Maintenance Tracking Systems Bring all of Your Players Into the Game

Maintenance tracking systems are vital to your bottom line, no matter your industry or the size of your organization. Within any company, you’ve got equipment that requires periodic inspection, service and repair. If you don’t have a thorough and accurate maintenance history for each of those items, the first time you’re likely to realize that an item needs servicing is when it breaks down. By then, you could be looking at a costly fix or even replacement. You may not know whether the repair is covered under warranty, or whether your warranty has expired.

On the other side of the equation, if you’re a company who provides equipment maintenance to other companies, you’re faced with the significant task of managing your own inventory of tools, the respective warranty information on each of those items, plus the work order schedule and the status of each of those work orders, your crew of technicians and their calendars.

Maintenance tracking systems can close the communication loop among all of these parties, creating efficiencies and saving everyone time, money and frustration. In the past, companies have relied on Excel spreadsheets to record their asset tracking data. That process is not only outdated, but unreliable and extremely limited. First of all, manual tracking is an open invitation for error. A missed keystroke, oversight or typo can throw off your records. Staff reorganizations, an employee who leaves the company or other transition could cause gaps. And an Excel spreadsheet is a difficult mode of communication when multiple stakeholders are involved.

Thankfully, technology has ushered maintenance tracking systems into the 21^st Century; but not all software products are created equal. Their capabilities, flexibility and price point vary significantly. Given that many parties are involved in the lifecycle of any fixed asset, you need a maintenance tracking system that’s simple to use, yet powerful and flexible enough to adapt to your needs.
