OPEX

In your daily operation, you get more control over the costs of work orders if you structurally register the hours, materials, and other costs related to work orders. And by also properly registering the cost units, you also get insight into the costs per cost center and per asset/asset type. Using Intuitive Business Intelligence dashboards, you follow the depletion of your budgets in real-time and you detect the cost drivers in your organization so you can adjust. By having technicians work on the go, the input becomes more reliable and a lot of time is saved because the information is available at the right time. Combined with other smart technologies, like automatically processing meter readings and conditions, you can do more with fewer people.

By optimizing your stock management, you reduce your stock and you prevent out-of-stock situations for critical parts. By purchasing more efficiently and registering your contract management in your system, you increase your savings potential. And the potential is even greater for multisite organizations. Integral Asset Management not only offers options for benchmarking factories but also mainly for sharing data. This makes it easier to exchange spare parts and no longer necessary to keep a minimum stock per location. Reducing stock costs and contributing to sustainability.

You can link orders from Ultimo CMMS software to your financial system for a seamless link between your financial administration and the daily operation. In addition to a balanced whole, this results in cost and time savings with a lower administrative load.
