MainBoss Advanced Maintenance Management Software
MainBoss Advanced Maintenance Software is a new generation of CMMS, building
on the success of our trusted MainBoss Basic package.
MainBoss Advanced accesses its data using Microsoft SQL Server 2005
(SP2, Version 9.0.0.3042 or later) or SQL Server 2008.
SQL Server comes in a variety of versions in order to provide
effective service, no matter how much data you have to handle.
(There's even a free version for smaller sites.)
SQL Server is also a known quantity to IT departments;
you may already have it installed at your site for use
with other software packages.
MainBoss Advanced is licensed on a modular basis.
You can pick the functionality you need, without getting any
extras...but more functionality is ready when you are.
The following modules are available:
- Work request management (Can be purchased on its own or with other modules)
-
When someone reports a problem with your equipment and facilities, you
can't let the report fall through the cracks.
Work request management lets you record the problem reports
you receive and make sure they're being handled.
For some organizations, work request management is all you need: simple information
on the work you need to do.
- @Requests (Requires the "Work request management" module)
-
@Requests builds on work request management by letting authorized
users submit problem reports by e-mail.
Submitters receive automated e-mail acknowledgements at
various points in the progress of the work, keeping them
informed and in the loop without needing "hand-holding"
from maintenance personnel.
The less you have to talk to people on the phone,
the more time you have for actual maintenance work.
- Work order management (Can be purchased on its own or with other modules)
-
Work orders are the heart of maintenance: detailed instructions
for a job, including personnel assignments, lists of parts
needed, and labor/material costs.
Before the job, you can estimate what labor and materials
will be needed.
After, you can record exactly what was used, as well as information
such as the cause of the problem, the length of time that equipment
was down, and suggestions that might reduce problems in future.
Work order management also provides comprehensive reporting facilities.
You can get a quick list of overdue jobs,
a summary of all work done on a particular piece of equipment,
detailed labor histories, and much more.
- Planned Maintenance (Requires the "Work order management" module)
-
Scheduling inspections and preventive maintenance is one of the
most important functions of a CMMSyou can switch from
reactive maintenance (where you're always playing catch-up)
to proactive maintenance (where your work is more predictable
and things go wrong less often).
MainBoss Advanced can schedule maintenance jobs
by calendar (e.g. "every three months"),
by meter (e.g. "every 3000 miles"), or both.
- Inventory Management (Requires the "Work order management" module)
-
Your work depends on the parts and materials you useif you don't
have the parts, you can't do the job.
MainBoss Advanced has facilities that let you record what you have
in every storeroom, letting you find parts quickly.
(No more wandering from storeroom to storeroom looking for what you need.)
You can easily get reports on current inventory levels, including a
list of materials that need to be reordered.
In this way, you can make sure you never run out of the parts you need.
- Purchasing (Requires the "Work order management" module)
-
Your department uses purchase orders to pay for materials and for the
services of outside contractors.
The MainBoss purchasing module lets you create such purchase orders so
that you can track your expenses.
Even if you already have purchase order software, you can use the
MainBoss purchasing facilities as a "purchase request" system: an easy
way to write up preliminary purchase orders before creating real
ones with your existing processes.
