For many years, digitalization in the industrial services sector focused on isolated tools: Maintenance systems, simple mobile apps, document repositories, spreadsheets, and scheduling applications. While these solutions helped digitize individual tasks, they often remained fragmented.

Today, leading industrial service providers are moving toward a new model - one built around comprehensive, integrated equipment management platforms such as ETM.next.

More than a software

ETM.next is not just another software tool. It connects technical assets, service processes, people, and data across the entire service lifecycle. Even in its early stages of adoption, it is already creating tangible value: reducing operational risk, improving efficiency, increasing transparency, and supporting safer service execution.

These improvements are urgently needed. Industrial service companies operate under intense pressure from multiple directions simultaneously. Fragmented systems struggle to keep pace with this complexity.

  • Tight margins
  • Labor shortages
  • Aging equipment
  • Inconsistent docs
  • Regulatory demands
  • Supply chain issues

Changing the equation 

Instead of storing information in silos, ETM.next connects and contextualizes data, from equipment histories and technical documentation to service reports and financial information. It transforms data into operational insight and provides a consistent foundation for decision-making across planning, execution, and operations.
