What is cloud-based maintenance management software?
Cloud-based maintenance management software, also commonly referred to as a cloud-based CMMS or web-based maintenance software, is hosted on remote servers and accessed via the internet, rather than installed on local infrastructure. Instead of running on on-site servers that your IT team has to install, maintain, and update, the software runs in the cloud, with updates and backups handled by the provider.
Maintastic’s cloud-based CMMS is accessible through any web browser or mobile device, giving your maintenance teams a fully managed, always up-to-date workspace to manage asset, work orders, preventive maintenance, inspections, and maintenance data from anywhere without maintaining their own server infrastructure.
