CUSTOMER CASE

Side-by-Side Application for SAP Asset Performance Management

Bringing maintenance knowledge into SAP Asset Performance Management

Introduction

A leading transportation company needed an efficient way to consolidate maintenance recommendations scattered across multiple external systems and make them available in SAP Asset Performance Management (SAP APM).


Lighthouse developed a side-by-side application on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) that streamlines data migration, validation, and ongoing maintenance of recommendation data.

The Challenge

Over the years, valuable maintenance recommendations had accumulated across spreadsheets, legacy applications, and other non-SAP systems.
The customer needed to:

  • Consolidate maintenance knowledge into a single platform.

  • Preserve valuable engineering expertise for future use.

  • Eliminate manual and error-prone data migration.

  • Ensure imported data met both technical and business validation requirements.

Without a structured import process, transferring large volumes of maintenance recommendations into SAP APM would have been time-consuming and difficult to govern.

Business Value

The solution enables organizations to:

  • Consolidate maintenance recommendations from multiple external sources into SAP APM.

  • Preserve valuable maintenance knowledge within a centralized enterprise platform.

  • Accelerate large-scale data migration with standardized import processes.

  • Improve data quality through automated technical and business validation.

  • Provide full transparency with detailed validation logs and error reporting.

The result is a scalable and reliable process for managing maintenance recommendations, allowing organizations to build on existing engineering knowledge while supporting future asset reliability initiatives.

Our Solution

Lighthouse developed a custom side-by-side application on SAP BTP, fully integrated with SAP Asset Performance Management.
The solution provides an intuitive Fiori-based interface that enables business users to upload maintenance recommendations in bulk using a standardized Excel template.

During the import process, the application performs both technical and functional validation, providing complete transparency through detailed validation logs before data is transferred into SAP APM.
By combining automated validation with seamless integration, the solution ensures high data quality while significantly reducing manual effort.
