BuyerZone user comments: maintenance management software purchasing requirements

"I need software that is modular, well supported, and proven in the field. I need parts inventory for 5 locations, equipment inventory with PM structure to work for machines and fleet vehicles. Most importantly this software must be open to future technology, being continuously updated, not just some package deal that has no futurability. A solid preventive and predictive maintenance package that is easily updated by mechanics is also important. professional in appearance, user friendly and can be integrated into an ERP."
