A strategic approach to asset care

Preventative Planned Maintenance (PPM) software gives organisations the tools to move from reactive repairs to strategic maintenance. By scheduling essential upkeep before issues arise, you can reduce downtime, extend equipment life, and keep compliance on track.

At Otoni, we believe technology should simplify the complex. That’s why our Asset Insight Manager integrates preventative maintenance features with seamless reporting, planning, and analytics – helping your team stay ahead, not just keep up.

How does preventative maintenance software work?

PPM software identifies potential issues before they escalate. By automating scheduling, assigning tasks, and managing inventory, it ensures essential maintenance isn’t missed and that resources are optimised. The result? Fewer breakdowns, reduced costs, and improved safety.

Key features to look for

Asset Management

Track and manage your entire asset base, from critical machinery to infrastructure.

Work Order Management

Automate the creation, tracking, and closure of maintenance tasks with full audit trails.

Scheduling and Planning

Assign tasks based on condition, usage, or time intervals – and monitor performance over time.

Reporting and Analytics

Get real-time insights into maintenance activity, KPIs, and asset health.

Integration Capabilities

Ensure seamless data flow between your PPM system and other key platforms like ERP, inventory or compliance tools.

Why it matters

  • Boost equipment reliability and longevity
  • Minimise unplanned downtime
  • Optimise maintenance operations
  • Cut unnecessary costs
  • Meet industry compliance standards
  • Keep staff and equipment safe

Choosing the right solution

To find the best fit, start by defining your operational needs. Consider:

  • Do you need integration with finance or stock systems?
  • Is scalability important for future growth?
  • What reporting detail is essential?
  • Have you seen a live demo?

At Otoni, we’ll help you assess these points and find the right configuration to meet your specific requirements.
