About CMMS
CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) is a computer system created to simplify the maintenance management process. Its features may include the management of Work Orders, the planing and execution of Preventive Maintenance and the more detailed aspects of Asset Tracking.
Work Order Management Software is a computer system to aid in the communication and management of daily tasks. These tasks often get recognized by visitors or residents of a facility, and the work order management software helps in providing a way for those issues to be related to the right person.
The way we see it, pretty much every industry can benefit from using a CMMS Software. Since every industry requires work to be done, both on an occasion basis and on a repeating basis, a well functioning CMMS System can only help in organizing those individuals who are responsible for managing those tasks.
In essence, both are the same. CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) is just another way to describe what Facility Management Software does.
