Other CMMS systems require double keying of maintenance and purchasing transactions or involve the review of separate reporting systems to understand the impact of maintenance activities and costs. Because METHOS is bi-directionally integrated with your financials you’ll gain an unprecedented ability to understand and control your maintenance expenditures.  

In the global economy, no company can prosper with inadequate quality and inflated costs. Maintenance related costs can average some 30% of a typical company’s total operating costs. METHOS has been a leading supplier of computerized maintenance management solutions (CMMS) for nearly 10 years.

 

METHOS provides users with detailed maintenance cost analysis at nearly any level of detail including maintenance costs by machine, by parts type, by supplier, as well as, by labor category and personnel. And because this information is bi-directionally fed between METHOS and your financials, you’ll have your finger on the pulse of your maintenance costs at all times.

 

METHOS is Integrated with these Financial Modules:

 

General Ledger
Journal Processing
Purchasing
Accounts Payable

 

Prior to METHOS, our ability to monitor and control our maintenance inventory was minimal. We now know what we have, where it is stored, and where it is used. The reduction, in large part, can be attributed to the excellent information that can be pulled out of the METHOS system.
