Effective maintenance management helps reduce the costs of corrective actions, extend the useful life of assets, and prevent downtime due to unforeseen breakdowns. Consequently, it guarantees reliability and operational efficiency, increasing profitability, productivity, and business competitiveness.

However, facilitating this management also requires having the appropriate information systems in place. This translates into the implementation of software that assists and controls the maintenance of critical assets within the production process, such as CMMS software.
CMMS stands for Computerized Maintenance Management System, a system that automates and facilitates the preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance interventions that must be performed to ensure the company's operational continuity.

CMMS software allows for the monitoring of the lifecycle of equipment, systems, and facilities, scheduling, monitoring, and alerting for all necessary interventions. These tasks can be managed internally by the company or through maintenance services provided by other companies.
