Stop the 2 a.m. emergencies before they happen

Preventive maintenance schedules trigger HVAC, elevator, and boiler service on time, every time - so equipment gets maintained before it fails, not after the tenant calls. Facilities running AssetLab cut emergency repairs by 40%.

Every request in one place, answered from a phone

Tenant requests and work orders land in one prioritized queue and get updated from the field with photos. No more sticky notes, buried emails, or “what did I tell that tenant?” Response times drop by 60%.

Walk into the audit already ready

Fire inspections, elevator certs, backflow tests - the compliance calendar tracks every requirement, auto-creates the work order weeks ahead, and keeps the documentation an inspector asks for. No missed dates, no fines.

Maintained on schedule, not after the failure

Emergency repairs cost two to three times the normal rate, disrupt tenants, and shorten equipment life - and they happen because PM schedules live in someone’s head instead of a system. AssetLab automates preventive maintenance for HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire safety, and elevators, generating work orders with pre-filled checklists before anything breaks.

  • Automated PM schedules for every building system
  • Work orders generated ahead of the due date with checklists
  • Emergency repair rate cut from a third of jobs to under 10%
  • Equipment that lasts longer on planned maintenance

One queue for every request, updated from the field

Phone calls, emails, and sticky notes don’t scale past a few dozen open jobs. AssetLab gives tenants a self-service portal to submit and track requests, routes everything into one prioritized queue, and lets your team update work orders with photos from a phone - so response times drop and the complaint calls stop.

  • Tenant self-service portal for requests and status
  • One prioritized queue across every building
  • Mobile work orders with photos, notes, and time tracking
  • Automatic status notifications to tenants and staff

Never miss another inspection

A lapsed fire inspection or elevator cert means fines, denied insurance claims, and a building one violation away from being shut down. AssetLab’s compliance calendar tracks every regulatory requirement, auto-generates the work order 30 days ahead, sends reminders, and keeps audit-ready documentation against each asset.

  • Automated calendar for fire, elevator, HVAC, backflow, and more
  • Work orders auto-created weeks before the due date
  • Reminders at 30, 14, and 7 days out
  • Audit-ready documentation and full inspection history

Being able to look at a work order and see it in the context of the broader asset lifecycle, or to plan a capital replacement while already seeing the maintenance history behind it, has made me a sharper and more focused manager. I'm not toggling between systems anymore. I'm working in one place, with the full picture in front of me.

Facilities Manager Software FAQ

Common questions about preventive maintenance, work orders, tenant portals, and compliance tracking for facilities managers.

What is facilities manager software?

It’s a CMMS built for the people who run buildings - automating preventive maintenance, routing work orders and tenant requests into one queue, and tracking every compliance inspection, so facilities run proactively instead of lurching from one emergency to the next.

How does AssetLab reduce emergency repairs?

Preventive maintenance schedules service for HVAC, elevators, boilers, and fire systems on a calendar and auto-generates the work order with a checklist before anything breaks. Facilities typically cut emergency repairs - which cost two to three times the normal rate - by around 40%.

Can tenants submit maintenance requests themselves?

Yes. A self-service tenant portal lets occupants submit and track requests, which flow straight into your work order queue with automatic status updates - eliminating the phone calls, repeat “any update?” emails, and sticky notes that bury a busy facilities team.

How does AssetLab handle compliance inspections?

Compliance tracking keeps a calendar of every regulatory requirement - fire safety, elevator certs, backflow, emergency lighting - auto-creates the work order 30 days out, sends reminders at 30/14/7 days, and stores the certificates and reports as an audit-ready trail against each asset.

Can facilities teams update work orders from their phones?

Maintenance teams update jobs from the field on any phone - add photos and notes, log time, and mark complete - and it syncs in real time. Pair it with a QR scan on the asset record to pull history and manuals on the spot, no trip back to the office.

Does AssetLab work across multiple buildings?

Yes. Manage an entire portfolio from one system - work orders, PM, vendors, and compliance roll up across every building, and the facility management solution scales from a single property to dozens of sites.
