Problems are reported by phone, on slips of paper, or through the office grapevine. Maintenance tasks pile up, and knowledge about the systems is locked away in people’s heads.
Maintenance Software (CMMS)
Efficiently plan, perform, and document maintenance and repairs
With SIMPL’s CMMS maintenance software, you can plan and document maintenance centrally and digitally. You’ll reduce downtime, automate processes, and increase equipment availability. This allows you to keep track of all maintenance schedules, tasks, and inspection procedures at all times.
The plant is up and running, and the maintenance crew is notified by shout
Reporting issues by phone, note, or by going to the terminal
Maintenance tasks pile up until the system makes a decision
What helped last time isn’t written down anywhere

Since the introduction of SIMPL, we have been systematically tracking our machines and equipment in the annealing technology sector. As a result, we now have complete transparency regarding our entire installed base— —including maintenance records. Customer inquiries can be submitted directly via the QR codes on the equipment, and the tedious task of printing out manuals is finally a thing of the past.

Frequently Asked Questions About Maintenance Software (CMMS)
What is a CMMS or maintenance software?
A CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) is software used to plan, manage, and document maintenance. It consolidates fault reports, maintenance orders, maintenance schedules, and equipment history in one place, thereby reducing unplanned downtime and ensuring that every task is documented in a traceable manner.
Why use maintenance software instead of Excel and paper?
Excel spreadsheets and paper reports separate the information from the equipment: reports get lost, maintenance tasks pile up, and no one knows what was done last time. Maintenance software automatically links reports, work orders, and history to the correct piece of equipment and sends reminders for upcoming due dates.
What are the typical features of a CMMS?
Core features include fault reports and ticketing, maintenance schedules with automatic order generation, an asset history, digital checklists and inspection reports, mobile data collection, and analyses of faults and work efforts. SIMPL also includes AI features, such as voice-activated reports and AI-powered searches through the history.
What is the difference between preventive and reactive maintenance?
Reactive maintenance repairs equipment when the system is down. Preventive maintenance is performed according to a schedule before a failure occurs, resulting in predictable costs rather than unplanned downtime. Maintenance software shifts the balance toward preventive maintenance because maintenance schedules automatically generate work orders, ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks.
Do we need to replace our ERP system?
No. Your ERP system remains the primary system for master data and business operations. SIMPL complements it with mobile trouble tickets, QR codes, forms, and photos, and exchanges data via interfaces to ensure that nothing is entered twice.
Can machine operators report malfunctions without needing a license themselves?
Yes, using the QR code on the equipment: Operators scan it and report the malfunction with a photo and description—no need to install an app or set up a separate account. This way, reports reach the maintenance team immediately, rather than being relayed by word of mouth or on a piece of paper.
Intuitive operation that works right away
SIMPL is designed so that technicians, service managers, and workshop teams can start working with it right away—without lengthy training and without feeling overwhelmed.
Offline Capability for Your Technicians
Technicians can enter jobs, forms, and photos entirely offline—everything syncs automatically as soon as a network connection is available again.
