Hello <a data-id="1044" data-value="EishiFUN" data-denotation-char="@" href="/user/eishifun" class="text-decoration-none mention">@EishiFUN</a> I would like to have more information about the scope of Work Orders in our workspace. This would prevent us from managing services where the units already have some mechanical or electrical fault, and would allow us to confirm with evidence that they are in optimal condition. I would also like to know what can be used or improved in Work Orders through maintenance.

Using GeoTab Maintenance with an external work order system?

Title

I'm curious how others are using the GeoTab Maintenance module when you also have an external work order system (like an EAM/CMMS). From what I can tell, GeoTab's Maintenance features are really designed to handle both:<ul><li>PM awareness (based on odometer, hours, time, etc.)</li><li>And the actual tracking/completion of the work</li></ul> In our case, we already have an external system where all work orders need to be created, tracked, and closed. So we're trying to figure out how GeoTab might still fit into the process. What I'm exploring: Using GeoTab Maintenance Schedules to flag when a PM is due, but then handling the actual work in our external system. Potentially just “skipping” or not completing the PM inside GeoTab after we've acted on it elsewhere. This will log the maintenance event and set it up for next reminder. Questions:<ul><li>Is anyone using GeoTab Maintenance this way (awareness only, not completion)?</li><li>If so, how are you managing the workflow between GeoTab and your work order system?</li><li>Do you mark PMs as skipped in GeoTab, or is there a better way to handle that?</li><li>Any issues with reporting or history if you're not completing PMs in GeoTab?</li></ul> Trying to understand if this is a workable approach or if it creates more problems than it solves.Appreciate any insight from those who have tried this.
