Effective maintenance management is crucial for any Facility - be it rental property, Managed compounds or Industrial plants. It not only ensures smooth operations but also helps to preserve the value of your investment. HAL ERP offers a robust maintenance management system that can streamline your processes and keep everything running smoothly.
Any property maintenance falls under two major buckets -
Preventive Maintenance (PM)
Reactive Maintenance (RM)
Preventive Maintenance:
In preventive maintenance, each asset or piece of equipment is assigned a periodic frequency at which maintenance activity is conducted. For eg: AC Chillers. Based on the contract you will sign with the facility owner, you will be required to do Monthly/Quarterly/yearly checks on specific equipment on the site.
It is important to always take periodic inspection. Especially if you are servicing equipment that is covered with a Manufacturer's warranty, it becomes important to never miss a routine periodic check as this can be the deal breaker for claiming warranties from the manufacturer.
HAL Maintenance module helps you create detailed visit schedules and have them assigned to the relevant team so that you never miss a scheduled PM check.
Reactive Maintenance:
This is the ad hoc maintenance request which is to be attended to as and when a problem arises within the facility. This could be a sudden gas leakage which could be a high-severity item that needs immediate attention or a whirring sound with your AC which needs to be fixed without much delay. It is important to categorize each such request so that you assign the right team based on priority.

How to Use HAL ERP for Effective Maintenance Management:
As explained above, in case of reactive maintenance, a user will report a problem as and when they notice it. Be it an AC-related problem or a plumbing complaint. With the easy-to-use Mobile App, users can easily capture the issue with photos or notes and create an incident.
This in turn triggers an internal workflow which could look like the below -
- Create Maintenance Tickets: When a user submits the incident, a ticket is created in HAL ERP, detailing the issue, location, priority, and any relevant photos or documents.
- Assign Tasks: Assign the ticket to the appropriate contractor or staff member. You can also set deadlines for completion and specify any required materials or equipment.
- Track Progress: Monitor the progress of the maintenance task through HAL ERP. You can view updates, communicate with contractors, and track costs.
- Close Tickets: Once the maintenance issue is resolved, close the ticket in HAL ERP. You can also gather feedback from the user to assess the quality of the service and identify areas for improvement.
- Generate Reports: Use HAL ERP to generate detailed reports on maintenance activity, including the number of tickets, average response times, and costs. This data can help you identify trends and make informed decisions about your maintenance strategy.
