The Startup’s Guide to Choosing the Right CMMS

 If your company is still in its early stages or is operating as a small to mid-sized enterprise, you’ve probably asked yourself:
 “Do I really need a CMMS right now? Which one should I choose? What’s the difference between them?”
 This guide is made for you — to help you understand how to choose the right Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) that matches your company’s size and resources.

When Should You Start Using a CMMS?

 If you’re facing any of the following issues:

Equipment is breaking down frequently.

You struggle to keep track of maintenance schedules.

Spare parts inventory is unclear.

You're spending too much on maintenance with little to show for it.

Then it’s time to stop thinking of CMMS as a luxury — it’s a necessity.

Main Types of CMMS Systems.

Cloud-Based CMMS:

Fast setup.
Lower initial cost.
Secure data.
Accessible from anywhere.

On-Premises CMMS:

Greater data privacy.
Full control.
Requires in-house IT support.

At MAS Automation, both options are available — tailored to your company’s infrastructure and IT setup.

How to Choose the Right CMMS?

1- Number of Assets You Manage.

Less than 50 machines? A simple system can do the job.

More than that? You'll need a powerful platform like MAS CMMS.

2- Maintenance Team Size.

MAS CMMS allows you to assign roles, manage permissions, and delegate tasks easily — whether your team is small or large.

3- What’s Your Operating Budget?

Choose a scalable solution that lets you start small and expand as your business grows.

4- Do You Need Integration with ERP or SCADA?

If you operate in manufacturing or industrial sectors, seamless integration is crucial — and MAS CMMS fully supports it.

Golden Tips Before You Choose.

Always test a live demo before purchasing.

Ask about after-sales support and technical assistance.

Make sure the system is scalable as your operations expand.
