Nuremberg is beautifully green. For the maintenance of its green spaces, trees and playgrounds, the city is taking an innovative approach and using an app. The MSB FIVE software from mobisys is used. This is characterized by:

  • Flexible use of
  • Ready-to-use templates
  • Effective, independent programming of new applications
  • Self-explanatory applications with highest performance

mobile: Innovative maintenance in the public sector

At the beginning there is an idea: The city of Nuremberg would like to control and maintain its green spaces, trees and playgrounds with mobile devices directly in SAP. The search for suitable software is initially characterized by a number of challenges. For example, the existing operations management system, including the existing mobile applications, must be replaced - as smoothly as possible, of course. Another prerequisite is the programming of an interface between SAP and ESRI's citywide standardized geodata service.

Simple: maintenance of green spaces, trees and playgrounds via app

With the MSB FIVE software from mobisys, the city finds the right tool. After an initial briefing, the in-house SAP competence center customizes the ready-to-use templates to their specific requirements - and the project goes live in record time. Since then, mobile data entry and order processing have taken place directly in SAP. The app makes it possible:

  • Locating trees and green spaces by integrating the geodata service from ESRI
  • Integration of green spaces into the overall structure of SÖR - Servicebetrieb öffentlicher Raum (public space service company)
  • "Tree planting" in real time in SAP and time recording of the operations
  • Networking of PM, CS and MM in the public sector

direct: benefits for the city visible

Maintenance of green spaces, maintenance work and the creation of new objects are now effectively networked. The traceability and traffic safety obligation through immediate transfer of activities to the productive system is improved and - last but not least - the cityscape is significantly beautified. Self-explanatory applications with top performance and attractive design in the colors of the SÖR make end users happy on their daily city tours.

"After the failure of our previous application, we approached the collaboration with mobisys with a critical eye and became enthusiastic users. The MSB FIVE software delivers what it promises: smooth configuration options, reliable runnability and satisfied users due to the appealing user interface. Especially valuable for us: In case of questions and improvement requests, we always meet open and competent ears at mobisys support."
