Maintenance and Repair Reporting in WebCheckout

root — Wed, 17 Nov 2021 21:39:44 +0000

As the world becomes increasingly digitized, more and more universities and colleges rely on computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) to manage their operations. Maintenance and repair software centralizes information and automates the process of maintenance operations, which in turn optimizes the utilization of all circulating and non-circulating equipment. A CMMS also provides reports that can help your department make sound, data-driven decisions.

Reporting in a CMMS varies between software packages, with some more comprehensive than others. As reporting is so critical to the success of a CMMS, it is a key factor in selecting a CMMS software solution for your organization. For example, the CMMS reporting in WebCheckout Pro’s equipment scheduling & management software offers the data needed to manage workloads and identify patterns. Furthermore, you can integrate your CMMS with other systems you already work with to data-mine and build data visualizations that help you better understand the status of your inventory.

The CMMS reporting and tracking capabilities of WebCheckout Pro’s CMMS reporting help you properly care for your inventory. As a result, WebCheckout Pro will make you more informed about the status of your inventory and reduce unforeseen repair costs and downtime associated with equipment breakage and loss.

WebCheckout’s Repair and Preventative Maintenance Module (link) tracks the maintenance cycles of all your equipment, so you can see which equipment requires maintenance, when it’s being serviced, and when it will be available for new checkouts and reservations. Having this information on hand will help save you time and money on repairs and extend the lifespan of your equipment.

With WebCheckout Pro’s Repair and Preventative Maintenance Module, you get thorough record-keeping on every ticket with detailed descriptions, as well as time and labor costs. Additionally, you can add attachments for invoices, receipts, and photos to centralize documents relating to each item’s lifecycle. The WebCheckout Pro CMMS allows you to be thorough and accurate when managing every detail about the equipment in your inventory.

The Reporting capabilities in WebCheckout Pro’s CMMS, the Repair and Preventative Maintenance Module are second to none. To see how WebCheckout’s Repair and Preventative Maintenance Module can help optimize your department’s operations, contact us today for a free consultation!

Use your experience with WebCheckout to bring value to your new job.

Years of hard work getting that degree have paid off; you’ve landed your first job in the industry. Most people starting out have to gain experience one day at a time, proving themselves as they go. But, you might be coming to your new job with more experience than you realize.

WebCheckout Alumni have Transferrable Skills

Over the last 20 years, thousands of students and employees at hundreds of institutions used WebCheckout for inventory and facilities management. Whether you worked with WebCheckout’s administrative backend or used WebCheckout’s Patron Portal, you are effectively alumni of WebCheckout (WebCheckout U.). You have gained a set of unique, transferable skills using an enterprise resource management application; and these experiences might be useful to your new employer.

WebCheckout isn’t just for Higher Education

Organizations, including production companies, broadcasting studios, corporations, and government agencies, all use WebCheckout to manage their daily operations. Not surprisingly, many of these companies learn about WebCheckout from recent hires who cite their positive college experiences.

These customers use WebCheckout to manage media production equipment and facilities, making broadcast and production companies an excellent fit for applying experience using WebCheckout. Notable groups such as Vox Media, TBS, and Glass Entertainment already use WebCheckout in their day-to-day operations.

Corporations and government agencies also benefit from WebCheckout. Toyota’s PDT Lab and the California Air Resources Board use WebCheckout to calibrate and maintain valuable scientific testing equipment. Even Houses of Worship find WebCheckout helpful for organizing and tracking their media equipment for large services and events.

A Common Need for Enterprise Resource Management Software

Several of these customers came to us by way of a recommendation from a recent grad. What they have in common is a need for booking, billing, repair, maintenance, kits, and communication. And all institutions, whether for-profit or not, want to maximize value and utilize their investments to their fullest potential. That’s where WebCheckout excels.

So, while WebCheckout has many features specialized for Higher Education: integration with Student Information Systems and Course Enrollment, the vast majority of WebCheckout’s solutions are a perfect fit for companies across other industries. And that means new employees can make a name for themselves by sharing their experiences with their new employer and add value from the moment they walk in the door.
