How CMMS Adds Real Value in Facility Management
Q: Which data fields should be structured from day one and why?
Key fields include build information, make and model, serial numbers, unit information, PM program scheduling, dates, and warranty details because they provide the essential context to understand asset aging, maintenance needs, and how the system will inform decisions.
How CMMS Adds Real Value in Facility Management
Q: What is the minimum viable data to put in a CMMS system to make reliable insights?
