Schwarz Tech: Relies on the Cloud for smart maintenance

Schwarz Tech is sure: smart maintenance and the cloud belong together

Schwarz Tech GmbH was faced with the important decision: Cloud or non-cloud for maintenance? But the choice was easy for the Swabian medium-sized company, founded in 1985: the cloud maintenance solution eam4cloud, an add-on for SAP Business ByDesign, was required. The reasons are obvious:

• Better overview of all maintenance, servicing and repair work
• Fewer disturbances in operation
• Cost savings through automated processes and optimized purchasing
• Documentation and analysis of all damages by mouse click
• Legal certainty with regard to legal regulations and manufacturer specifications – also for the tenants
• The complete financial accounting and payment processing could be automated to 90%.

Growing companies must adapt: Schwarz Tech optimizes processes with eam4cloud & SAP Business ByDesign

External service providers for maintenance, monitoring of its own solar power plant and the lack of an overview of commercial processes: Schwarz Tech GmbH left all this behind with SAP Business ByDesign and the maintenance solution eam4cloud:

Today we plan maintenance in detail and benefit greatly from the good availability of the data. We always have an overview.

Challenges

• Improve preventive maintenance management in the industrial park
• Optimize repair processing
• Establish improved and integrated monitoring of the own solar power plant with a collector area of 8,000 m2
• Reduce downtimes through optimal planning and execution of necessary maintenance and servicing measures
• Comply with legally prescribed maintenance intervals and be able to prove this at any time

Success with SAP Business ByDesign & eam4cloud in action

• Transparent overview: from the processing and recording of fault reports to the management of maintenance work
• All company data is now united in a single system
• At a glance: Lifecycle data for maintenance objects; information on the causes of malfunctions and relevant data for accounting
• Preventive maintenance leads to the reduction of damage
• Purchasing of spare parts is more efficient and transparent
• eam4cloud enables easy integration into the existing SAP Business ByDesign cloud solution
• eam4cloud also has a user-friendly and simple operation and guarantees flexible configuration

With the maintenance processes in SAP Business ByDesign, we can now ensure that maintenance, inspections, and repairs are performed on a regular basis or as needed. If not, we can react immediately and look for a solution

-Wolfgang Schwarz, CEO of Schwarz Tech GmbH

For the managing director it was quite clear: if process optimizations were to take place in the company through the cloud ERP SAP Business ByDesign, then only with the integrated maintenance solution eam4cloud – because only when all data is united in one system, meaningful evaluations can be made and processes adequately traced.

When the Swabian medium-sized company Schwarz Tech needed to improve the control and transparency of maintenance, it quickly became clear that the cloud maintenance solution eam4cloud, an add-on for SAP Business ByDesign, was the right one. Schwarz Tech thus combines the processes for the production of self-adhesive films, for facility management and for IT services. And with eam4cloud, maintenance processes can be seamlessly integrated into SAP Business ByDesign.
