Challenge
Service and maintenance processes in wind energy are characterised by:
- decentralised deployments (on- & offshore)
- complex working time models (travel time, standby, supplements)
- high documentation requirements for times and activities
- need for seamless transfer to payroll and billing systems
Existing solutions were either too generic or required extensive manual rework – particularly for offshore deployments with their specific logistical and regulatory requirements.
Our Approach
SWMS Consulting developed an integrated application that covers the entire workflow from deployment planning through field time recording to billing – tailored specifically to the requirements of wind energy service operations.
What We Delivered
- Digital deployment planning with resource and qualification management
- Mobile time tracking app for field technicians (online & offline capable)
- Automated calculation of working time models and supplements
- Export interfaces to payroll and ERP systems
- Reporting and analytics for service management
Result
Manual effort in time recording and billing was significantly reduced, data quality improved and the service management team gained a transparent, real-time overview of all deployments and resource utilisation.
