We’re excited to unveil three powerful new upcoming features designed to enhance your EBIS experience, streamline operations, and deliver actionable insights faster than ever. These updates will optimize how you manage notifications, visualize data, and interact with EBIS across devices. Let’s dive into the details of what’s coming.
1. Notification Events: Stay Updated with Custom Alerts
Managing maintenance and operational tasks is about staying informed at the right time. With our new Notification Events feature, you can create custom event notifications within EBIS, ensuring that important updates never slip through the cracks.
- Fully Customizable: Choose when and how notifications are sent by setting triggers based on EBIS properties like City, Work Center, Corrective Action, Customer, and Due Date.
- Flexible Delivery: Notifications can be sent to a user’s email or through the EBIS notification system, keeping everyone in the loop whether they’re in the app or checking their inbox.
- Dynamic Content: Use markup tags to insert real-time data directly into the subject and body of messages. Personalize notifications with specific details like location, task status, or customer info for enhanced clarity.
This feature is all about giving you control over your workflow notifications, so you can keep your team focused on the tasks that matter most.
2. PowerBI Connector for EBIS: Transform Your Data Into Insights, Faster
Unlock the full potential of your data with the new PowerBI Connector. We’ve streamlined the data visualization process, beyond the great insights already available in the Advanced Data Analyzer, allowing you to harness your operational insights further without the hassle of exporting spreadsheets or manually running reports.
- Combine Data: The PowerBI Connector allows you to integrate EBIS data with other external data sources that are not natively available within EBIS, providing a more comprehensive view of your operations. For the Excel and data visualization power users out there, this means you can now merge your EBIS insights with additional datasets, such as financial records or third-party analytics, to create richer, more detailed reports and dashboards.
- Faster Analytics: With our PowerBI Connector, you can access additional insights much faster than traditional methods, saving valuable time and resources.
- Self-Service Visualization: Say goodbye to Excel extracts. With plug-and-play automation, you can pull all the raw data you’d typically gather via the external report API directly into PowerBI for real-time analytics and visualizations.
- Cost-Efficient: By standardizing the way data is collected and visualized, this feature eliminates the need for complicated data setups, reducing both time and costs associated with generating reports.
For example, some potential more granular questions to answer as it relates to parts usage might include:
-
Identifying parts causing Work Order (W/O) delays due to unavailability:
- "Which parts are most frequently causing delays in completing work orders because they are unavailable, and how can we visualize this trend over time?"
- "What are the specific work orders that have been delayed due to part shortages, and how can we use Power BI to analyze their impact on operational efficiency?"
-
Optimizing reorder levels and frequency for parts to prevent shortages:
- "Based on historical data, how often and at what quantity levels should we order specific parts to prevent running out of stock, and how can we set alerts using Power BI to monitor inventory levels in real time?"
- "How can we use Power BI to forecast future part requirements, ensuring optimal stock levels and avoiding W/O delays?"
For companies looking to leverage more data-driven decision-making, this feature provides an efficient and cost-effective way to take analytics to the next level.
3. New Mobile App: A Seamless Experience Across All Devices
Our upcoming release of the new EBIS Mobile App offers users a consistent and reliable experience no matter where or how they access the system. Built on a single codebase, the app delivers seamless functionality and performance across all devices and operating systems, while leveraging the full capabilities of native apps to enhance your workflow.
- Native App Advantages: By using the app instead of a mobile web browser, you'll gain more access to device-specific features in the future, such as full use of your phone's screen, faster load times/stability, built in camera functionality for photos along with accurate and quick decoding of barcodes, and utilization of advanced security logins such as Face ID.
- Uniform User Experience: Whether you're on iOS, Android, or using the web app, you’ll find the same features, design, and functionalities, reducing learning curves and ensuring ease of use across platforms.
- Faster Feature Development: New features and updates can be rolled out simultaneously for the web application and the mobile app, ensuring you always have access to the latest improvements—no more waiting for different platforms to catch up.
- Increased Reliability: Consistent performance across devices means fewer discrepancies, improving overall stability and giving you peace of mind when managing critical tasks on the go.
The new app is designed to make your EBIS experience smoother and more efficient, so you can take full advantage of mobile-specific capabilities and work seamlessly no matter where you are.
With these three powerful new features—Notification Events, the PowerBI Connector, and our New Mobile App—we’re excited to help you unlock even more value from EBIS. These updates are designed to streamline operations, enhance data-driven decision-making, and provide a seamless user experience across all platforms. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to evolve EBIS to meet your needs!
