Pain Point and Solutions Spotlight: Addressing MRO Challenges
This month we tackled two pervasive IT challenges in the MRO industry:
Tedious Governance and Financial Reporting with Dependency on Excel Spreadsheets
Lack of Visibility into Fill Rates
In an industry where precision is paramount, reliance on manual spreadsheet management for financials is more than just tedious and inefficient —it's a risk.
Establishing a comprehensive governance structure to track financials can be a complex and challenging task for MROs with most relying heavily on Excel spreadsheets, leading to administrative burden and resource constraints. Without a clear structure in place, optimizing revenues and cost drivers becomes increasingly difficult, affecting profitability and financial stability.
Implement modern financial management dashboards that automate governance and financial reporting processes. This system should enable real-time tracking of financial data, streamline reporting, draw actionable insights, and reduce dependence on Excel spreadsheets, leading to improved accuracy, efficiency, financial transparency, and clearly presented KPIs (Key Performance Indicators).
Technicians frequently do not know whether the necessary piece parts will be available before they begin working on a unit causing roadblocks mid-workflow, as the required piece parts from the bill of material may not be readily available, leading to workflow interruptions and delays in completing repairs.
Implement dashboards providing visibility into piece parts and inventory, allowing technicians to check the availability of required piece parts before commencing work on a unit, reducing workflow interruptions and delays.
Overall, addressing these pain points not only enhances the day-to-day operational efficiency of MROs but also strategically positions them for long-term success through improved financial health, customer satisfaction, and operational resilience.
