BuyerZone user comments: maintenance management software purchasing requirements

"Our company has a CMMS package in conjunction with our ERP system. The Maintenance module is difficult to understand much less use. The package probably works well for the shop that sold the code to the ERP vendor. Its strength is maintenance workorders integrated with the production workorders. We're investigating CMMS software to manage Maintenance and implement TPM."
