Work order software is incredibly useful for work order creation and management. It allows teams to assign work efficiently, stores the work histories of every order and asset, and gives real-time notifications on scheduled and finished work. However, as useful as work order software is, it is a stand-alone solution. A computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), on the other hand, goes beyond basic work order management. It provides a much wider range of functionality and features for teams to streamline their maintenance workflows and operations. In addition to work order management, a CMMS also includes a scheduled maintenance planner, asset profiles and management, and inventory management. Many vendors also offer a mobile app that makes it easier to document work in real-time for field technicians or remote workers, with or without internet connection.
