Customise and Lock fields to ensure no alteration by third-parties
ISO 8000 International Data Quality standards built in
Real-time data quality measurement
Real-time data handover
Operational support made easy
Include your maintenance strategy information such as equipment criticality and the response to failure to support the projects spares purchasing decisions
Early access to data for reliability and maintenance teams
Asset criticality can be added to the equipment/tag
Maintenance strategy can be added to inform decision making
Spares review by equipment class, criticality and more
Creation of maintenance bills of material (M-BoM) for greenfield and brownfield projects
Data governance made easy
The governed spare parts data generated from SPIR documents can form the foundations for new Material Master Data or it can be mapped to your existing material masters
Data governance process built in
Required spares can be linked to existing material master records
OEM descriptions can be linked to parts manufacturer descriptions
Elimination of duplicate records
API export to existing systems
Real-time Analytics made easy
Analyse and report on your spare parts data across all SPIR documents in the project, including the cost of recommended spares
Real-time analytics
Live data quality measurement at SPIR level
Live recommended spares cost at SPIR level, OEM level, and project level
Live data quality measurement as Material Master level
Bespoke analytics based on Owner/Operator requirements
CapEx and OpEx is reduced by streamlining the SPIR process and improving data quality
Purchasing unnecessary spares wastes money. Our software provides visibility into the SPIR process that is not possible with the traditional process, whilst improving material master data quality.
Increased visibility allows purchasing decisions, during the capital phase, to be better informed which reduces unnecessary purchases. Improving your material master data quality reduces maintenance costs during the operating phase.

How it works
Our cloud based platform provides a single place to streamline the SPIR process
We have a deep understanding of the SPIR process. Using that knowledge, we have developed a simple, efficient and practical solution. All whilst improving the quality of the material master data created
1. Create your project
Create a project on our cloud platform and invite Engineering Procurement Contractors and Data teams to join the project
3. Upload equipment data
Upload the equipment/tag data onto the platform as the capital project evolves and tag numbers are assigned
5. Report on progress
Report on the progress of every SPIR document in real time, allowing complete transparency and continuous document handover
7. Add repairs strategy
Add fields to capture your repair or maintenance strategy, so that this information is accounted for when making purchasing decisions
2. Define your document
Select the fields you require for the entire SPIR document. Create list of values and control data types to govern the data
4. Assign SPIRs to OEMs
Group equipment/tags together into different SPIR documents and invite Equipment Manufacturers to populate the document
6. Analyse spare parts data
Analyse and report on the spare parts data including on the cost of the recommended spares and the completeness of individual fields
8. Create material masters
Create new material master records from the spare parts data or link the new records to existing material masters in your ERP system
