About this Product
Most asset-intensive plants run maintenance in a spreadsheet or a standalone CMMS that never talks to the ERP — so spare-part consumption, labor cost, and downtime live outside your financials. This extension closes that gap by building maintenance inside Dynamics 365 Business Central.
ECOSIRE develops it as a per-tenant AL extension in Visual Studio Code (AL Language), installed directly onto your Business Central environment — not a generic AppSource download. New tables hold the asset register, maintenance schedules, work orders, and meter readings, while table and page extensions surface assets on the BC role center and link spare parts to your existing Item ledger. Event subscribers post work-order labor and parts consumption through standard BC journals, so maintenance cost flows into the General Ledger and item availability without a parallel inventory.
You get an asset hierarchy (site → line → machine → component) with full service history, preventive schedules (calendar and meter/counter triggered), condition-based rules, and work orders that cost real labor hours and consumed parts. The BC Job Queue auto-generates due work orders; the REST/OData v4 API and optional Dataverse/Power Platform integration let mobile technicians, Power BI dashboards, or Power Automate flows read and update maintenance data.
Because it is build-to-order, ECOSIRE scopes it to your asset taxonomy, naming, and approval flow, ships it with dedicated permission sets, installs it on sandbox first, then production, and supports it afterward. Honest delivery: a defined lead time, UAT on your data, and source ownership — no black box.
What you get
- A per-tenant AL extension (.app) installed on your Business Central sandbox and then production environment
- Full AL source code and the compiled package, with ownership transferred to you
- Configured permission sets for planner, technician, and supervisor roles
- Migration/import of your existing asset register and open maintenance schedules into the new tables
- Published REST/OData v4 endpoints with documentation for mobile and BI consumers
- UAT support on your own data plus a deployment runbook (sandbox-to-production promotion steps)
- Admin and end-user how-to guide covering assets, schedules, work orders, and meter readings
- Post-go-live support and a defined update/maintenance arrangement
Who this is for
Maintenance Manager
Wants every asset, PM schedule, and work order inside the ERP so spare-part consumption and labor cost are visible and downtime is no longer tracked in a spreadsheet.
Plant / Operations Director
Needs reliable MTBF/MTTR and maintenance-cost reporting tied to financials to justify capex on aging assets and reduce unplanned downtime.
Business Central Administrator
Prefers a clean per-tenant AL extension with proper permission sets and event subscribers over ad-hoc customizations, and wants source ownership and a sandbox-first deployment path.

Frequently Asked Questions about Enterprise Asset Management / CMMS
Is this an instant AppSource download?
No. It is build-to-order. ECOSIRE develops it as a per-tenant AL extension, scoped to your asset taxonomy and workflow, then installs it on your Business Central sandbox and production environments. You receive the compiled .app plus full AL source — not a one-click marketplace install.
How long until it is live?
After a short scoping call to confirm your asset hierarchy, PM rules, and approval flow, typical delivery is a few weeks: build, install on sandbox, UAT on your own data, then promotion to production. We commit to a concrete lead time in the proposal — no vague timelines.
How does ongoing support and updates work?
Because you own the source, you are never locked in. ECOSIRE offers a post-go-live support arrangement covering bug fixes, BC version-update compatibility (Business Central ships major updates twice a year), and enhancements. Per-tenant extensions are reinstalled/recompiled against new BC runtimes as part of that arrangement.
Does maintenance cost actually reach the General Ledger?
Yes. Work-order labor and consumed spare parts post through standard Business Central journals via event subscribers, so parts consumption decrements the same Item ledger your purchasing uses and cost flows into the GL — no parallel inventory or disconnected CMMS.
Can technicians use it on mobile or with Power Platform?
Yes. The extension exposes REST/OData v4 endpoints, and we can optionally wire Dataverse/Power Platform integration so a Power App handles technician work-order updates and meter readings, with Power Automate sending overdue-PM alerts and Power BI reading the data for dashboards.
Will it conflict with our other extensions or customizations?
It is built as a clean AL extension using table/page extensions and event subscribers rather than modifying base objects, which is the supported, upgrade-safe Business Central pattern. We install on sandbox first to validate against your existing extensions before touching production.
