OVERVIEW

What This Means for You

For asset-intensive businesses, unplanned downtime is costly and dangerous. Maintenance needs to be planned, recorded and analysed so assets stay reliable and costs stay under control.

SAP S/4HANA Plant Maintenance (now often called Asset Management) manages functional locations and equipment, preventive and condition-based maintenance plans, notifications, work orders, spare parts and maintenance costs, all integrated with procurement and finance.

Fiori apps support technicians in the field, and SAP's asset performance solutions add predictive capabilities.

Webtel implements each module using SAP Activate and fit-to-standard workshops. Your key users see the standard processes in a working system, agree what fits and what does not, and help test the result. Extensions are built side by side, on SAP Business Technology Platform where appropriate, to keep the core clean.

AT A GLANCE

What Makes SAP S/4HANA Different

SAP S/4HANA is SAP's current-generation ERP for mid-sized and large enterprises. It runs on the SAP HANA in-memory database, with a simplified data model and a modern user experience.

One data model

Finance and logistics share one source of truth, including the Universal Journal.

Real-time

Reports and planning run on live data instead of overnight batches.

SAP Fiori

Role-based apps that work on desktop, tablet and phone.

Embedded analytics

Insight inside the transactions people already use.

Cloud or on-premise

Public cloud, private cloud or your own data centre.

FAQS

Common Questions

Is Plant Maintenance the same as Asset Management?+

Largely yes. SAP increasingly uses the term Asset Management for maintenance capabilities in S/4HANA.

Can technicians use mobile apps?+

Yes. SAP Fiori and mobile solutions support field technicians.

Does it support condition-based maintenance?+

Yes. Counter readings and measurements can trigger maintenance.

Can we implement one module at a time?+

S/4HANA modules are closely integrated, so most projects implement core finance and logistics together. Some areas can be added in later phases, and we help you plan the order.

Do we need extensions?+

Only where standard processes do not meet a genuine business need. We start from SAP best practices and keep extensions to a minimum.

Is training included?+

Yes. Training is role-based and uses your own processes, so users learn what they will actually do.
