the field due to the lack of user‑friendliness.

You probably know the consequence from your everyday life: work orders are printed out, feedback is noted on scraps of paper and photos are awkwardly sent by email or chat. The result of these media breaks is duplicate work, incomplete data and a frustrated team.

You are likely looking for an SAP PM alternative for mobile use and for a solution that does not replace your existing system, but makes it simple, mobile and intuitive.

remberg: the mobile maintenance app as frontend for your SAP PM

‍This is exactly where the remberg App comes in. As a mobile, cloud‑based frontend the maintenance software complements your SAP PM exactly where it matters most: directly at the technician’s site.

The principle is simple and effective:

• SAP PM remains your “system of record” — it is and remains the leading source for master data, costs and planning.
• remberg becomes your “system of action” — the modern interface through which you and your team execute all tasks and access all information in a mobile, user‑friendly and fast way.

So you keep your central ERP system and overlay a mobile layer with remberg. In this way your SAP becomes not only accessible, but also ready for the future with AI applications.

What your technicians really need: functionalities for mobile maintenance

‍The requirements for modern mobile maintenance are clearly defined. remberg covers them — and thus becomes the indispensable app for your team:

• All work orders on the smartphone: See personal and open orders directly on tablet or smartphone.
• Smart maintenance planning: Filter and sort orders by plant, priority or status — no SAP screens needed.
• Mobile notifications in seconds: Capture malfunctions immediately via QR or barcode scan directly at the equipment.
• Seamless documentation: Attach photos, videos and documents directly to the work order — no detours.
• Data always available: Access technical drawings, data sheets and the full asset history on mobile.
• Digital feedback: Record working time, consumed spare parts and digital signatures right in the app.
• Offline functionality: Continue to work even without network connection — data is automatically synced once you’re back online.

The goal: radically simplify processes, increase data quality and boost acceptance across the maintenance team.

Seamless integration: how remberg and SAP PM work together

‍Implementation of remberg takes place without risky changes. The app integrates seamlessly into your existing SAP landscape — via standardised interfaces (e.g. OData APIs, BAPIs) and integration platforms such as SAP BTP.

The data flow is clearly defined:

• Master data: from SAP → to remberg
• Reactive maintenance: work order in SAP → mobile execution in remberg → feedback to SAP
• Preventive maintenance: maintenance plan in SAP → work orders executed mobile in remberg
• Material consumption: posting in remberg → automatic posting in SAP inventory

Thus SAP remains the leading system, while remberg makes the operational layer mobile, light and efficient.

A typical day in mobile maintenance

‍Imagine a technician from your team standing in front of a piece of equipment. She scans the QR code with her smartphone and immediately sees all open work orders in the remberg app.
She starts the maintenance, documents her work with photos, records her time and posts the consumed spare parts. After completion everything is automatically and error‑free synchronised with SAP.
The result:

• No paperwork
• No duplicate data entry
• Better data quality in SAP
• Faster response times

‍

The impact in numbers: measurable successes

‍Companies that use remberg as a mobile frontend for SAP PM achieve clear results:

• 30‑50% faster handling of incidents
• 3‑5x better data quality in the SAP system
• Up to 20% higher asset availability
• Less training effort and higher team satisfaction

Thus remberg not only increases efficiency but also delivers the data basis for intelligent, connected maintenance of the future.
