CENTER HARBOR, NH – June 13, 2013 – Smartware Group, Inc., provider of the cloud-based Bigfoot CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management Software), introduces Bigfoot Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) integration, a customized solution that integrates asset maintenance data with ERP systems to help customers eliminate double data entry, achieve greater process automation, and reduce operating costs. This latest Bigfoot solution widens the maintenance software options available to organizations tied to a particular ERP system.

“As we continue to expand Bigfoot CMMS’s reach into larger enterprises – while preserving our signature ease-of-use and superior customer service – we’re now adding a customizable interface to synchronize CMMS work order and preventive maintenance data with ERP business processes,” said Paul Lachance, president and CTO of Smartware Group, Inc. “Now organizations no longer need to compromise simplicity for data integration; customers can have it all with Bigfoot CMMS.”

Typical points of integration include (but are not limited to): spare parts inventory management, purchase orders/requisitions, and related cost information. An example of Bigfoot ERP Integration can occur when a work order requires spare parts to be used. Those parts are noted in the Bigfoot CMMS work order, but also seamlessly adjusted within inventory and order management on the ERP side.

“ERP systems are diverse and can be complex,” Lachance added. “Our flexible interfacing technology allows us to match up these systems so our customers can enjoy a best-of-breed CMMS solution with their current ERP system.”
