Introduction
Financial management and accounting are among the most critical pillars of any successful company. As operational processes grow more complex, it becomes essential to have a system that connects finance with resource and maintenance management. This is where Koshof comes in—an intelligent platform that seamlessly integrates Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) with a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), delivering a comprehensive solution that streamlines financial operations and enhances transparency and accuracy.
Financial Challenges Without Integration
In companies that rely on separate systems for resource and maintenance management, finance departments often face significant challenges, including:
- Inaccurate cost tracking: Difficulty linking maintenance costs (spare parts, labor) to specific projects or assets.
- Complex budgeting: Limited ability to forecast future maintenance and operating budgets due to the lack of unified, reliable data.
- Delayed reporting: The need to manually collect and consolidate data from multiple systems, causing delays in preparing financial reports.
- Human errors: Higher risk of mistakes when transferring data between disconnected systems.

Koshof addresses these challenges by integrating ERP and CMMS into a single platform, providing a wide range of financial advantages:
1. Comprehensive and Accurate Cost Tracking
