March 10, 2003—MicroMain Corporation’s newest release of its computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) incorporates fleet management as an integral component of the system and extensively upgrades features related to asset and inventory management. With release 6.0, MicroMain Corporation, a provider of asset and facilities management software and services, also announced the product’s name change from MS2000 to MicroMain XM.
Unlike standard practice for other CMMS products, MicroMain XM will ship with the entire source code included, which gives customers complete control regarding customization.
New fleet management features in MicroMain XM enable customers to manage the maintenance and costs associated with all vehicles. This includes tracking vehicles, Vehicle Maintenance Reporting Standards (VMRS) codes, tires, fuel, and fluids. The software also allows users to store detailed fleet information, such as tire warranty and usage—including a warning, for example, when the current tread depth on a vehicle’s tire falls below the standard safety level of 2 millimeters.
Other new features are designed to enhance management of labor, parts, and work orders. Users can track individual labor work order assignments and view current estimated hours scheduled to work. In addition, users can store pictures of parts, identify and track cross-referenced parts, track individual purchase orders, add or remove assets to which a part has been assigned, and view a summary of part inventory quantities and costs.
New functionality also includes additional filtering options, Microsoft Outlook-like scheduling capabilities, calendar control for date fields, and more form selections. Editing options are now available in areas such as sales tax rate fields on purchase orders and inspection failure fields.
