from telematics providers, service information from an outsourced maintenance
provider - all of this automation can assist
in not only streamlining the maintenance
process, but also in providing insights on
the full scope of costs for the maintenance
department and total cost of ownership
(TCO) for assets maintained.
" Using a CMMS that has the ability to help you automate not only that
data coming into the system, but really
serve as that true central point, is going
to make [assessing] TCO a lot easier, "
Maxwell suggests. " Then, ultimately, you
are going to be able to make better decisions about how you cycle your vehicles
and equipment. "
When it comes to the communication between different departments in
the shop, there can be challenges with
having a consistent representation of
data unless the parties are communicating effectively. For instance, Dossier's
Hausler provides the example between
the maintenance department and the
accounting department.
" We also realize that while maintenance [departments] run on VMRS, the
accounting side of the business runs
on general ledger (GL), " Hausler says.
" Dossier now has an optional accounting module that allows complete implementation of a company's financial
structure, even multiple business units
with different GLs. Every transaction
involving money - parts consumption
on work order, technician time external
work, et cetera - is coded with a full GL. "

For fleets working with other organizations outside of their own ecosystem,
external service providers can also
transmit and receive data between a
CMMS and third party software. For
instance, dealer management software
(DMS) can integrate with a fleet's CMMS
to exchange details such as when a
vehicle will arrive at a shop, estimates
for repairs, approval for repairs, and an
acknowledgement that the repair has
been completed.
" To be able to exchange that data
electronically versus getting on a
phone, calling, and trying to [communicate] either one way or the other,
you can streamline the process with
integrations to those external service
providers, " Trimble's Adler says. " It is
talking to a third party's maintenance
system... and making the two [software
programs] talk. "
