Maintenance on the same record as the business
Most businesses run maintenance in a separate system, or on a wall chart. Parts are issued from stores in one place, contractor invoices are paid in another, and nobody knows what an asset really costs to keep running.
In Predictiv, you run maintenance inside the ERP, with the same asset register, the same stores and the same ledger as the rest of the business. When you issue a part to a work order, Predictiv removes it from stock. Predictiv posts labour and contractor cost to the asset and to the accounts as the work is done. You need no interface to bring maintenance cost back into the ERP, because Predictiv records it there from the start.
Know every asset
Keep one register of vehicles, production lines, refrigeration, generators and buildings, arranged in a location hierarchy with parent assets. Give each asset a criticality and an operational status. Attach meters and take readings by hand, from vehicle trips in fleet, or from connected equipment.
Tag assets by barcode, QR code, NFC or engraved plate. Run verification rounds to confirm by scan that each asset is where the register records it.
Plan the work once
Write versioned job plans with tasks and checklists. Each checklist step is typed as pass, flag or fail. Measurements have acceptable limits, and safety steps are acknowledged before work starts. Estimate labour, parts and tools per task, so stores staff know from the plan what to have ready.
Schedule it before it fails
Trigger work by calendar, by meter reading, or by both. Schedules can be fixed or floating, with early and late tolerance windows. A forecast shows the work coming over the horizon you choose, so planners see next month’s load in advance.
Do the work on a phone
When work falls due, Predictiv raises the work order and queues it for the right role. Technicians work through the job plan on a phone or at a desk. They capture readings against limits and record the labour, parts and tools they used. A supervisor approves the work before it is closed, and every change is recorded with a reason in the audit trail.
Keep the backlog under control
Planners see the backlog and overdue work against the capacity available, and release work only when the materials are ready. Predictiv uses notifications, service-level timers and escalation to bring urgent work to someone who can act on it.
See what maintenance achieves
Cost is reported by asset, by plan and by period. Predictiv measures PM compliance, schedule adherence, and planned against actual time and cost, using the definitions of the Society for Maintenance and Reliability Professionals. It records downtime and failure causes, reports reliability, and sends a warning before a warranty lapses so you do not miss a claim.
Maintenance work is also where much environmental data starts. Refrigerant events, waste movements and energy readings are captured during the job, ready for sustainability reporting.
What makes it different
Specialist maintenance products handle assets and work orders well. Someone then has to move their cost into stock and finance through an interface. In Predictiv, maintenance, inventory and finance are on one record, so the cost of each asset is current as the work is done.
Vehicles are included. Predictiv updates the maintenance meters from fleet trip odometer readings, so you service each vehicle by the distance it has actually been driven. Approvals run through workflow, technicians work through mobile and offline access, and you see the results in analytics.
