SEAM has been designed and developed as a consumer grade experience requiring zero training for soldiers. Soldiers can access their equipment records, 24 by 7 by 365, from any device, schedule CIF appointments like booking a restaurant reservation and complete online direct ordering with the same ease as shopping on Amazon.
We have architected SEAM on the ServiceNow platform using a sophisticated hybrid approach that balanced speed to value with Army specific requirements. The Foundation leverages out of the box enterprise asset management and customer service management from ServiceNow, providing enterprise grade asset tracking, service delivery and reporting functionality. The innovation came in our custom development approach, we have built specialized scoped applications to address unique military challenges that no commercial off the shelf solution can handle.
The basis of issue logic, known as BOI, has become the intelligent engine of SEAM, encoding complex authorization rules that determine what equipment each soldier should receive based on unit assignment, military occupational specialty, geographic location and gender.
This custom capability SEAMlessly integrates with ServiceNow enterprise asset management to ensure every equipment transaction is both authorized and auditable.
In other words, we have a solution that, on the back end, leverages robust service now out of the box, application combined with one of a kind, custom workflows required to support one of the most complex logistical operations in the world, the US Army.).
What challenges did the customer face?
An antiquated 15+ year-old SAP system and paper-based work order management processes – for 1M+ work orders annually – lead to inefficiencies and failures in two key areas:
1. Work Request Visibility – Army Leadership had limited visibility into the housing-related maintenance requests of Soldiers and Families, resulting in a lack of accountability for timely and comprehensive repairs.
2. Efficient Repairs – Paper-based work order distribution to technicians resulted in significant time and fuel losses due to unnecessary trips to and from the maintenance shops.
Digital transformation was essential to improving maintenance efficiency,
Soldier well-being, and mission readiness.
How did softact help the customer overcome those challenges?
Before the Army Maintenance Application (ArMA), work requests were manually distributed and documented, and work execution relied on paper-based processes. To address this, ServiceNow Customer Service Management (CSM), Field Service Management (FSM), and Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) were implemented as key, enabling applications.
Our implementation team, consisting of both retired Army officers and skilled ServiceNow practioners, deployed ArMA to fully operating capability in less that 120 days, with initial operating capability achieved in only 68 working days! This extremely aggressive timeline was only possible through the combination of both Army and ServiceNow talent, expertise, and experience.
ArMA has revolutionized global Army maintenance operations by providing a consumer-grade customer service experience for Soldiers, Families, civilians, and contractors seeking maintenance assistance. ArMA ensures a completely paperless work order management process, utilizing photos and videos from both customers and field service technicians, to precisely capture before and after conditions of a particular repair.
How did softact create value for the customer & How was impact measured?
In the first full year, at the firsts two FSM-enabled Army installations, there was a 13.5% increase in completed maintenance repairs as compared to the previous 12 months without FSM.
Using ServiceNow Value Realization calculations, the efficiency gains through increased performance, by using FSM at these two installations alone, conservatively, equates to $2.9M in value for the government and those living and working on these Army installations.
