Todd Hicks, Planning and shutdown superintendent at the AV Group

TAKE THE FREE TRIALAUTOMATED SCHEDULING
Consistent weekly & daily scheduling
Sockeye integrates with SAP to display ready-to-schedule work orders. Simply select the work you want to schedule, and our automation will assign available technicians and contractors to build your weekly and daily schedules.
All done within one window, in a few minutes, with a minimal number of clicks. It only takes one hour to train a new user.
LABOR AVAILABILITY DASHBOARD
Do more work with fewer resources
Leveraging real-time labor availability, Sockeye helps you level workloads between crews and schedule teams near full capacity — without piling on overtime.
“Sockeye identifies where deficiencies are in your man hours. For instance, if Crew A is 40 hours over schedule, but Crew B is only 35% scheduled, you can move your resources to level it out to avoid overtime pay. That saves you money.”
Todd Hicks, Planning and Shutdown Superintendent at the AV Group
TEAM-WIDE VISIBILITY
Visualize schedules & track delays
Share live schedules and grant custom access to keep your frontline teams aligned and accountable. Always know what is done, what is in progress, what is due next week, and why work gets missed.
There is an emergency or unplanned absence? Easily reschedule work by dragging and dropping tasks to the next available slot.
RELIABLE KPI REPORTING
Keep tabs on metrics that matter
Automatically generate SMRP and custom KPI reports to keep an eye on schedule compliance, labor utilization, reactive vs preventive ratios, and backlog trends. Freely forward that data into Microsoft Power BI or other data visualization tool.
Track how specific work orders impact reliability to understand the effectiveness of your current maintenance schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sockeye uses two primary types of integration:
1. API-Based Integration
Sockeye uses API-based integration to adapt to every enterprise’s unique needs, providing customized read/write configurations with your JDE and HR systems. This means that any last-minute changes made in your CMMS are reflected in Sockeye — and vice versa.
2. File-Based Integration
Sockeye uses an Excel template to port data between JDE and Sockeye — simply export your CMMS data into Sockeye’s Excel template and click ‘refresh’ to update your data. The implementation requires minimal effort and no IT resources or custom coding.
Learn more about integration types
A full production rollout with API integration takes 4 to 6 weeks, while a file-based integration can be done in under 2 weeks.
Sockeye’s experts handle most of the integration work; your IT team just needs to provide access (API endpoints or database views) and some oversight. Because Sockeye is cloud-based, there is no server to install or software to maintain on-premises — it’s all handled by our cloud infrastructure.
Yes, Sockeye offers a one-month trial using our file-based integration. You’ll get access to all of Sockeye’s features and support throughout the trial. To get started, share an Excel file of your schedule and join a 1-hour training session.
The exact data exchanged typically includes work order details, scheduling fields, and resource info. Configurations can be customized as read-only or selective write-back to accommodate your IT/security policies.
Work orders are updated according to your requirements. Typically, work orders are automatically updated when the scheduled work order end date has been reached. Work order updates made in JD Edwards or Sockeye are automatically synchronized in both systems.
Sockeye allows you to input your technician and contractor shift patterns to track labor availability. You can easily edit labor availability for vacations, training, etc, with a couple of clicks.
