> Turn recurring maintenance dates into visible, assigned work.

MaintenEase turns recurring maintenance from an isolated calendar reminder into assigned work with a completion record. Create calendar-based schedules against an asset, set the frequency and owner, and review the resulting work alongside notes, parts, attachments, and service history. Meter and condition readings can inform planning and predictive risk, but the current scheduler should not be described as a native meter-trigger engine.

## Benefits

- **Fewer avoidable breakdowns** — Put recurring inspections and service on a visible schedule, then compare failures before and after each PM interval so the team can adjust the work based on its own history.
- **More visible workload** — Upcoming and overdue work gives supervisors a clearer view of the schedule before the day begins.
- **Reviewable records** — Completion dates, notes, attachments, checklists, labor, and parts can be retained with the work and asset history.

## Features

- **Calendar schedules** — Create recurring work by day, week, month, or year and associate it with the relevant asset and owner.
- **Procedures and checklists** — Use work-order instructions and recurring checklists to capture steps, pass/fail items, notes, and attachments.
- **Documented completion** — Keep the due date, status, assignee, completion record, and supporting evidence together for later review.
- **Schedule health insights** — See which PMs are overdue, which assets keep failing between PMs, and where intervals should change.

## Who it's for

- Compliance-heavy facilities (healthcare, education, public sector)
- Manufacturing teams chasing a higher planned-to-reactive ratio
- Property managers managing recurring life-safety tasks
- Fleet operators coordinating recurring calendar inspections and service

## FAQ

### Can we import our existing maintenance data from a spreadsheet?

Free onboarding and data-import help are included. Provide a representative file first so the team can confirm which asset, work-order, and schedule fields can be mapped without implying that every legacy format imports automatically.

### What happens if a PM is missed?

The due work remains visible with its date and status so supervisors can review and reassign it. Teams should define their own overdue and compliance rules rather than assume the software supplies a regulatory conclusion.

### What is preventive maintenance software?

Preventive maintenance software schedules recurring inspections and service against each asset, generates the work orders automatically when they come due, and records completion so PM compliance can be measured and audited.

### How is preventive maintenance software different from a general CMMS?

PM scheduling is one module inside a CMMS. MaintenEase ships both: the preventive schedules described here plus the asset register, work order queue, inspections, and reporting they depend on.
