A computerized maintenance management system, or CMMS, helps organizations manage maintenance activities such as work orders, preventive maintenance schedules, equipment histories, and technician tasks.

An asset register provides the underlying information about the equipment being managed. Depending on the platform, asset records may be incorporated directly into the CMMS.

Connecting maintenance activity with individual assets creates a historical record that can help hotels understand reliability, repair frequency, labor requirements, and long-term equipment performance.
