The Benefits of Robust Reporting and Analytics.

Meet rising expectations and overcome persistent pain points – like overdue preventive maintenance tasks, high equipment downtime or high inventory costs – with actionable insights.

Use Real-Time Insight to Optimize Maintenance Processes

Utilize a variety of configurable reports – including labor reports, work order reports and asset reports – to get a real-time, at-a-glance understanding of where inefficiencies may be happening, where your money is going, where there’s room for improvement and more. Maintenance managers can use that insight to meet targets and improve maintenance operations. 

Maximize Transparency Across Your Organization

User-friendly tools like the Report Wizard and Reporter module allow your maintenance teams to easily create, modify, and run reports – no specialized skill or consultant required. They can then be exported as PDFs or added to shared dashboards so your entire team can work toward the same goals. 

Gain Multi-Site, Multi-Device Visibility

Compare metrics across sites or over time, set benchmarks and view your reports on mobile, tablet or desktop devices for real-time, actionable transparency and visibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is work order software?

Work order software is a digital tool that helps businesses create, track, and manage maintenance tasks efficiently. It automates the entire work order lifecycle, from request submission and approval to task assignment, completion, and reporting. By using a centralized platform, organizations can reduce downtime, improve response times, and ensure assets are properly maintained. Work order software is commonly used in facilities management, manufacturing, healthcare, and property management, where maintenance efficiency directly impacts operations.

Why should I invest in Accruent’s work order management system?

Accruent’s work order management system streamlines maintenance workflows, reduces operational costs, and enhances asset reliability. With automated scheduling, real-time tracking, and mobile accessibility, teams can efficiently manage work orders from any location, ensuring faster response times and minimal downtime. Additionally, custom reporting and analytics provide insights into resource allocation, maintenance trends, and cost savings, helping businesses make data-driven decisions. Whether managing facilities, equipment, or service requests, Accruent’s solution improves productivity, compliance, and operational efficiency.

How much does work order management software cost?

The cost of work order management software depends on several factors, including the number of users, features, deployment method (cloud vs. on-premise), and integration capabilities. Basic plans for small businesses may start at a few hundred dollars per month, while enterprise solutions with advanced automation, analytics, and integrations can range into thousands per month. Many vendors offer tiered pricing, custom quotes, and free trials, allowing organizations to choose a solution that matches their operational needs and budget.

What is the difference between workflow and work order?

A workflow is a comprehensive process model, illustrating the sequence of activities to achieve a goal or complete a process, while a work order is a specific task or job assignment, detailing what needs to be done, who will do it, when, and with what resources. Workflows provide a high-level view of processes, optimizing efficiency, while work orders focus on individual tasks within those processes, enabling tracking and execution. Workflows have a long-term perspective, adaptable over time, while work orders have a shorter lifecycle, typically used for managing short-term tasks, maintenance, or projects

Can Accruent’s work order software integrate with other systems?

Yes, Accruent’s work order software integrates seamlessly with various business, facility, and asset management systems to improve workflow efficiency. It connects with Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and Internet of Things (IoT) platforms, ensuring smooth data exchange and real-time updates. By integrating with existing tools like accounting software, procurement systems, and analytics dashboards, businesses can eliminate data silos, streamline maintenance processes, and improve overall asset performance.
