How Connected Execution Delivered $15M in Annual Maintenance Savings Enterprise-Ready Scale on AWS

Standardizing Operations, Maintenance, Warehouse, and Safety on one platform—integrated with SAP + OT systems and scaled on AWS.

About the Customer

A leading petrochemicals and polymers manufacturer with a major North American footprint, anchored in the U.S. Gulf Coast petrochemical corridor (Texas–Louisiana) and corporate presence in the Greater Houston region. The company operates complex, asset-intensive facilities where safety, compliance, and execution consistency are non-negotiable. With thousands of frontline workers across sites, the organization relies on disciplined operational routines to protect people, maintain reliability, and keep production running without interruption.

“Adopting Innovapptive has fundamentally changed how our frontline teams operate—work is clearer, faster, and far more connected across shifts and sites. What surprised us most was how naturally the platform fit into daily routines, driving adoption and accountability without forcing change.”

The Problem

  • Cost takeout mandate lacked execution control: Savings targets were set, but plant leaders couldn’t consistently translate them into verified frontline actions.
  • Paper-Based Rounds and Checklists: Operator rounds and checklists lived on paper/Excel, causing missed steps and delayed visibility.
  • Audit gaps + compliance risk: Paper records and inconsistent routines led to audit findings and regulatory fines.
  • Disconnected frontline teams: Operations and maintenance worked in silos with weak handovers and no shared real-time view. Low PM:CM
  • Limited proof of work: No reliable, timestamped evidence of completion, exceptions, and corrective actions.

The Innovapptive Solution

Connected Worker Platform

  • Digital Operator Rounds (Reliability + Compliance): Standardized mobile rounds, exception capture, and audit-ready records to reduce variability and prevent incidents.
  • Mobile Work Execution (Productivity + Cost): Convert findings into work orders, accelerate closure, and capture proof-of-work to cut backlog, rework, and overtime.
  • Value Dashboards (Verified Cost Takeout): Leader-ready dashboards to track execution, savings drivers, and KPIs—turning activity into measurable outcomes.
  • Historian/SCADA Integrations (Speed to Action): Connect OT signals to frontline workflows so issues are detected early, routed fast, and closed with traceability.

The Impact

  • $15 Million Maintenance cost saved (annual)
  • 1,000+ Users Adopted within 7 months
  • 15% PM/CM Improvement Less reactive maintenance, lower disruption, better cost control.
  • Site Expansion Deployed across 18 active sites, with 2 additional sites planned for Q1 2026
  • ZERO Safety Incidents Supported by standardized, auditable execution and faster issue closure.

30-Second Story

How Verified Savings Happens on the Plant Floor

Innovapptive standardizes frontline execution across Operations, Maintenance, Warehouse, and Safety. Teams capture exceptions with context—photos, videos, readings, and notes—then route them to the right owners (Operations, Maintenance, or Warehouse) with clear accountability and SLAs. Collaboration happens in the workflow until the issue is closed with timestamped, auditable proof. Leaders track the value levers that matter—downtime, MTTR/MTBF, PM/CM, and maintenance spend—so hard-dollar savings are measured and verified.
