Make optimal use of the specialties of each system, with single data input that is re-used where relevant.
No custom code is needed. With our experience in integration you can automate cross-system processes easily.
When something is changed in one system, the information should flow automatically to all your systems.
Collecting data based on the location of your assets and people on the Suivo IoT Cloud Platform is an important first step in your digital transformation.
But it only gets really interesting when you can connect this data with even more interesting data that is important for running your organization. It is the oil that provides more logic, transparency and ease of use in your workflows.
The link can easily be realized with the Suivo API (application programming interface); one of the advantages of working with an open platform.
The data enrichment you obtain in this way does not only result in extra insights, but also in efficient sharing of information and thus even more optimal workflows. After all, all your processes will be better aligned with each other.
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is software that supports organizations with all kinds of processes. Larger organizations almost all use it now.
An ERP system usually consists of small sub-programs that support a specific task. Business processes, such as stock management, business administration, logistics, customer data and product data, are entered into the system and can be consulted or used by various departments and individuals.
Just think of (automated) quotations, invoicing, planning of staff deployment, sales and purchase orders, etc. Data that is easy and accessible for everyone for whom it should be accessible.
When you do time registration on the Suivo platform, you can link the work of your people to a certain location or project. If you link these data to the data in your ERP system, you can be sure that your time registration and invoicing of the project is always accurate, and no longer an estimate or average.
You don’t just want your customers to be invoiced without errors, you also want your employees or (sub)contractors to be paid correctly.
However, there is so much involved in payroll administration that most companies call (in part) on social secretariats that are specialized in this area.
For the processing of wages, you must have the correct information about the number of hours worked, but also about loading and unloading information and the travel time and manner. This is also information that can be collected on the Suivo platform.
Thanks to the integration between the Suivo platform and the system of your social secretariat or other (internal) HR tools, the payroll administration is simplified and more accurate.
Almost all assets that circulate in an organization – from drilling machines to cranes and vehicles – must be inspected on a regular basis.
Suivo is the right choice for all your asset management: you not only know where to find your materials and vehicles, but you can also see in what condition they are (e.g. ready to use, available, damaged, … or something else). However, Suivo is of course not an inspection institution. There are other specialists for that.
It is not difficult to imagine that an inspection report contains very useful additional information about your assets. Thanks to the matching of the asset information on the Suivo platform with the inspection information, we can speak of a complete database integration. The information and the reports can be consulted from 1 central location and makes traditional silos and separate workflows disappear.
This is a good thing, because it not only saves time and administration, but also encourages the care of materials, prevents premature wear and tear and, above all, increases the safety of employees who use materials. especially the safety of employees who operate and use the materials.
A lot of manufacturers or producers of tools, trailers, forklifts, containers or vehicles build in their own tracking capabilities during production. Still, it’s a good idea to consider connectivity solutions for your assets from a third party (such as Suivo).
The main benefit of a brand-independent strategy for tracking all your assets: avoiding fragmented data. It is much more efficient to be able to access all your data on 1 open platform than one platform per brand. You don’t have to learn multiple platforms and their interfaces, you can always use the same login details and you collect all your data in one central place.
Integration
with operating, processing and control systems and tools (for concrete)
In production environments and in construction, you often have to deal with materials or substances where the composition is critical.
The composition of (ready-mixed) concrete is a good example. The dosage, timing and method of mixing determine, among other things, the quality. These are often precarious processes that are automated if possible to limit the margin of error. Those operating, processing and control systems (in the mixing and dosing industry) can be perfectly integrated with Suivo technology.
Data with regard to location, planning, deliveries, composition, … are no longer ‘hidden’ in different silos. By bringing them together, you can connect the dots and streamline the related processes.
There are many more opportunities where data integration leads to data enrichment and even business intelligence.
To name just a few possibilities: integrations with…
your accounting program
your access control solution
your tools for fleet management
automated parking software
mission-critical communication tools and intervention technology (flashing lights / sirens for e.g. the fire department and police)
