11. Mobile CMMS apps, unlike browser-based CMMS
solutions, are specifically designed to handle the
movements of your fingertips. From swiping to “pinch-
and-zoom” gestures, a mobile CMMS app can handle
the interactions you are accustomed to with other apps.

mobile CMMS
app gives even
greater access
to data that may
have been
previously
limited.

14. Offline editing capabilities, for instance, allow you to
edit select work orders and easily sync when you’re
back online.

15. Capture actual labor data
within any preventive or
corrective work order to
avoid miscalculating
labor hours. Simply start,
pause, and stop labor
timers while performing
maintenance on an
asset.

16. Visually map out your
work orders, assets,
or parts, individually
or in groups with geo-
tagging capabilities.

18. Mobile CMMS apps enable maintenance
pros to enter, access, and manage data
when and where they need it – without
having to re-type the data into a
desktop solution at a later time.

19. One way is to leverage
your device's camera to
associate images to
related assets, work
orders, and parts.

20. QR CODE SCANNINGYou can also quickly create
a new maintenance
request, look up the
history of an asset, or
review related safety notes
by scanning a work order,
asset, or part’s QR code.

22. When utilizing a mobile CMMS
app, maintenance pros are
better equipped to know the
current availability of inventory
or the latest status of an asset,
and therefore, are better able to
collaborate on true priorities.

23. For instance, you could
conduct physical counts and
research real-time quantities
on hand, re-order points, and
other activities to control
your spare parts inventory
wherever you are.
