CMMS: organising multi-technical maintenance

How can digital tools improve the performance of multi-technical maintenance?

At a glance

What a CMMS is forPlanning, organising and tracking equipment maintenance, from preventive to corrective.

BenefitsCentralised field data, adaptable interface, use on tablets and offline.

Watch out forUnnecessary modules and licence costs that vary with the solution and the number of users.

It all starts with digital solutions suited to the type of site (offices, industry, healthcare, public buildings), to the regulations in force and to the technical installations on site.

Some of these tools let you:

diagnose your technical installations;
coordinate the work of your maintenance technicians;
plan maintenance for different equipment and subcontractors;
keep a record of every operation carried out under your contract.

CMMS

A CMMS (computerised maintenance management system) is an essential tool to help managers plan, organise and monitor the maintenance of their technical equipment.

Asset registerEquipment, location, specifications, failure history.

Maintenance planPreventive routines, frequencies, statutory inspections.

Work ordersRequests, work orders, technicians and subcontractors.

TrackingTraceability, KPIs, costs and response times.

The four core functions of a CMMS

Several solutions are available on the market, priced at around €1,500 to €10,000 excluding VAT depending on the type of licence and the number of assets.

What are the benefits of a CMMS?

ease of use to collect, centralise and report field information;
a customisable interface that adapts to your business needs and to the different types of maintenance;
offline use to manage on-site work without losing data;
usable in every sector (offices, healthcare, industry) and for every type of maintenance work;
available on tablet and laptop.

What are the drawbacks of a CMMS?

solutions can be complex, with modules you do not need;
the licence subscription cost, which varies with the brand, the number of users and the configuration required.

With the need to optimise costs and processes, companies increasingly turn to engineering consultancies to put operational performance solutions in place.
