CMMS Profile
argvis Maintenance Portal
argvis; GmbH · Germany (Walldorf)
SAP-native execution layer that keeps PM/EAM continuity, with acceptable mobile/offline support; strongest in SAP process fit, but still limited in modern UX depth and open integration posture.

Strengths
- Designed as SAP PM/EAM execution layer, not a disconnected CMMS database.
- Offline-capable native mobile app for technician work in low-connectivity environments.
- Planner-focused SAP board with drag-and-drop dispatch for orders and operations.
- RCA-focused module integrated into SAP maintenance workflows and references.
Gaps
- Ask for a technical workshop on non-SAP integrations and any supported open API scope.
- Validate SSO, audit logging, and role model depth against your enterprise governance baseline.
- Request commercial detail for pricing metric logic (user/site/module) and implementation effort.
- Test offline sync behavior with large media attachments and multi-shift technician usage.
- Ask for a live demo of KPI depth beyond cockpit dashboards (drilldown, slicing, exports).
Feature Depth
| Feature | Score | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Asset hierarchy | | Works directly with SAP technical objects and hierarchy context. Flexibility depends on existing SAP model quality. |
| Asset identification | | QR and NFC-driven identification are positioned for field use. Label governance and scan workflow depth should be tested live. |
| Asset history/docs | | Orders and notifications are documented in SAP context, but history depth stays close to classic SAP-style comment/document handling. |
| Work request intake | | Notification intake and conversion into SAP workflows are clear. SLA-heavy routing and complex triage logic appear limited. |
| Work order execution | | Strong mobile/desktop execution for SAP notifications, orders, and confirmations. Best for SAP-centric process templates. |
| Failure RCA | | Structured RCA module is available and reference-proven. Standardization depth should be verified on your coding taxonomy. |
| Preventive maintenance | | PM continuity is available through SAP logic, but planning depth is standard and below modern PM-specialist tools. |
| Usage-based triggers | | IoT monitoring and threshold messages exist, but trigger logic depth should be treated as standard, not advanced. |
| Machine downtime | | Machine-state monitoring and incident reactions are visible. Deep OEE-grade reason-tree analytics are not clearly shown. |
| Inspections/checklists | | Checklist support is practical for routine execution, but mostly simple and less advanced than compliance-grade form engines. |
| Mobile app | | Native iOS/Android app supports offline work and sync, but UX and interaction quality are dated versus modern mobile-first CMMS. |
| Parts/BOM | | SAP material and BOM-oriented extensions are offered, including dedicated generators. Depth depends on SAP master-data discipline. |
| Inventory/procurement | | Mobile MM-linked reservations and movements are available. Broader procurement governance beyond SAP flows is limited. |
| Planning/scheduling | | Drag-and-drop planning board for technician dispatch is a standout. Advanced constraints and what-if planning are limited. |
| Workforce skills | | Team assignment support is visible, but formal skills matrix and certification governance are not deeply evidenced. |
| External contractors | | External collaboration is possible through SAP-oriented workflows. Dedicated contractor governance tooling is not a clear strength. |
| UX adoption | | Cleaner than SAP GUI and usable for daily work, but the UI looks dated compared with modern mobile-first CMMS products. |
| Reporting/KPIs | | Cockpit-style KPI views are available for maintenance oversight. BI-grade modeling and cross-domain analytics are limited. |
| Integrations/API | | SAP OData architecture is explicit, but open non-SAP API posture appears limited and needs technical clarification. |
| SAP ERP integration | | This is the core product strength: SAP PM/EAM-first execution with synchronized process continuity. |
| Security/admin | | Enterprise-grade security detail is not broadly published. Validate SSO, audit depth, and role granularity in procurement. |
| Automation/workflows | | Threshold-triggered SAP notifications and process automation exist. Broad low-code orchestration is not the product center. |
| Customization | | SAP-oriented adaptation is available, but broader low-friction configuration depth remains moderate. |
| AI assist | | AI assistant is marketed as shipped. Concrete maintenance-specific capability depth remains early and should be demonstrated. |
0: Not offered 1: Basic: usable, shallow depth 2: Standard: expected CMMS level 3: Advanced: handles real complexity 4: Best-in-class: deep, low-friction, governed

Notes
Best fit is SAP-centric industrial teams that want process continuity and a more usable execution layer without replacing SAP PM/EAM. Buy it as SAP workflow enablement, not as a full standalone CMMS alternative.
