Maintenance Tracking Software is a Must-Have for Facilities Management

maintenance-tracking-header
Maintenance tracking software helps organizations manage the servicing and general upkeep of their equipment and assets. One industry in which this kind of software is perhaps most useful, however, is facilities management. A company responsible for multiple facilities across a broad geographic area needs a means to keep up with all of its equipment and assets and their respective data, including their maintenance schedules, warranties and other information.

Imagine trying to keep up with all of those moving parts using an Excel spreadsheet or, perhaps even worse, pen and paper. The opportunity for error is great. Employees are busy, and it’s difficult to keep up with all of the details. Typos, duplication of effort, or gaps in recordkeeping occur. Those mistakes, in turn, can cause great frustration, wasted time and money. Employees have to spend hours in search of lost assets. Missed maintenance can cause the premature breakdown of equipment, driving up your costs. The values of each of your fixed assets must be reported for accounting and compliance purposes. If you can’t rely on accurate data, you resort to guesswork, and that can leave you paying too much. It’s important to note that you don’t just need access to comprehensive data about your equipment and assets; you also need it in real time. If it’s old data, it’s probably not accurate. Many of your assets are on the move, so you need a means to access your information anytime of day with the assurance that it’s accurate.

Your facilities managers, like many of your assets, are always on the move. That’s why any maintenance tracking platform you consider should be available on your mobile device. Ideally, you should find a solution that enables every stakeholder in your organization to communicate about your assets using the mobile devices they already carry. Additionally, because various stakeholders serve different functions and may require different levels of access, you should be able to establish custom parameters based on users and their respective locations.
