How the New Asset Insider Cuts Maintenance Costs and Saves Time

Did you know that organizations waste up to 20% of their annual maintenance budgets due to inefficient asset management practices? With such challenges in mind, the new version of Asset Insider introduces innovative tools and improvements that optimize workflows, eliminate inefficiencies, and deliver measurable results.

What’s New in Asset Insider?

1. Simplify Issue Reporting and Resolution with Service Requests

Manual tracking of service requests is prone to errors and delays. Our new Service Requests module centralizes issue reporting and resolution. This way you can complete tasks on time and nothing slips through the cracks.

Additionally, the new Service Requests feature saves time with automated workflows for immediate task prioritization and assignment. You can track each request’s status in real time, from submission to completion. 

By addressing issues before they escalate, the Service Requests module helps reduce unnecessary equipment wear and energy waste caused by inefficient operations.

How Service Requests Can Deliver Benefits Across Industries?

In Facility Services, building managers can instantly log maintenance issues, ensuring prompt technician response.

Plant supervisors in the Manufacturing industry can benefit from easier prioritizing of equipment failures and assigning resources efficiently.

Finally, in Transportation Fleet Operators can track vehicle repairs in real-time, minimizing downtime. Faster issue resolution not only saves time but also ensures assets remain operational when you need them most.

2. A New Way to Manage Work Orders With Kanban Board

Visualize your workflows like never before with our redesigned Kanban Board. This intuitive feature offers drag-and-drop functionality and customizable filters to help you organize tasks with ease.

How The Kanban Board Benefits Different Industries?

If a Facility Services company uses the Kanban, they can put in order task assignments for maintenance teams, improving productivity and accountability.

In Manufacturing, the responsible person can monitor production line tasks and reassign resources in real-time to meet shifting priorities. Thus, by optimizing task workflows, the Kanban Board minimizes inefficiencies and helps teams stay on track.

Furthermore, such approach to scheduling can minimize resource overuse. You will consume only the necessary energy and materials, reducing operational waste. Try it yourself!
