We know that offline digital inspections are a requirement for so many organisations and we’re pleased to be working with Interloc to bring their latest Inspections App from the Mobile-informer suite to Europe.

The platform, installed as a native Maximo Application, can be implemented remotely and very quickly. Mobile Informer delivers all Maximo Inspections functionality, and more, to a mobile device where it is clear and intuitive. Users never have to consider whether they are connected or not. As long as you are on Maximo 7.6.0.9 or later, you can start creating Inspections.

After evaluating other mobile solutions and approaches, PKPE selected Mobile Informer based on its superior reliability, flexibility, and ability to deliver the full range of Maximo functionality to mobile users.

While working with a national FM company, Vetasi identified a new Maximo Scheduler use case, not previously seen by IBM. Vetasi has raised RFE 136694 to help IBM expand the capabilities of the scheduler for customers with complex scheduling needs.

This Request For Enhancement is the end result of a great deal of work between the client, Vetasi and direct with IBM development. When implemented this will increase the capabilities of this product for dealing with regionalised workforces and help extract even more value from the system when dealing with secondary crafts.
