All Use CasesMaintenance planning software that hits the schedule
Plan the week visually, balance the load across the crew, and let PM work generate itself - so you hit 94% schedule compliance and cut the backlog by 40% instead of rebuilding the plan every time a job slips.
A schedule the crew actually hits
Drag work onto the week, see who’s free, and balance the load before the shift starts. Planners running AssetLab hit 94% schedule compliance instead of rebuilding the plan every time a job slips.
Match the work to the right hands
Every technician has a lane on the calendar showing the work already booked, and specialist groups pick up their own work categories - so the job lands with someone who can do it and isn’t already buried.
Watch the backlog shrink, not grow
PM work generates itself on schedule and overdue jobs surface before they pile up. Planners cut their maintenance backlog by around 40% by working ahead of it instead of behind it.
Build the week, then watch it hold
When the plan lives in a whiteboard and a dozen heads, one slipped job unravels the week. AssetLab puts every work order and PM on a visual schedule, shows who’s available, and stages the parts ahead of time - so jobs start on time and the plan survives contact with the shift.
- Drag-and-drop the week across the whole crew
- Each technician’s lane shows what is already booked
- A morning alert when upcoming PMs need parts you don’t have
- 94% schedule compliance instead of constant rework
The right hands on the right jobs
Assigning blind means one technician is buried in overtime while another sits idle, and a specialist job lands with someone who can’t sign off on it. AssetLab gives each technician a calendar lane with the work already booked, and auto-assigns specialist groups the work categories they cover, so work goes where it fits.
- Specialist groups auto-assigned by work category
- Each technician’s booked work visible in their lane
- Contractors assigned alongside in-house crews
- Less overtime, fewer dropped jobs
Work ahead of the backlog, not behind it
Backlog grows when PM work depends on someone remembering it and overdue jobs hide in a list nobody reviews. AssetLab generates recurring work on schedule, surfaces what’s slipping, and lets you drag it onto an open day - so the backlog shrinks quarter over quarter.
- PM work generated automatically on its interval
- Overdue and at-risk jobs surfaced early
- Unscheduled work dragged straight onto the calendar
- Around 40% less backlog over time

Wrench time and backlog trends
“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.”
