Assets-e

Cloud maintenance software

Assets-e is a cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for managing a company's maintenance and physical assets. Tobalina Consulting Group developed it; the consulting firm specializes in operations and maintenance and has more than 20 years of experience. The platform helps maintenance managers track equipment, schedule work, and review results from any internet-connected device.

Key features

• Physical asset inventory with quick search and the option to attach photos, plans, and manuals.
• Preventive and corrective maintenance work orders, with automatic time tracking and real-time status updates: open, in progress, or closed.
• Work requests from other departments or customers through a link, without using a software license.
• Scheduling and tracking outside contractors' work, including labor, materials, and cost details.
• Stock and warehouse management, including parts received and issued and their warehouse locations.
• Automatic purchase orders to suppliers based on minimum stock levels and reorder points.
• A dashboard with KPIs and visual indicators for availability, preventive maintenance completion, breakdowns, most frequent service calls, most-used replacement parts, and labor and materials costs.

It is designed for Industry 4.0 maintenance environments, with data capture through the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data, and aims to eliminate paper-based processes. Its design follows Lean principles, with an emphasis on ease of use and clear data displays.
