P L A N T M A I N T E N A N C E

personnel to report, plan and execute service work on manufacturing sites. Purchasing of external

items and services is also supported.

V I S U A L P L A N N E R

M3 is great at logic and data, but bad at

presenting it. The Visual Planner App lets you see and interact with data in two or three dimension. For example on a map or on a drawing of a

warehouse. It can also be used for visualizing

freight containers or similar to aid with packing.

F R I E N D LY M 3 P O RTA L

Provides a simple and straightforward user

experience on top of M3. Useful for casual users that need access to some functionality in M3, but do not need to learn the full complexity of the system. Purchase orders,

approvals and invoices are one typical example. Item creation and item data maintenance is another.

R E S O U R C E S C H E D U L I N G

A resource (people,

trucks, equipment) for a logistics company.

Allows work schedulers to easily see available timeslots and people in a set of highly visual

calendar views. This way resources usage is easy to optimize.
