Choosing a modern CMMS

Technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, and you need to ensure that your CMMS software is flexible and adaptable enough to keep pace with your existing information system.
This is especially true if you have been using a CMMS solution for many years and are considering migrating to a new generation CMMS.

To ensure you get modern software that will scale with your organization, make sure your CMMS is :

Open and easily connectedOpen and easily connected

Verify that your CMMS uses an application programming interface (API) via web services to guarantee interoperability with your existing or future software.

Natively mobileNatively mobile

A CMMS solution without a mobile application is simply impractical. Access to maintenance data in the field is essential to operational efficiency. Beware of CMMS that offer a solution only available in an IoS environment or only deployable from a tablet.

 

Choose software that is well-suited to the scale of your project

Knowing where you stand in the market is important when choosing the software you need. If you’re a small business looking for simple work order management software, you don’t necessarily want to buy a CMMS with a multitude of features. On the other hand, if you are a growing company, you don’t want to invest in software that will limit your evolution or your international deployment, for example.

FAQs

What is the difference between cloud-based and on-premise CMMS?

Cloud-based CMMS is hosted on the provider’s servers and accessed via the internet, offering flexibility, scalability, and lower upfront costs. You benefit from automatic updates and can access the system from anywhere.

On-premise CMMS is installed locally on your company’s hardware and servers, providing full control over the security and management of the system but requires more investment in IT infrastructure and maintenance.

 How does CMMS integration work with existing systems?

CMMS integration involves connecting the CMMS software with other key systems in your organization, such as ERP, MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems), and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, to ensure seamless data flow and improve efficiency. This is typically achieved through APIs or middleware that facilitates communication between different software platforms, allowing for real-time data updates and minimizing manual data entry errors.

What features should I look for in a CMMS?

When selecting a CMMS, look for features that align with your maintenance management needs, including asset tracking, preventive maintenance scheduling, work order management, inventory control, and detailed reporting and analytics. Additionally, consider mobile capabilities for on-the-go access, user-friendly interfaces, and customization options to tailor the system to your specific operational requirements.
