Revolutionise Inspection Recording & Management in SAP
Product Sheet
Harness the power of SAP system for Ex-Inspections to adopt best-in-class execution, safety, reporting, and continuous monitoring efficiencies with AG’s Ex-Inspections Plus solution.
Current Challenges

This can lead to difficulties in terms of accessing Work Management data as well as inefficiency due to the use of multiple IT systems, ultimately hindering the concept of a ‘single source of truth’ and hence affecting better decision-making.
