Why Teams Switch from ServiceMax to Kolva

Business AI Grounded in ERP Data

Kolva turns intervention, equipment, parts, SLA, and production context into decision briefs, maintenance risk signals, and smart scheduling.

Direct ERP Integration

Kolva connects to the ERP already in place, whether known or custom, without an ERP migration. IT validates technical access; business owners decide any unresolved business ambiguity before activation.

No Platform Prerequisites

Kolva works on your existing ERP without a Salesforce prerequisite. Kolva Field follows the public progressive named-seat grid, starting at 5 seats; Finance, Lab, Supply, Production, Maintenance, and R&D are subscribed separately by business capacity.
