Utilizing a web based CMMS, you are free from any hardware issues that may occur. If the servers running the web based software go down, it’s the third party’s responsibility—not yours—to fix or replace the server.

Live Tracking of Facility Maintenance Work Performance

It is helpful to think of your CMMS as a tool, just like you have in your tool box. If you had to loosen the bolts on a heat exchanger, you probably would prefer to have a wrench. If you had to ensure work gets done on time and done properly every time, you would probably prefer a web based CMMS.

Maintenance Management Software and Your Business

Remember that the key to getting a great ROI from your CMMS is using the features to their fullest within your business. Almost any system will bring serious benefit when used correctly. Your obligation as a manager is to choose the system that best fits the experience and capabilities of your staff.
