Maintenance apps give you the tools you need to plan, analyze, monitor, and document. There are all sorts of apps to help tackle all aspects of your job, so you can focus on the big picture. Apps provide organization, the convenience of having all the information in one place, and the ability to get the data you need to make important decisions.
Scheduling
From the most basic to more advanced, scheduling is a component offered by most of these apps. Manage your maintenance schedule better with quick access to information about recent and upcoming repairs and get reminders when your equipment will be down or needs scheduled servicing. Add weekly, monthly or seasonal checklists to customize a schedule that works for you. Getting everything in one schedule will make your life easy and make big budget surprises few and far between.
Reporting
Whether you’re interested in a broad overview or getting granular, financials can become simpler with the help of technology. Apps allow you to generate reports addressing asset management, document life cycle, and budget for future expenses.
Some of the higher-end apps offer tools to monitor performance as specific as noise, vibration, corrosion, temperature, flow, lubrication, and wear. Once you set your thresholds, you will always know exactly how your equipment is performing.
Workflow
Looking to make your workflow more efficient? Apps can help you create custom work orders for your specific needs with templates and suggestions to get you started. With more advanced technology, you can be notified of low inventory levels, get work order updates, and automatically assign tasks to technicians or team members to optimize workflow.
Adding technology to your maintenance and building management can improve speed, cut costs, and increase production. Using apps can help you stay on top of scheduling, get specific insights, and optimize your workflow to save time and money.
