What are some features of SAP: Service and Asset Manager that Fiori Apps for EAM can't provide?

[former_member844159]

I'm trying to pitch SAP: Service and Asset Manager to a client who currently has no exposure to mobility solutions for Plant Maintenance. The question that I always get asked is that why should we invest in SAP: SAM if Fiori Apps provide us the opportunity for working on the go?

So, are there any additional benefits of using SAP: SAM along with Fiori other than what I've listed below-

1. Native mobile capabilities- Camera for barcode scanning, taking and attaching photos directly to notifications/work orders, touch/face ID for hassle free login.

2. Geo location services (ESRI Maps)- Not useful for this particular client

3. A more user friendly UI than Fiori (for smartphone users)

Any inputs will be really helpful.

Hello, thank you from my side for this question and Zacks comprehensive answer.

But I understood here https://blogs.sap.com/2023/03/20/offline-fiori-app-using-local-storage/ , that Fiori app could deal with offline szenarios as well.

Also SAP Mobil Development Kit / MAIF is available as standalone product for custom app developments, isn't it?
