To date, Mobility Work offers two types of integrations aimed at simplifying the management of your equipment and spare parts.
SFTP
The SFTP solution allows you to regularly update your spare parts inventory, with a frequency of up to one or two times per day, using a standard CSV file.
It facilitates importing data from a variety of systems, whether ERPs or even Excel files, into Mobility Work. This approach is distinguished by its ease of deployment and relatively low cost.
However, it is important to note that this solution does not guarantee real-time updates, which may result in data discrepancies. Additionally, it only works for updating data from a third-party system to Mobility Work. It is worth noting that this solution is exclusively dedicated to updating existing data, not creating new spare parts in Mobility Work.
API
In order to meet the needs of managing large volumes of updates and to allow near real-time updates, Mobility Work offers an API specifically for managing equipment and spare parts.
This API is specially designed to optimize the inventory update process, particularly when triggered by movements initiated by a third-party system.
Note that this solution is developed for updating data only from a third-party system to Mobility Work, but it can work with most ERPs (SAP, JD Edwards, QAD, etc.)
What actions can be managed for machine park with the API?
Create spare part(s)
To automate the creation of your spare parts, avoid manual processes or imports by using our spare parts creation API.
You can provide all necessary information for creation, such as external reference, name, description, unit price, quantity, minimum and maximum stock levels, cost center, etc.
This API is available for all plans (Starter, Premium, Ultimate).
Update spare part(s) information
This API allows you to update information for existing spare parts in the application. You can modify all data, including labels, custom fields, replenishment lots, etc.
It is also possible to delete certain existing values in the application, such as a minimum stock level for a part.
Available for all subscription plans.
Bulk Stock Movement
The bulk stock update API allows you to quickly conduct an inventory of your spare parts.
Accessible for all subscription plans.
Create equipment(s)
This API allows you to create up to 10,000 pieces of equipment in a single call. During creation, you can enter all associated information (description, GTIN, cost center, labels, custom fields, etc.).
Available for all plans.
Update equipment(s) information
The equipment update API allows you to modify information for existing equipment in the application.
This API is available for Premium and On demand plans.
Create storage location(s)
The Create storage locations API allows you to define locations for your spare parts.
Available for Premium and On demand plans.
Relocate spare part(s)
If you need to change the physical location of your spare parts, you can do so via this API. It is available for Premium and On demand plans.
You can find the complete documentation here: https://docs.api.mobility-work.com/.
To use our public API, you must obtain an API key from your Account Manager.
What maintenance actions can you automate with the Mobility Work API?
In addition to easily and automatically managing your machine park, the Mobility Work API offers advanced features to manage maintenance quickly and fully automatically.
You can initiate the creation of one-time intervention requests by specifying the affected equipment, intervention start and end dates, assigned managers, etc.
Furthermore, the API allows you to trigger a maintenance plan from an external trigger. This allows you to automatically generate maintenance tasks from external systems, such as PLCs, ERPs, or IoT sensors, without manual entry, as soon as an event or external value is detected. A simple call to this API can thus automatically initiate an intervention request, without any manual intervention at the time.
Notification system to track key maintenance events
The Mobility Work API also allows you to receive real-time notifications regarding important events related to your maintenance. This includes, for example, the addition of new tasks (and all task statuses, such as adding activities, closing, or starting the task), the creation of new intervention reports (activities), stockouts, or any other event relevant to your operational process.
