We hear it every day: Computerized Maintenance Management Software makes facility managers’ jobs easier, saves them time and money, and results in fewer asset issues. Here’s why.

CMMS is a Logistical Necessity that Eliminates Paperwork

CMMS Software’s biggest benefit is right there in the name: by digitizing your maintenance management, you’re cutting out the need for a bloated, tedious, paper-based maintenance management workflow.

Throw away the bulging three-ring binders full of maintenance reports and opt for the option that puts all that data in the cloud — accessible from any device from your smart phone to your desktop browser.

That’s a lot of digging through paper gone, no worries about losing your data — and a bunch more freed-up physical space to boot.

How Does CMMS Deliver a Better Way?

How do you get notified about issues that require maintenance’s attention? You might have a formal request process, but often it’s a phone call, or someone just grabs your maintenance staff in the hall.

With a CMMS, you can invite that requests go through a simple, accessible digital process that’s easier on everyone. The system can explain the information you need, and there you have it. You take the information in and assign tasks as needed.

Then picture this: your maintenance staff come to work in the morning. They open up their CMMS app. All their tasks for the day are laid out in front of them. They know where they need to go, the nature of the issues they’re investigating, when they need to do them, and anything else you think they should have.

Then they go out, do the work, and can report on their task completion right from where they’re working. No paper notes getting lost during the day, no misremembering later on — just clean, accurate, timely information that goes right into your database immediately.

CMMS Brings Unparalleled Maintenance Reporting Power

Because all your data is stored in one central digital location, pulling up reports is trivial.

• Find out how your individual maintenance staff are performing
• Discover trends and problem equipment that requires more maintenance than expected
• Track your assets with asset management and keep on top of repairs and replacements

Basically, you have ultimate flexibility with your maintenance reporting and have instant access to information you might currently need to scrape out of multiple spreadsheets or dig through paper to see.

With this information in hand, you’ll be able to make smart decisions that save your maintenance department even more time and money.
