The need for unified, global platform
What began as local, independent maintenance practices had outgrown spreadsheets and fragmented processes. The company needed a unified, global platform that could streamline operations, improve visibility, and support rapid growth.
About Akuo
Akuo develops, builds, and operates renewable energy projects across the full lifecycle, spanning wind, solar, and storage. Solar and storage sites are typically maintained by Akuo’s own teams, while wind turbines are serviced mainly by manufacturers or specialized subcontractors. This created a diverse maintenance environment, with teams operating on different methods, tools, and levels of maturity. Many sites relied on Excel spreadsheets, creating inefficiencies and inconsistent reporting across the organization. Remote locations further compounded the challenge, requiring mobility, offline functionality, and simplicity for technicians working far from headquarters.
Partnering with Inoteam
Recognizing the need for both technology and expertise, Akuo partnered with Inoteam, a consultancy firm with deep Ultimo experience and a trusted history with Akuo’s leadership. Engaging directly with site teams, observing workflows and gathering insights revealed the true operational needs behind Akuo’s maintenance challenges.
Akuo selected Ultimo for its configurability, mobile and offline capabilities, multi-language and multi-currency support, and global scalability. The system could serve both internal technicians and subcontractors, standardize processes across regions, and provide a unified platform for reporting and traceability.
Ultimo was rolled by Inoteam out to pilot sites in under six months, with a condition that the project could be paused if technicians did not adopt the system. The pilot quickly demonstrated value: refinements to the mobile interface, streamlined workflows, and field-based stock management made it easier for technicians to record work in real time and reduce administrative burden.
With the pilot’s success, Ultimo expanded to over 80 sites and 12 regional teams.

Tangible results
Camille Kovacic, Product Owner at Akuo, describes the impact:
“In 2025, seven technicians using Ultimo collectively saved over 77 working days - 41 days on corrective tasks and 36 days on periodic maintenance reports. Oversights are reduced thanks to automated task generation, and our centralized equipment database is already improving traceability across every region."
Ultimo also helped foster cultural alignment. Teams that once operated independently began sharing best practices, supported by ongoing training and active feedback loops. Camille emphasizes the role of continuous engagement:
“We still have adoption challenges, but we have ongoing collaboration with our teams on site. Their feedback guides our improvements every day.”
Ready for the future with a central operations hub
Looking ahead, Akuo plans to expand Ultimo beyond maintenance into health, safety, and environment (HSE) modules and explore AI-driven insights for predictive planning and performance optimization. With full deployment planned for 2026, the company projects more than 200 working days saved annually - 94 days in corrective work and 107 days on periodic maintenance reports - as all 16 technicians adopt the platform. The platform is now positioned as a central operational hub, supporting both technicians and management teams across the organization.
Partnership, transparency & focus
The success of the project rests on partnership, transparency, and a focus on value over features. Victor Otto, Senior Consultant at Inoteam highlights this philosophy: “It was important to do what we needed, not just what we wanted. That focus ensured that Ultimo would really fit our operations.”
From fragmented, local methods to a coherent global framework
Today, Ultimo is a daily tool for technicians worldwide, reducing administrative workload, unifying processes, and giving leadership the visibility they need to manage renewable assets at scale. Akuo has moved from fragmented local methods to a coherent global maintenance framework, fully equipped to support the demands of a growing renewable energy portfolio.

I’m thrilled to announce that Ultimo picked up the prestigious Best Asset Management Innovation Impact Award at the International Maintenance Conference (IMC) gala ceremony last week. This recognition reflects our relentless commitment to transforming enterprise asset management (EAM) through innovation.
The enterprise asset management (EAM) market is booming. The global market size was estimated at USD 7.65 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 19.68 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 17.2 percent from 2025 to 2030. Everyone's talking about artificial intelligence (AI) transformation, and for good reason. Intelligent algorithms promise to revolutionize how we work; how we predict failures, optimize maintenance schedules and manage assets. Forty percent of enterprise applications will be integrated with task-specific AI agents by 2026, up from less than 5 percent today, according to Gartner.
For more than fifteen years Ultimo software has supported extensive asset management and maintenance. Recently the organisation has transitioned to the cloud.
