A Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) is software used to organize and manage maintenance operations.
It helps organizations replace spreadsheets, paperwork and fragmented maintenance records with centralized digital processes.
What Does a CMMS Do?
Work-Order Management
Teams can create, assign, prioritize, monitor and complete maintenance activities.
Asset Management
A CMMS can maintain equipment records, service histories and asset information.
Preventive Maintenance
Recurring maintenance activities can be scheduled automatically.
Inventory Management
Maintenance teams can track spare parts and materials required for repairs.
Maintenance History
Technicians can review previous repairs, inspections and maintenance activities.
Reporting
Managers can analyze work orders, maintenance performance, costs and workloads.
CMMS vs. IWMS
A CMMS primarily focuses on maintenance and physical assets.
An IWMS generally covers a broader range of workplace functions including:
Maintenance + Assets + Space + Real Estate + Projects + Sustainability + Workplace Operations.
Large organizations may therefore integrate maintenance capabilities into a wider workplace-management strategy.
Why Businesses Are Moving Beyond Spreadsheets
As organizations grow, spreadsheets become increasingly difficult to maintain.
A CMMS provides structured workflows, centralized records and greater visibility.
Organizations requiring broader capabilities can use integrated workplace solutions such as EINFRATECH Connected Workplace to connect maintenance with the wider workplace ecosystem.
