FTMaintenance At A Glance

Good: Work orders automatically generated based on real-time data, multi-language and multi-currency support, pre-formatted templates for reports and graphs.

Bad: The on-premise solution is not supported on Mac systems.

Bottom Line: Their philosophy of "automating everything" helps users improve productivity and reduce unplanned equipment downtime.

Product Overview

FasTrak’s CMMS software FTMaintenance incorporates the goal of “automating everything”, such as automating work order creation, report generation, and equipment downtime calculation. Preventative maintenance work orders are automatically generated based on preset calendar or runtime cycles. Maintenance task automation leads reduces data entry errors, improves productivity, and reduces unplanned equipment downtime. Other benefits of FTMaintenance is that it is scalable and users can customize specific workflows based on the needs of their businesses.

FTMaintenance includes several maintenance features, which are detailed in the Features section below. However, it offers optional modules such as:

Service Request – Users can submit maintenance service request via the Web browser. The request form can also be customized and notifications are automatically sent when requests are fulfilled.
Mobile Accessibility – Users can create and edit work orders, get purchasing information, and update inventory all from a mobile device.
Barcode – This module allows users to scan inventory and purchasing information via a barcode scanner.
Multi-Site – Users can access maintenance information on multiple FTMaintenance databases – one benefit of this is to reduce the dependence on IT for information.
Audit Trail – Users can ensure that the maintenance procedures are safely done, as well as verify edits to work orders.

FasTrak is committed to the long-term development, service and support of FTMaintenance. FTMaintenance is regularly updated to provide new CMMS features and functionality.
