Problems are reported by phone, on a note, or through the grapevine. Maintenance tasks are piling 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 tasks 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 team is notified verbally
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
No Key Metrics: The most costly problem child remains unidentified
Centralized maintenance data, complete overview
Whether it’s a fault report, a maintenance appointment, or machine history: With SIMPL, you can access everything directly, whether you’re in the office or on the shop floor.
All issues and requests are managed centrally in the ticketing system
A history is automatically generated for each system
Mobile Data Entry: Forms, Photos, Times—even offline

Since the introduction of SIMPL, we have been systematically cataloging our annealing equipment and systems. 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.

Maintenance That No Longer Plays Catch-Up
From scheduled maintenance to unexpected malfunctions: everything in one system.
Maintenance Schedules & Recurring Inspections
Scheduled Maintenance Instead of Fire Department Calls
Set up maintenance schedules and inspection deadlines once: When they’re due, the work order is created automatically.
Intervals per system, freely configurable
Inspections (e.g., UVV) with automatic order generation
All due dates are tracked centrally, so nothing piles up unnoticed
„We now track inquiries and orders—including all service reports and maintenance logs—centrally in a single solution.“
QR Codes & Service Disruptions
Registered in 30 seconds, right at the facility
Operators scan the QR code on the machine and report the malfunction by sending a photo from their cell phone. No need to go to the terminal, no need to fill out a form.
Report a problem via scan, with a photo and required fields
Every message is automatically routed to the correct system
Ticketing centralizes all reports
Mobile App
The order comes to your cell phone, not on a piece of paper
Assignments, checklists, and photos right at the job site—your maintenance technician can simply record the report.
Fill out checklists and inspection reports on the go
Reports via AI voice input instead of typing
Works offline, even in the basement and in the warehouse
Search history using AI
“Has this ever happened before?” Here’s the solution.
The AI searches through historical data and reports for similar issues. That knowledge remains within the company, even if the most experienced employee retires.
Find similar issues and their solutions right away

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 equipment and sends reminders for upcoming due dates on its own.
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 of 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 focus 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 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 no data is maintained in duplicate.
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 have 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 using it right away—without lengthy training or feeling overwhelmed.
Offline capability for your technicians
Technicians can enter orders, forms, and photos entirely offline—everything is automatically synced as soon as a network connection is available again.
