Maintenance & equipment
Equipment & plant maintenance software
- Preventive maintenance
- Per-asset history
- MTBF & MTTR indicators
Maintenance software registers machinery and equipment, schedules preventive maintenance on a calendar and tracks work requests to closure, with a history for every machine. In Odoo, maintenance is linked to manufacturing: a breakdown reported on the shop floor becomes a tracked request, and indicators like MTBF and MTTR are computed from real intervention data.
What maintenance management software is
It's the system that keeps machinery, plant and equipment under control: a record for each asset, preventive work scheduled on a calendar, corrective requests when something breaks and a complete history of what was done. With this data you know which machines stop most often and what maintaining them costs — and the documented history is also a tidy basis for the periodic-maintenance duties tied to safety.
From breakdown (or calendar) to closed intervention
Every intervention stays in the machine's history.
- 01
Equipment register
Each machine has its record: department, owner, supplier, warranty and technical references, all in one place.
- 02
Preventive maintenance plan
Define the frequency of periodic work and Odoo generates calendar requests, before the breakdown happens.
- 03
Breakdown reporting
Whoever works on the floor reports the problem and opens a corrective request, with no phone calls or notes that get lost.
- 04
Scheduling & intervention
Requests move through stages on a kanban board, assigned to the maintenance team with priorities and expected dates.
- 05
Closure & indicators
The closed intervention feeds the history and the indicators: mean time between failures (MTBF) and mean time to repair (MTTR).
What Odoo's maintenance handles
The features we most often configure for SMEs.
Equipment records
Machines and equipment registered by department and owner, with warranties, suppliers and intervention history.
Calendar-driven preventive work
Periodic requests are generated automatically from the frequency you set for each machine.
Corrective requests in kanban
Breakdowns become requests that move through stages, with priority, assignee and dates under control.
Maintenance teams
Multiple teams with their own work queues, to separate internal, external or per-site maintenance.
MTBF & MTTR indicators
Mean time between failures and mean time to repair computed from real interventions, per machine.
Linked to manufacturing
Requests tie into work centres: downtime is planned at the right moments instead of suffered.
Spreadsheet schedules vs integrated maintenance
What changes between running maintenance from memory and having it in the suite.
| Sheets, notebooks and memory | Integrated maintenance (Odoo) | |
|---|---|---|
| Periodic work | From memory or on sheets | Calendar-generated from frequency |
| Breakdowns | Reported verbally, often lost | Tracked requests with priority |
| History | Scattered across notebooks and emails | Complete on each machine's record |
| Maintenance costs | Impossible to attribute | Readable per machine and period |
| Production downtime | Arrives without warning | Planned at the right moments |
Connected to manufacturing, inventory and people
Maintenance doesn't live alone: requests tie into manufacturing work centres, so downtime is planned where it hurts least; spare parts are kept in inventory and reordered through purchasing; equipment assigned to people (laptops, vehicles, tools) stays tracked on HR records. It's the same data crossing the shop floor and the office.
Who it's for
Manufacturing companies
Producers that can't afford unplanned machine downtime on lines and work centres.
Equipment-heavy businesses
Fleets of vehicles, tools and instruments spread across crews, sites or branches that need a register.
Those who must document
Businesses that must evidence periodic maintenance for safety, customers or certifications.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about maintenance software
What's good maintenance software for an SME?
For most SMEs, maintenance integrated in the main suite is best, so breakdowns come from the floor, spare parts live in inventory and downtime is planned with production. Odoo covers preventive, corrective, history and indicators; Gitogi configures it around your real machines.
Does it handle preventive maintenance?
Yes. You set the frequency for each machine and periodic requests are generated automatically on the calendar, assigned to the right team before the breakdown happens.
Can shop-floor workers report a breakdown?
Yes. The report opens a tracked corrective request with the machine already linked: no phone calls to the technician or forgotten faults.
Does it help with the maintenance records required for safety?
The per-machine intervention history is a tidy, always-available documentary basis. Which registers and checks are mandatory for your plant must be assessed with your safety officer: during analysis we configure the records around what you actually need to document.
How much does Odoo's maintenance cost?
Prices and editions are on odoo.com, always up to date. Gitogi does not resell licences: we handle the equipment register, preventive plans, configuration and training. For an estimate, get in touch.
Can I start with maintenance and add more later?
Yes. You can activate maintenance and add manufacturing, inventory or quality control when needed, on the same platform and without migrations.
