HxGN EAM is a highly configurable and extensible software product that can be customized and modified to fit your business operations best. EAM has seemingly endless modules and capabilities, but we occasionally encounter requests that cannot be completed or configured within EAM itself. Custom application development can bridge that gap.

DigitalThinker can develop custom software to enhance and extend the EAM experience, turning a good solution into a great solution that exactly fits your needs.

A custom solution can be tightly integrated with EAM, such as a complex function combining user-defined screens, flex, and grids or an Extensibility Framework script. Extensibility Framework allows a web developer to modify the EAM web browser based on the screen experience for the end user.

Some examples we have implemented through application development

application fields icon

Dynamic Field Rules

Dynamically changing the Required/Optional/Hidden rules for fields on the fly based on values in other fields.

Field lookup icon

Custom Lookup Values

Creating custom lookup or filtering lookup values based on other field values on screen, prior to saving the record.

Currency conversion icon

Secondary Currency

Add a secondary currency to the PO and requisition screens to provide on-the-fly currency conversions to a standard currency for POs generated in a different currency.

Click Menu Icon

Right Click Context Menus

Add right-click context menus to existing grids that provide options to get more detailed information. For example, displaying work order comments or task plans on any grid that shows work orders. This can be very helpful when scheduling or when reviewing the history of an asset’s maintenance.

Custom solutions can also be more loosely coupled to EAM.

Complete stand-alone applications, which will interface with EAM but provide separate functionality, are built in these cases. These applications help to integrate the EAM experience into your organization’s processes in a seamless way.

Some examples of custom solutions that are currently in development:

example of custom solution in development
  • A self-checkout storeroom application that can provide a user-friendly experience in checking out parts to work orders through a handheld barcode scanner.
  • An automated quote process where vendors can review a quote online and submit pricing automatically, feeding back into EAM and eliminating error-prone manual entry.
  • A website solution to support Requisition or Purchase Order approvals that automatically updates EAM, reducing the need for user licenses for users that only need to review and approve.

Custom development does not have to be tied into EAM at all. DigitalThinker’s application development expertise can be applied to any business process.

If you have a need that cannot be solved by off the shelf software, we can build a solution.

We have experience in writing web, mobile, and desktop applications and can apply that expertise to turn your challenges into opportunities for improvement.
