ALMA is built for the needs of technical industries

ALMA has been developed in close cooperation with customers in technical industries since 1986. Over the decades, we have helped industrial companies, energy companies, water utilities, real estate organizations and other technical organizations improve their information management, maintenance, project management and asset management.

This experience is reflected in a system designed to meet the real needs of technical operating environments.

Companies in technical industries often use several different applications and information systems. Maintenance, documentation, projects, electrical and automation information, and safety-related processes may be managed in separate systems, making it more difficult to use information efficiently.

ALMA brings this information together in one integrated system. With the ALMA ERP system, you can manage the entire lifecycle of a production plant, property or other technical environment, from engineering and investments to operations, maintenance and continuous improvement.

Information created during projects does not remain isolated in separate systems. Documentation stays up to date as changes are made, and maintenance, project and production teams always have access to the same current information.

With ALMA, you can:

  • manage project information and documentation with ProjectALMA, starting from the engineering phase
  • manage technical information and documentation with DocALMA and ensure that up-to-date information remains available throughout the entire lifecycle
  • maintain electrical, automation and instrumentation information with FieldALMA and use it in engineering, operations and maintenance
  • plan, manage and monitor maintenance work with MaintALMA, while making use of project information and technical documentation in maintenance
  • manage work permits, risk assessments, competencies and other safety-related information with EhsqALMA

ALMA adapts to your organization’s starting point and supports long-term development without the need to replace the system.

Why choose ALMA?

Understanding of technical industries

For 40 years, we have been developing processes and systems together with customers in technical industries, maintenance and industrial operations. We understand operating environments where reliability, safety and information quality are critical to business operations.

Developing maintenance and asset management

Based on our industry expertise, we carry out maintenance process assessments, current-state analyses and system assessments. These help us identify areas for improvement and provide practical solutions for developing your operations.

One source of information for the entire organization

When information is available in one integrated system, it is up to date, reliable and easy to find. Documentation stays current, and information flows efficiently between people, departments and systems.

Reliable information for better decision-making

When information about a production plant, property or other technical environment is stored in one system, its quality and availability improve. Reliable information supports investments, maintenance development and day-to-day decision-making.

Reliability throughout the entire lifecycle

When critical information and expertise are retained, maintenance, production, projects and development initiatives can be managed more effectively. At the same time, operational reliability improves and operations can be developed systematically over the long term.

Manage the entire lifecycle of technical information

ALMA is designed to manage technical information throughout the entire asset lifecycle.

Engineering

Information, documentation and engineering data created during projects can be captured and managed from the very beginning of the project.

Construction and commissioning

Technical information is transferred from the project to the operating organization without the need for separate data transfer projects.

Operations and maintenance

Equipment information, maintenance history, documentation and asset information are available in the same system.

Modifications and investments

Plant modifications are documented systematically, keeping information up to date for future development and investment projects.

ALMA modules

Information and documentation management (DocALMA)

Reliable documentation is the foundation of profitable and competitive operations. DocALMA is a document management solution designed to meet the requirements of industry. It provides an efficient way to manage even large volumes of technical information.

Industrial maintenance (MaintALMA)

Maximizing the lifecycle of production equipment is essential for industrial plants. MaintALMA is a modern solution for industrial maintenance and for managing and coordinating mobile maintenance and service operations across different industries.

Project management (ProjectALMA)

ProjectALMA provides centralized management of project information and documentation, from the preliminary engineering phase through project handover and into the maintenance phase.

Electrical and automation information management (FieldALMA)

Electrical and automation information is often interconnected, meaning that a change in one place can affect information in several other locations. FieldALMA automates information management and helps prevent errors.

EHSQ (EhsqALMA)

EhsqALMA brings environmental, occupational health, safety and quality management processes together in one centralized system. EhsqALMA helps improve risk management, quality management and efficiency across your EHSQ processes.

Who is ALMA® designed for?

Our customers share a common goal: solving technical information management challenges and using better information management to develop operations such as maintenance.

The ALMA ERP system has been developed as an integrated software solution for organizations that provide critical services to society and need reliable technical information management.

Our customers mainly operate in the following industries:

Implementing ALMA

A phased implementation based on your company’s needs

ALMA adapts to your company’s starting point. The system can be implemented in phases, allowing the solution to be developed systematically without the need for a large-scale change all at once or a system replacement later.

Develop your operations one step at a time

Many of our customers start with one area, such as maintenance, documentation management or project management. As the use of ALMA expands, new modules can be added to meet changing needs. This approach allows the system to grow with the organization and enables investments to be targeted where they provide the greatest benefit.

Keep information under control throughout the implementation

The purpose of an implementation is not simply to introduce a new system, but to improve the management of technical information. With ALMA, existing information, documentation, equipment data, maintenance history and project information can be brought into one integrated information management environment in a controlled way. This prevents critical information from remaining in separate systems or depending on individual employees. Instead, it provides a solid foundation for the long-term development of production, maintenance and investments.

Expert support throughout the project

Throughout the implementation, our experts with experience in technical operating environments support the customer. Over the decades, we have participated in numerous development projects involving maintenance, asset management, technical information management and investment projects across different industries. As part of the implementation, we can also help assess existing operating practices, information management and the system environment, and identify areas for improvement that help the organization gain the greatest possible benefit from the ALMA solution.

The result of implementing ALMA

With ALMA in place, the organization has one shared information management environment where technical information, documentation, projects, maintenance information and asset data are up to date, easy to find and available to everyone who needs them. This creates a foundation for better operational reliability, more efficient maintenance and continuous long-term development.
