Unless you work in the hospitality industry, many people take a vacation in the summer but it can be hard to schedule your own time off when there is so much to do as a maintenance facility manager. With a CMMS, you can plan your summer (or any season) vacation with ease and not have to worry about how things are running back at your job.
Planning Ahead
How this works is that you can plan ahead your work tasks and preventative maintenance. For instance, you know that Bob and John are working that week that you are off and the parking lot needs cleaning. This task can be scheduled for a specific date so that when that date comes, the work is automatically sent to the employee and there is no need to check with you first or even have to come into the office to get paperwork since everything is sent via the remote application.
Peace of Mind
For preventative maintenance, it is also to keep up with things when you can't be there in person. You simply set up the preventative work in advance and like the work orders, these tasks come up on their designated date and the work order is automatically generated. You can do this far in advance so that no matter what you are doing on that specific date, the work is covered.
Mobility While Away
There is another helpful benefit of having CMMS (computerized maintenance management system) and that is that you can run reports even when you're away. Let's say that you're on some tropical island (wouldn't that be ideal?) and you still want to make sure that a certain task was done or just want to see how things went at your facility. You can run reports from any browser and see exactly what is going on back at the shop so that even when you're away, you can stay on top of things and make sure the work is being done when it should be done.

A computerized maintenance management system also works for you while you are working and takes some of the load off of your back; making your facility much easier to run. So whether you're stuck at work for the day or jet setting across the country, you can keep up with your business easily and efficiently with CMMS.
