How to build a CMMS
Follow these steps in Evonx to a computerized maintenance management system with assets, work orders, and PM schedules. Use the CMMS template when technicians need a structured backlog instead of ad-hoc tickets.
Step-by-step
Inventory assets and sites
Document asset hierarchy, locations, and criticality so work orders attach to the right equipment.
Start from the CMMS template
Open the CMMS template or describe assets, work orders, and spare parts in the first prompt.
Model work orders and PMs
Create work orders, preventive schedules, parts usage, and labor time with status transitions.
Add technician mobile views
Ask for assigned queues, checklists, photo attachments, and close-out with meter readings.
Notify on SLA breaches
Wire email or Slack alerts for overdue PMs and high-priority breakdowns.
Preview and hand off
Validate permissions for planners vs technicians in preview, then merge via pull request.
Outcome
A CMMS codebase with assets, work orders, PM schedules, and parts usage you can preview and ship.

FAQ
CMMS vs field service—which guide?
Choose CMMS for plant and facility assets. Choose field service when jobs are customer-site appointments with routing.
Do I need IoT meters on day one?
No. Start with manual meter entry and PM calendars; add sensor integrations later as evolution threads.
How should spare parts relate to work orders?
Issue parts against a work order with quantities and residual stock so inventory and maintenance stay aligned.
Build production software with Evonx
Start from a template or connect an existing repository. Evonx helps you ship real applications with preview, evolution threads, and pull-request delivery—not disposable demos.
