What is ETMnext; How does it work

Construction companies, maintenance services and other industrial organizations have to deal with an enormous amount of equipment, tools and consumables. Mapping all end-to-end processes and data flows quickly becomes confusing, time-consuming and expensive. Moreover, this compromises proper planning, invoicing and decision-making.

It can be done differently. ETM.next is a stand-alone solution for equipment and material management that fits seamlessly with SAP. Software supplier BearingPoint has developed ETM.next to bring together material, contracts, resources and data in one system. This allows companies to keep control of both their projects and their assets.

User friendly

ETM.next stands for user-friendliness. This solution:

• reduces workload;
• increases productivity;
• facilitates joint ventures;
• improves both internal cooperation and that within the chain.

This data can be entered both online and offline via a scanning function.

Current inventory, documentation, certification and audit options per item, site or business partner are available. The organization is prepared at all times, even for unexpected events such as audits.
