3. Organized stock room(s) All parts are accounted for in X3 All transactions recorded in X3

4. Cut downtime with accurate inventories Minimize expedited shipping costs Optimize the on-hand level of parts Identify and leverage quantity buying power

5. Reduce expedited shipping costs – it is not unusual for expedited shipping on one part to exceed $500. If this happens only once every 2 weeks, that is $13,000 a year wasted on shipping. According to Maintenance Planning, Scheduling, and Coordination By Don Nyman and Joel Levitt, up to 25% of equipment downtime is due to lack of parts and materials on hand. Benefits You Can Realize

31. Interfacing between applications can be as simple as importing data from one application to another or as complex as real-time data processing between applications. Every integration project is defined according to the individual functional requirements of each customer. eMaint can develop the functional and technical specification for the project, or design the interface based on your specs.
