A CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System), also known as a computer-aided maintenance management system, is a software tool designed to help organizations and maintenance service providers efficiently manage their maintenance operations, task scheduling, asset tracking and more. If you're looking for a CMMS for maintenance service providers, here are some key features you might consider:
- Asset Management: It should allow you to keep track of all the assets you are maintaining for your clients, including details such as location, date of acquisition, maintenance history, etc.

- Mobile and online access: A CMMS accessible via mobile devices and/or online can facilitate real-time updating and access to maintenance information from any location.
- Report generation: It should allow you to generate detailed reports on maintenance operations, asset performance and other relevant data.
