The IMPACTxp maintenance and facilities management solution can interface with a large number of industry leading ERP and accounts systems. In many cases the IMPACTxp inventory management and purchasing modules are used to cater for engineering spares and the interface passes details of material usage and orders to the accounts or ERP system for final payment and analysis in the general ledger. In other scenarios the ERP solution is used for stock control and purchasing and IMPACTxp simply places a demand for materials in the third party system, or receives details of unplanned issues made against IMPACTxp work orders.

Interfaces have been developed for the following systems:

	IMPACTxp working alongside MFG/PRO
Baan Infinium J D Edwards Mapics Micabuild PeopleSoft SAP Sun Accounts Chemical levels Physical tolerance

IMPACTxp can link to mapping and intelligent drawing systems to provide “Visual Search” facilities, which allow an operator to select plant items from a drawing.

These facilities are currently available with the following packages:
