Implementing a <\/span>CMMS<\/span><\/a> isn\u2019t just a monetary investment. If you want to see real results, you will need to put in the effort to make sure the system is properly implemented and adopted. And it isn\u2019t as simple as flipping a switch.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It takes planning, time, and buy-in from your team and management to be successful. According to a recent study by Reliable Plant, almost <\/span>80% of CMMS implementations fail. <\/b>By contrast, <\/span>at <\/b>Limble, our customers have a 98% implementation success rate<\/b><\/a> and can start to see the ROI in as little as 1 to 2 weeks. What did we do differently?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern <\/span>CMMS software<\/span><\/a> is <\/span>built<\/span> for usability and high adoption. They come with an intuitive interface that drastically lowers the learning curve, requiring little to no training for technicians. They leverage tools to speed up data entry, and \u2014 in the case of Limble \u2014 offer world class customer support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, there are still some common stumbling blocks. Here is how to <\/span>avoid<\/span>\u00a0them.<\/span><\/p>\n

The CMMS software is too difficult to use<\/span><\/h3>\n

You should love the CMMS you use. This software must be used daily by not only you, but your entire team. You spend too much time at work to have to put up with something you hate using.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the number 1 reason most CMMS implementations fail. If something is a <\/span>headache<\/span>\u00a0to use, you will use it as little as possible. Pay attention to a few key usability indicators in the CMMS selection process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
