Data and integration planning
Build around the systems you already use.
Start by mapping where equipment data lives today. Assess spreadsheets, ERP or CMMS records, monitoring platforms, and available interfaces before committing to an integration approach.
- Identify source systems and data ownership
- Map assets consistently across systems
- Assess APIs, approved exports, and data quality
- Define access, update frequency, and exception handling
Named integrations are not assumed to be available. Compatibility, access, and implementation effort are confirmed in discovery.
The working process
A documented connection plan with clear boundaries.
Typical owners: Operations owner · IT lead. The following workflow is a starting point for solution design.
Coordinate the decision
Choose the source of truth and map fields, timing, and exception handling
Complete the handoff
Validate sample records and acceptance criteria before expanding the connection
Before implementationAgree the details
Agree the details
that make it work.
Define a bounded first phase, identify the records it relies on, and agree how the team will assess the result.
Discovery should establish
- Read and write responsibilities
- Authentication and access scope
- Error handling and reconciliation
Workflow design, data connections, and delivery scope are confirmed for each engagement.

Equipment history and asset management
Give every asset a record that connects its identity, location, documents, and service history.
Operations reporting
Review maintenance backlog, job progress, repair turnaround, and commercial performance.
Predictive maintenance
Use available equipment condition data and service history to identify what deserves attention next.
