List of requirements

Making a list of all your requirements starts right from taking into consideration all the assets you have and which assets you think should be maintained by the CMMS software. Create a checklist which includes all the maintenance planning functions, assets and inventories, analysis and reporting.

Cost and time for implementation of software

Deciding on the budget allocated to the software and finalizing the return on investment that is expected from the software is very important. This gives clarity on affordability and ensures that the affordability meets expectations.

Vendors list as per requirement

Once the budget is finalized, the next step is to find vendors that offer the CMMS software based on your budget. This factor will narrow down the search of the software to a greater extent and it will be easy to consider the further steps of buying the software.

Ease of use

Understanding whether the software is user-friendly or not and even making note of the amount of training required to understand all the features of the software is the key factor. So, ensuring that the software is easy to use for all levels of users in the organization can help save a lot of time which could be used later.

Third-party integration

For making the system more effective, it must be integrated with other applications that are used in the organization. This will help streamline the data flow in processes and also eliminate any errors.

Software training

All software needs training until all users have adopted the new process. So, it is vital to check if the vendor provides full-fledged training to all levels of users in the organization as this will keep them motivated for using this new system while working.

Customer support



Checking this factor is very important to understand if the vendor can quickly resolve your problems or not. It becomes challenging if there is downtime in the system. This can affect the entire process. So, if the vendor is offering ongoing customer support then it becomes very helpful.



Getting the right CMMS Software is always helpful for organizations for managing their maintenance of assets in time. The above checklist is the quick and handy basic criteria that can be considered while selecting the best CMMS software for the organization.
