You’re responsible for making sure the facilities you manage meet the needs of the people who live and work in them. Whether you’re dispatching work orders, managing preventative maintenance schedules, or forecasting future asset costs, you need to do it efficiently and cost-effectively.

You have a lot to manage. Which means you need a software solution that not only keeps up but can also help you make smarter management decisions.

If your current spreadsheets or software aren’t optimizing your ability to track and report your assets, plan scheduled maintenance, manage parts and inventory, or respond promptly to work orders, it’s time for a new solution.

Here are three key factors to look for when evaluating or selecting the right computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) for your business.


Work efficiently, proactively, and economically.

As a facilities manager, your goal is to oversee the maintenance and upkeep of your buildings as efficiently, proactively, and economically as possible.

Growing backlogs. Complicated work order creation and closeout processes. The inability to easily define, schedule, and track preventative maintenance activities. Software solutions like Performo are built to simplify and streamline your operational processes so you can better serve your facilities’ owners and users.

When it comes to software, you don’t need an expensive file organizer. You need a central hub that will allow you to create work orders quickly and easily; track start, target, and completion dates; monitor parts used and generate inventory reports; and keep all companies, vendors, contacts, and contract information in one location.

The right software solution will help you manage daily tasks more effectively while giving you tools to look further ahead. Performo enables you to route work automatically or assign jobs manually based on workload and trade, communicate directly with internal workers or outside vendors through electronic notifications, and facilitate proactive maintenance decisions with clear reporting on historical information and trends.


See what you need, when you need it.

Your business can’t function smoothly if its facilities aren’t in working order. You make costly decisions every day, and a lack of visibility into your assets’ health, performance, and history hinders your ability to make the best decisions.

The right software solution will give you insight into all aspects of your operations, including expenses and outcomes. With clear and detailed data, you’ll be able to quickly identify problems and prescribe solutions.

A CMMS like Performo provides a centralized database of all assets and facilities information, allowing you to find, sort, and report in only a few clicks instead of relying on manual processes to assemble data from multiple facility systems.

 The right software solution should conform to your workflow, not dictate it. You need a flexible solution what will allow you to organize your solution your way. With an unlimited number of configurable and customizable operations, Performo works the way you and your team do.


All the information you need—from anywhere.

Your team needs to stay connected, whether they are in the office or out in the field. That means a mobile solution isn’t a nice-to-have; it’s a necessity.

Mobile solutions allow you to coordinate technicians across different locations, improve communication and productivity, and facilitate proactive maintenance.

With Performo, you can create, track, assign, and escalate work orders on the go with a platform that works across all devices. Workers can see a map of where they need to go; view work orders by type, location, and requester; and even view photos, videos, or manuals of repair procedures from their mobile device.


The bottom line.

The right CMMS helps you streamline and configure the management of your enterprise assets and maintenance activities, allowing you to contain costs, add value, and make informed decisions to better serve your facilities’ owners and users now and in the future.
