Preventative maintenance can help enhance the lifespan of assets. It can save money and other valuable resources in the long-term, reducing the need for expensive repairs and replacements. Organizing and streamlining your client maintenance tasks can be the most challenging thing. Inadequate and improper maintenance is one of the main reasons that affect the lifespan of the assets. In an age where smartphones are facilitating different types of tasks, using a mobile cmms (computerized maintenance management system) to organize and automate maintenance tasks can simplify things and provide lots of benefits.
Organize & Connect Your Maintenance Team
A well organized and connected maintenance team means improved maintenance efficiency and productivity. A mobile cmms can allow your team to plan and communicate the tasks. It can help you and your clients in so many ways:
- View and act on assigned preventative maintenance (PM) work orders
- Get instant notifications for each new work order

- Diagnose issues and search for key asset information
Ease of Use
Such an app can be your one-stop platform for viewing all your assets and their PM work orders, work history and reports. And all this information is available on your finger tips or just a click away.
A CMMS can help your team to report issues and create work requests from anywhere. Whether they are the field or at a site, it takes just a few taps on their mobile device to create new work requests. Some apps can allow you to do so even by scanning barcode. New work orders can be instantly notified to the maintenance team. You can capture and attach photos with the problem’s description and also get notifications as and when an order is completed.
Such an app can be your single source of all the information about the asset’s maintenance. You can get all the information and manage the maintenance tasks from one place:

You can generate different types of reports for tracking. Different types of reports can provide you different types of information such as:
- Delivery of proper maintenance work

Track history in future for any evaluation needs and generate useful reports. In an increasingly mobile world, such a system simplifies your tasks by providing all the information and control on your fingertips.
