Frequently asked questions

What is asset management?

Asset management is the ability to track, manage and maintain assets associated with facilities or infrastructure to keep them operational, avoid costly downtime and extend asset life. Asset management is important because it helps organizations understand where labor and budget resources are being spent to optimize operations.  

What is asset management software?

Asset management software includes cloud-based solutions to help facility and infrastructure asset managers keep track of the assets it takes to run a building or community. These tools, like Asset Essentials, are designed to manage and track all work and parts associated with repairs and replacement of vital systems needed to maintain service levels. The right asset management software keeps operations flowing smoothly without interruption or downtime due to failed assets. 

How can my organization benefit from asset management software?

Many organizations still rely on legacy CMMS or siloed systems and spreadsheets that make it hard to centralize data and have visibility over operations. Manual processes can lead to wasted resources, costly mistakes and delayed preventive maintenance.

Asset management software equips maintenance teams, asset managers and finance leaders with a mobile-friendly solution to align workflows, data insights and capital planning to improve performance, extend asset life and make confident decisions.  

What should I look for in asset management software?

Asset management software should include tools that best meet your organizational needs and goals. Every organization may be at a different level in their asset management journey. Some organizations only need to track work orders so that facilities are above a certain standard. Others require reporting, GIS, analytics, asset tracking and more to be the most efficient in their asset management daily work. It’s important to identify other tools built into an asset management platform that can help you become more efficient.

How does asset management software streamline operations?

Digital asset management software replaces disparate systems with an all-in-one solution that tracks maintenance and data over the entire asset lifecycle. Your CMMS provides a centralized hub that turns raw information into actionable insights to improve workflows, inform preventive maintenance and optimize asset performance. Teams can access real-time data and analytics to streamline work orders, improve operational efficiency, reduce costs and make confident budget decisions. 

How does asset management software help in audits?

Audits can occur in many forms. Whether from a regulatory agency, internally or from community members, asset management software helps maintain records and data that can be retrieved and reviewed by different stakeholders. It’s important to note that not all asset management software is built the same. When choosing a platform, make sure it is equipped with reporting capabilities to avoid any issues during an audit. Preferably, your asset management solution should be cloud-based to avoid any data loss associated with self-hosted systems.
