A computerised maintenance management system (CMMS) is software that holds assets, locations, work orders and maintenance history for buildings and equipment. Teams use it to log defects, schedule preventive maintenance (PPM), attach documents and report on backlog and completion. Traditional CMMS products often assume in-house technicians or a single facilities team executing the work.
OpsChase includes CMMS-shaped objects — sites, assets, work orders, PPM schedules, parts and audit trails — but optimises for operators who buy maintenance from external trade organisations. The chase layer nudges preferred contractors until they accept, attend and close with proof. RFQ and supplier onboarding cover gaps when the preferred book cannot attend. For Australian multi-site portfolios, that combination matters more than a CMMS that only records what you wished had happened.
Use OpsChase as the operator CMMS: raise reactive jobs, schedule PPM, link assets and rooms, and require photos or certificates before complete. Contractors interact through the tradie portal; you keep portfolio visibility. Compare glossary entries on FSM and work orders for how field execution differs from operator chase.
Book a demo if your question is whether CMMS alone solves contractor silence — it usually does not without SLA ladders and proof gates on the same work order.
For how facilities maintenance ops differs from asset registers alone, see the facilities maintenance glossary entry.
OpsChase turns this into a working flow: chase your preferred contractors to done, require proof before a job closes, and RFQ with compliance onboarding when you need the market. Book a demo to see it on your sites — one location or many.
- Is OpsChase only a CMMS?
- No. It is operator maintenance software plus preferred contractor chase, compliance on trade orgs, and marketplace RFQ when needed.
- Can we import assets from spreadsheets?
- Yes. You can load assets and sites from spreadsheets during onboarding; PPM attaches to those records.
- Does CMMS imply in-house staff?
- Not in OpsChase. The default actor is your preferred contractor network, with proof required to close.
