Your Technicians Spend 70% of Their Shift Not Doing Maintenance
Standard SAP PM turns simple work into screen time, walking back to a PC, and end-of-shift catch-up. Work gets logged on paper, handed over verbally, or never entered at all, resulting in a unwelcome surprise. Liquid UI gives technicians a simple mobile SAP PM flow so work moves faster and SAP stays current while equipment is being repaired.
The Gap on your Plant Floor
Desktop tied+ paper fallback
Paper notes create double work and incomplete PM records.
Handwritten notes get retyped (or lost), leading to missing codes, weak failure history, and poor audit evidence.
Too many screens for basic tasks
Techs navigate 8-screen workflows to just to close a work order. Industry data shows maintenance wrench time averages just 25–35% of a shift.
What it costs you
Unplanned downtime is expensive. Industry benchmarks put it at ~$260,000 per hour (Siemens) for industrial manufacturers. When SAP PM confirmations lag and failure history is incomplete, reliability decisions get made on bad data.
How Easy SAP PM Can Be
The Liquid UI SAP PM Workflow
Liquid UI streamlines SAP PM execution so technicians complete and confirm work faster. Capture notes/photos and post confirmations in one flow to improve wrench time and maintenance history.
How Fairfax Water eliminated paper work orders at scale
Fairfax Water eliminated 90,000+ paper work orders annually by giving field crews real-time SAP PM access, barcode-driven entry, and faster confirmations directly inside SAP without touching the backend.
- Field personnel entered work details directly in SAP in real time (no end-of-day rekeying).
- Automated repetitive entries using barcode scanning and simplified mobile workflows.
IT Confidence
What Liquid UI changes
Liquid UI optimizes the user experience only. SAP logic stays the same: business rules, and validations are untouched. Security and authorizations are enforced as they are today
Devices & deployment
Runs on handhelds/tablets and desktop where needed (Android, iOS, Windows, including Zebra-class devices). Updates are centrally managed so you can roll out changes consistently without rebuilding a custom mobile app.
SAP Native Security
End-to-end encrypted, SAP-native security. TLS 1.3 + SAPCRYPTO with optional mutual TLS, and no SAP data stored on devices by default.
The amount of information that is being put into SAP has greatly increased because we’ve given them a tool that makes it really easy to do it… specifically in one plant they went from creating zero work orders to over 200 work orders in a few weeks
