What a CMMS is

A CMMS, or Computerised Maintenance Management System, is software that manages maintenance operations. It tracks assets, raises and manages work orders, and schedules preventive maintenance so equipment is serviced before it fails.

A CMMS keeps a history of each asset, which helps teams plan maintenance and account for the equipment they run.
