Stop copy-pasting IW37N into Excel.
Build next week’s maintenance schedule in under an hour and write it straight back into SAP PM. No more IW37N exports, hand-formatting in Excel, or re-keying status. Sockeye bolts onto the SAP you already run. We don’t replace it.

You’re not scheduling.
You’re managing a spreadsheet.
- ✗ Export from IW37N/IW38, copy, paste, format, email, every single week.
- ✗ No real-time view of who’s on shift, on leave, or qualified.
- ✗ One break-in job and the whole grid is wrong by Tuesday.
- ✗ No audit trail, when the auditor asks “who changed this?”, you guess.
- ✗ 5+ hours gone before the week even starts.

From SAP PM to a finished week, in four moves.
No rip-and-replace. Sockeye reads your SAP PM work orders, you schedule visually, and it writes the finished plan straight back.
Connect to SAP PM
Sockeye reads ready-to-schedule work orders straight from SAP PM, no more IW37N exports, or start file-based in ~2 weeks, no IT.
Drag-and-drop the week
Build next week visually. Real-time technician availability, PTO and skills are right there.
Balance in real time
Over-allocations and skill gaps flag instantly. Fill every tech to the right capacity.
Write back to SAP PM
The finished schedule, dates and statuses flow straight back into SAP PM automatically, no re-keying.
IT slow to approve write-back?
Sockeye connects to SAP PM two ways. Pick the one your plant can start this month, switch whenever you are ready.
File-based, live in about 2 weeks
Upload the IW37N export you already pull. No IT project and no integration approvals, scheduling value from week one. SAP stays the system of record.
Full two-way API
Sockeye reads ready-to-schedule work orders from SAP PM and writes the finished schedule, dates and statuses straight back, with configurable per-field mapping. Typically 4 to 6 weeks.
5 days of work, now done in under an hour.
“What used to take me up to five days of work can now be done with Sockeye in just under an hour.”Todd Hicks, Planning & Shutdown Superintendent, AV Group (Aditya Birla)
Sockeye reads from and writes back to SAP PM with configurable, per-field mapping, so your data stays in SAP. Cargill runs SAP and replaced spreadsheet planning with Sockeye to free up PM capacity across its sites.
Questions SAP PM teams actually ask
Do we have to replace SAP PM?
No. Sockeye is a scheduling bolt-on. Your SAP PM system stays exactly where it is, Sockeye just fixes the one workflow it’s bad at and writes the result back.
Does it really write back to SAP PM?
Yes. The API integration is two-way with configurable, per-field read/write mapping. Changes you make in Sockeye push back; last-minute changes in SAP PM reflect in Sockeye.
How long does it take to get going?
File-based (Excel export) go-live is about 2 weeks with no IT resources. Full API integration is typically 4 to 6 weeks. Training is ~1 hour, which is part of why adoption sits at 98%.
Is it secure?
SSO is supported, an SAP-matched sandbox is available, and every schedule change is tracked for a verifiable audit trail.
“We built Sockeye because we were schedulers first. We know the Monday grind, the version chaos, the ‘who is actually in today?’ scramble, because we lived it. If your benchmark stung a little, good. That is exactly the gap we love helping people close.”
