IT BenefitsDirect Connection to SAP. GuiXT is integrated with SAP and it works without changing a

line of ABAPTM code.

© 2012 Synactive, Inc.

Better Quality of Service

Without programming, SAP transaction screens can be tailored to

the narrower requirements of specific jobs in record time so IT can

focus on higher value initiatives.

Better AgilityScreen modifications are completed without touching the

backend.

New releases of SAP have minimal impact.

Lower Risk

Extend SAP to multiple touch points without recoding or reproducing

data and business logic outside of SAP.

Lower Operating Costs

Lower SAP application support costs.

GuiXT is a powerful tool that’s easy to learn and use, requiring

minimal training time to build with simple scripting.

Case Study: Global Supplier of Oil Field And

Power Transmission Products

“Non-availability of SAP System due to network outages caused by RIG

moves, occasional VSAT service disruption, etc caused the inability to update

PM Work Orders. GuiXT Mobile Solution is required for any Oil and Gas

company”.

Business Challenges Solution

• RIG users cannot update PM work orders,

release/approve work orders, or retrieve

information from SAP for better decision

making.

• Manual work because of no connectivity in

plant writing issues on a piece of paper

• Creating Work Orders, Confirming time and

issuing goods for these issues or based upon

existing notifications in the connectivity

region

• Time consumption, leading to a low

productivity rate

• GuIXT Mobile solution was created to

reduce manual efforts.

• Created screens which looks exactly like

SAP screens

• User can create/change work orders,

confirm time, issue goods as soon as

they come across any issues in the plant

with no connectivity

• On single click Upload button, user can

upload all created/changed work orders

with error/success message

• Ultimately reduces time

Case Study: Worldwide Distiller

“In terms of due diligence, it is important we do preventive plant

maintenance. Without a mobile solution, it makes it difficult because

you can’t prove someone will enter the correct data after the fact.”

Objective Approach

• On-going quality and mean-time-to-repair improvements to ensure reliability of equipment and uptime goals

• Need accurate, near realtime data and validation at each place with time and date stamp for compliance to regulatory boards

• SAP screens too cluttered for maintenance operators

• GuiXT Mobile Solution made it easy for

an operator to walk around the plant,

report on faults and go through

compliance checks to make sure work

orders were done.

• GuiXT Mobile Solutions provided proof

the correct data was entered vs. having

to write down maintenance info and enter

data after the fact.
