One flow, end to end

From the storeroom
to the supplier, in your hand

A real Maximo day, done on a phone. Every step below is a live Maximo record.

01

Spot low stock

Search the storeroom, filter Low Stock, and see balance, reorder point and cost — read from Maximo's own inventory balances.

02

Issue to the work order

Create an inventory usage, pick item, quantity and work order, and complete it. Maximo posts the issue and updates stock.

03

Requisition, approve, order

Raise a requisition with Maximo's prices, approve it, and turn it into a purchase order linked back to every line.

04

Receive the delivery

One tap receives everything still open on the PO into the right storeroom and bin. Stock is back.

05

Lock in the price

Draft a purchase contract, add agreed prices, submit and approve. The agreement is in force with its ceiling and term.

Built for the field

The details that make it safe to roll out

“Saved” means saved

Every write is read back from Maximo before the app says it worked. No silent failures, no phantom records.

Offline-first

Lists are cached on the device and changes queue up without signal, then sync when you are back online.

Scan anything

QR and barcode scanning jumps straight to the asset, work order, location or permit.

AI built in

Summaries on records and an assistant that answers questions about your Maximo data.

11 languages

Including right-to-left Arabic and Urdu, for crews that don't work in English.

Control Center

Admins deploy MaxSphere's object structures and scripts to Maximo in one step, and choose which modules each site sees.

Live in an afternoon

Three steps to Maximo, anywhere

  1. 1

    Connect

    Point MaxSphere at your Maximo Manage URL. Users sign in with their own Maximo API keys.

  2. 2

    Deploy

    From the Control Center, install MaxSphere's object structures and automation scripts on your instance.

  3. 3

    Go

    Hand out the app. Technicians, storeroom clerks, buyers and HSE teams work in Maximo from day one.

Security

Your data stays
in your Maximo

  • Direct to Maximo. The app talks to your Maximo REST API. There is no MaxSphere cloud in the middle.
  • Maximo security, unchanged. Each user works with their own key, so security groups, sites and statuses apply as they do today.
  • Secure on the device. Credentials live in the phone's secure storage; the offline cache stays on the device.
  • Your rules. Status changes, approvals and validations run through Maximo's own business logic.

FAQ

Questions Maximo teams ask

Which Maximo versions does MaxSphere support?

MaxSphere is built and tested on IBM Maximo Application Suite 9 (Maximo Manage), on Red Hat OpenShift and standalone. Ask us about your version.

Does it replace IBM Maximo Mobile?

It complements it. MaxSphere covers the modules your teams use beyond the standard mobile apps — inventory, purchasing, contracts, HSE and more — in one place.

Do we need a server or middleware?

No. The app connects to Maximo's REST API directly. Setup adds object structures and scripts to Maximo itself.

Does it work without signal?

Yes. Lists are cached on the device and changes are queued, then synced when the connection returns.

Can we choose which modules people see?

Yes. The Control Center lets administrators switch modules on or off for your organisation.
