How to fill out the work order?
A step-by-step guide to completing a work order correctly
Order identification
Assign a unique order number (e.g. WO-2026-001), enter the date and the type of work. A unique number makes it easier to look up later.
Requester details
Fill in the requester name, department and contact details. Also enter the name of the approving person.
Task and location
Describe the requested work, the location and the asset involved in detail. Accuracy helps the maintenance team do their job.

Approval
Authorise the start of the work with the requester and approver signatures. Without the signature, maintenance cannot begin.

Why isn't a paper work order enough?
There's nothing wrong with a paper work order — until you need to track it, approve it or plan costs
Orders cannot be tracked
A paper order tells you nothing about who received it, whether it was started, or where it stands.
Approval takes weeks
The paper has to be carried to the manager for signature, who is out of office, or the document gets lost along the way.
Zero budget visibility
You cannot see how much has been spent so far or how much budget is left. Overspending only surfaces too late.
Duplicate orders
The same job gets ordered twice because there is no shared view where everyone can see what is already in progress.
Paper work order vs. digital
Same goal, but one is far more efficient
