Preventive Maintenance and Scheduling

Schedule inspections and recurring service work before equipment fails, then prepare the people, parts, and information needed for each visit.

Preventive maintenance helps your team act before a breakdown. It can cover equipment servicing, cleaning, lubrication, calibration, statutory inspections, safety checks, and planned replacement of wear items.

Schedule maintenance

  1. Open Schedule, or select the Scheduled tab on the Maintenance page.
  2. Add a maintenance appointment and choose the relevant customer, facility, or asset.
  3. Enter the planned date and time, work description, assigned person, and current status.
  4. For repeating work, create each required service period according to the maintenance plan.
  5. Save the appointment and confirm it appears in the upcoming schedule.

Prepare for the visit

  • Review the asset history, manual, previous findings, and outstanding comments.
  • Confirm site access, working hours, permits, and safety requirements.
  • Check that required parts, tools, and consumables are available.
  • Assign the correct staff member or contractor.
  • Notify the customer when service affects access or operations.

After the work

Update the status, record findings, add photographs or reports, and create follow-up work where a defect is discovered. If the next service date is known, schedule it while the current visit information is still fresh.

Why schedule: Consistent preventive work reduces missed servicing, improves compliance, extends asset life, and makes labour and inventory demand easier to plan.
