3 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Choosing a CMMS software:
Whether you are looking to change your existing CMMS software or you’re starting from scratch, you should ask yourself the following questions:
1- What are my goals?
It is essential to establish concrete and achievable objectives adapted to your company and your reality. For example, if you want to replace your software already in place, ask yourself what are the weak points or the irritants of this software. If you’re starting from scratch, ask yourself what are the biggest problems or frustrations your maintenance team is experiencing?
2- Who will be part of the decision-making process?
It is important to set up a team that will be involved throughout the process, starting with the choice of the solution, to its use and implementation. Choose at least one person per department that will be using the software. Their point of view is important because they will know what is necessary to improve operations in their department.
3- What is my budget?
In order to establish a realistic initial budget adapted to your company, ask yourself: How much can I invest at most on CMMS software? Keep in mind that a good CMMS software will save you money in the long run and it will maximize your ROI by increasing your margins.
