IBsolution and koenig.solutions have entered into a partnership that is primarily aimed at companies in the energy sector. At the heart of the cooperation is the seamless integration of SAP Field Service Management (FSM), a software for mobile workforce management, into SAP Industry Solutions for Utilities (IS-U), the leading industry solution for utilities. Various fixed-price packages with different scopes of services are available.
IBsolution combines its comprehensive expertise in SAP FSM and the integration of SAP solutions with the extensive industry knowledge and process know-how of koenig.solutions, especially in the utilities sector. In this way, both partners create an offering that specifically addresses the needs of players in the energy supply market. The highly dynamic nature of the energy market poses enormous process-related challenges for network operators and utilities. In view of the energy transition and new legal requirements, smooth process handling, economic resource planning and optimized service are becoming increasingly important success factors.
“For companies in the energy sector, it is elementary to efficiently dispatch their service technicians and support them in the field with appropriate software,” says Loren Heilig, Managing Director of IBsolution. “Thanks to our partnership with koenig.solutions, we are able to create suitable packages that help utilities optimize their processes.” Thanks to the seamless integration of SAP FSM in SAP IS-U, the entire service process can be mapped digitally – from the request to deployment planning and execution to reporting and invoicing.
“The cooperation with IBsolution creates valuable synergies so that we can offer our customers in the energy sector integrated solutions that make their daily work noticeably easier and speed up processes,” says Gottlieb König, Managing Director of koenig.solutions. “In this way, we are driving digitalization and automation in the energy sector.”
The seamless integration of SAP FSM into SAP IS-U pays off in two areas in particular. On the one hand, this concerns grid operators, who secure the power supply by maintaining and expanding the infrastructure. On the other hand, metering point operators are faced with the task of installing intelligent metering systems in the coming years due to legal requirements. The enormous number of devices to be installed makes efficient processes and time- and cost-optimized on-site deployments necessary. This is exactly where the partnership between IBsolution and koenig.solutions results in numerous advantages that benefit companies in the energy sector and strengthen their competitiveness.
