Sockeye Technologies

Sockeye Technologies, of Nanaimo in British Columbia, makes scheduling software for maintenance planners. Instead of replacing a maintenance system, it plugs into the CMMS or EAM a site already uses, reads and writes its work orders, and adds planning, a shared schedule and KPI reporting. The company says the product was built by schedulers and took ten years to develop.

What Sockeye Technologies offers

• Schedule building — weekly and daily work order schedules made by clicking and dropping, with a view of available labour.
• Shared live schedule — one searchable, filterable schedule visible across the facility.
• KPI reporting — weekly and date-range reports against SMRP maintenance metrics.
• CMMS integration — two-way links with SAP, IBM Maximo, Oracle JD Edwards, Infor, QAD EAM, Pronto, MainSaver, FMX and others, including an SAP PM bolt-on.

Who it works with

Maintenance teams in manufacturing, healthcare and other asset-heavy sectors use it. Named users include Cargill, NewYork-Presbyterian, Paper Excellence, Love's and Aditya Birla.
