CMMS
A CMMS (Computerised Maintenance Management System) is software that manages maintenance work — work orders, preventive schedules, assets, spare parts and history. It is the system of record that turns maintenance into a managed, measurable process.
A CMMS centralises maintenance: it stores the asset register, raises and tracks work orders, schedules preventive maintenance, manages spare-parts inventory and records what was done. It is the backbone that turns predictive-maintenance alerts into scheduled work and captures the history that improves future decisions. Larger asset-heavy organisations may use a full EAM platform instead.
