The problem

Your technicians waste time looking for the right documents

In the field, finding the right wiring diagram or manufacturer manual can take long minutes – or fail entirely. Documents are scattered across SharePoint, network folders, local servers and paper binders. In an emergency, this disorganization has a direct cost on intervention times.

Marc, a methods manager in industry, noticed his teams almost never used the available technical documents. It wasn’t a lack of experience: searching was simply too slow and unreliable. By adopting Visionsoft, he centralized all his documents – including those with no structured repository – through a connection with SharePoint. The result: instant access from a smartphone, content search, and direct integration with the CMMS.

Features

What Visionsoft technical EDM enables

A document solution built for operations and maintenance teams

🗺

Location on drawings and diagrams

Access your documents directly from a map, a layout drawing, an SLD or P&ID diagram. Click on an equipment, get its associated documents.

📱

Mobile access and offline mode

Your technicians view drawings, manuals and diagrams from their smartphone or tablet, even in areas with no network. Documents are synchronized automatically.

QR scan and quick access

Scan an equipment’s QR code to instantly access all its technical documentation – no manual search, no wasted time.

🔗

CMMS and EDM interfaces

Documents are linked to SAP PM equipment. A technician opening a work order accesses the technical documents of the equipment directly.

📂

O&M file – Operation and maintenance dossier

Build a complete documentary repository for each industrial asset: manufacturer manuals, diagrams, maintenance plans, change history.

No-code extensibility

Add document workflows, approval processes or custom fields without a developer. The application evolves with your business needs.

Artificial intelligence

AI at the service of your technical documents

Visionsoft embeds two levels of AI to go beyond simple document storage.

Vision AI Maker – Vaia

Generate your EDM application from a description

Describe your document need in plain language – “I want an EDM linked to my SAP equipment with QR code access and offline mode” – and Vaia generates the complete application, ready to deploy without a developer.

Vision AI Agent Builder

An AI diagnostic assistant embedded in your docs

Embed an AI agent directly in your technical EDM. Your technicians ask their questions in plain language – “What is the replacement procedure for motor M12?” – and the agent answers based on your real technical documents.

With Visionsoft, I centralized all my documents via SharePoint. Now a technician scans the equipment’s QR code and instantly accesses its complete documentation, even with no network.”

Frequently asked questions

What maintenance teams ask

Before rolling out an industrial technical EDM

What’s the difference between a classic EDM and an industrial technical EDM?
A classic EDM manages administrative or HR documents. An industrial technical EDM is designed for operations and maintenance teams: it links documents to SAP equipment, allows offline field access, integrates location on drawings and diagrams, and interfaces with the CMMS. Visionsoft covers all these needs natively.
Can Visionsoft connect to SharePoint for technical EDM?
Yes. Visionsoft connects to SharePoint to centralize existing documents without having to migrate them manually. Technicians access SharePoint files from the Visionsoft interface, with field features on top: offline access, equipment linking, QR scanning, AI diagnostic agent.
How does the AI diagnostic assistant work on documents?
Vision AI Agent Builder lets you embed an AI agent directly in your technical EDM. This agent is contextualized on your own documents – manuals, diagrams, procedures. Your technicians ask their questions in plain language and get precise answers based on your real documentation, not generic data.
What is an O&M dossier and how does Visionsoft help build it?
The O&M dossier – the operation and maintenance documentation file – is the complete documentary repository of an industrial asset: drawings, manufacturer manuals, wiring diagrams, intervention history, maintenance procedures. Visionsoft lets you build and maintain this dossier for each equipment, accessible on the move by field teams.
Is Visionsoft technical EDM accessible with no network connection?
Yes, it’s a native feature. Documents are synchronized to the technician’s smartphone or tablet. In an area with no network – workshop, ATEX zone, isolated site – they view their drawings and manuals as usual. Synchronization resumes automatically as soon as they’re back in a covered area.
