by extending the life of equipment and machinery, repair and replacement costs go down, along with the costs due to breakdown and downtime.\u00a0 With mobile technology, you can make good maintenance better.\u00a0 When your field technicians have access to all necessary information, maintenance is done quicker and with fewer mistakes.\u00a0 And they can automatically generate work orders if necessary, ensuring that repairs are done in a timely manner.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Mobile Quality Inspections with Photographs\" href=\"http:\/\/www.psiwebware.com\/cmms\/quality-management.php\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Improved Quality Inspections:<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 What would it mean to you\u2014and your efforts to control costs\u2014if you could cut your inspection times by half?\u00a0 Through the use of mobile technologies, that\u2019s exactly what you\u2019ll be able to do.\u00a0 And don\u2019t discount the amount saved in paper by using your system to optimize your inspections.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Optimize Employee Performance\" href=\"http:\/\/www.psiwebware.com\/cmms\/employee-management.php\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Improved Employee Management:<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 How much did you pay in overtime last year?\u00a0 If your company is like most companies, this is one area that needs some help.\u00a0 Through the use of mobile technologies, you\u2019ll know who\u2019s doing what, and how effectively the job is being performed.\u00a0 When your employees have access to all the information they need while onsite, less time is spent on the road or searching for parts.\u00a0 And with fingerprint time keeping, your employees spend less time at the office and more time on the job.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Save Money on Supplies and Parts\" href=\"http:\/\/www.psiwebware.com\/cmms\/inventory-management.php\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Improved Inventory Control:<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 How many times have you ordered parts that, as it turned out, you already had?\u00a0 Or needed a part, but couldn\u2019t figure out where it was?\u00a0 Using your CMMS with available mobile technology, you\u2019ll be able to track equipment condition, supply consumption and even evaluate vendors.\u00a0 And with an additional barcode system, you can give your staff all the information they need regarding the status and history of any given tool or part, so they quickly have the information they need to perform their jobs more efficiently.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u201cBut we\u2019ve just invested in a good CMMS; we really can\u2019t afford to invest in a lot of additional mobile equipment!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, most of the better systems work with the mobile technology you probably already use every day; handheld devices such as SmartPhones and Tablets can be used to access any information needed from the system, without the need of special software or upgrades.\u00a0 So contact your vendor today, and see how mobile technology can cut and control your company\u2019s costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CMMS provides organizations with features that document work to improve visibility, track performance to save labor, and organize work to improve customer relations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_options":[]},"categories":[41],"tags":[6,3],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"psp_head":"<title>Controlling Costs with CMMS Mobile Technology \u2013 PSIwebware - Hometown of TAMS<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"CMMS Mobile Technology can help you track Preventive Maintenance, Service Requests, and Inventory including photographs of work or quality inspections performed.\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index,follow\" \/>\r\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/psiwebware.com\/blog\/cmms-software-5\/controlling-costs-with-cmms-mobile-technology\/\" \/>\r\n","jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2ATPx-b1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/psiwebware.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/683"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/psiwebware.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/psiwebware.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/psiwebware.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/psiwebware.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=683"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/psiwebware.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/683\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":709,"href":"https:\/\/psiwebware.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/683\/revisions\/709"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/psiwebware.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=683"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/psiwebware.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=683"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/psiwebware.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=683"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
