Question 1

What is a CMMS and why is it worth using?

Accepted Answer

A CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) is maintenance management software that digitises work orders, asset management, preventive maintenance scheduling and fault reporting. With ServiceLeaf CMMS you can cut unplanned downtime by up to 30% and reduce administrative time by 40%.

Question 2

How is CMMS maintenance software better than Excel?

Accepted Answer

Excel does not update in real time, has no automatic reminders and provides no auditable logging. A CMMS maintenance software like ServiceLeaf automatically schedules preventive maintenance, notifies technicians on mobile, and logs every action — which is demonstrable during official inspections and HACCP audits.

Question 3

How does the digital work order system work?

Accepted Answer

In the digital work order system, maintenance tasks are created electronically, assigned to technicians on mobile, tracked in real time, and automatically documented on completion. No paper, no manual data entry — the technician captures photos and notes right on site.

Question 4

How long does implementation take?

Accepted Answer

On average the system goes live within 2 weeks. In simpler cases 1 week is enough. During implementation you receive hands-on support — we help you upload your data and train your team.

Question 5

Do we need to install anything?

Accepted Answer

No, ServiceLeaf runs in the browser. It is accessible from computer, tablet and phone alike — no IT department required.

Question 6

Is our data secure?

Accepted Answer

We store data on EU servers over an encrypted connection (AES-256, TLS 1.3). GDPR-compliant data handling, with a log kept of every action.

Question 7

Can I import from Excel?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can easily upload assets, locations and spare parts from an Excel file. The system recognises the columns and validates the data before import.
