IT BenefitsDirect Connection to SAP. GuiXT is integrated with SAP and it works without changing a
line of ABAPTM code.
© 2012 Synactive, Inc.
Better Quality of Service
Without programming, SAP transaction screens can be tailored to
the narrower requirements of specific jobs in record time so IT can
focus on higher value initiatives.
Better AgilityScreen modifications are completed without touching the
backend.
New releases of SAP have minimal impact.
Lower Risk
Extend SAP to multiple touch points without recoding or reproducing
data and business logic outside of SAP.
Lower Operating Costs
Lower SAP application support costs.
GuiXT is a powerful tool that’s easy to learn and use, requiring
minimal training time to build with simple scripting.

Case Study: Global Supplier of Oil Field And
Power Transmission Products
“Non-availability of SAP System due to network outages caused by RIG
moves, occasional VSAT service disruption, etc caused the inability to update
PM Work Orders. GuiXT Mobile Solution is required for any Oil and Gas
company”.
Business Challenges Solution
• RIG users cannot update PM work orders,
release/approve work orders, or retrieve
information from SAP for better decision
making.
• Manual work because of no connectivity in
plant writing issues on a piece of paper
• Creating Work Orders, Confirming time and
issuing goods for these issues or based upon
existing notifications in the connectivity
region
• Time consumption, leading to a low
productivity rate
• GuIXT Mobile solution was created to
reduce manual efforts.
• Created screens which looks exactly like
SAP screens
• User can create/change work orders,
confirm time, issue goods as soon as
they come across any issues in the plant
with no connectivity
• On single click Upload button, user can
upload all created/changed work orders
with error/success message
• Ultimately reduces time
Case Study: Worldwide Distiller
“In terms of due diligence, it is important we do preventive plant
maintenance. Without a mobile solution, it makes it difficult because
you can’t prove someone will enter the correct data after the fact.”
Objective Approach
• On-going quality and mean-time-to-repair improvements to ensure reliability of equipment and uptime goals
• Need accurate, near realtime data and validation at each place with time and date stamp for compliance to regulatory boards
• SAP screens too cluttered for maintenance operators
• GuiXT Mobile Solution made it easy for
an operator to walk around the plant,
report on faults and go through
compliance checks to make sure work
orders were done.
• GuiXT Mobile Solutions provided proof
the correct data was entered vs. having
to write down maintenance info and enter
data after the fact.
