Planned preventive maintenance (PPM) is scheduled work generated from calendars, meter readings or regulatory cycles — filter changes, fire inspections, pool tests, lift servicing. CMMS products generate PPM work orders; the hard part is ensuring external contractors actually attend and leave evidence before the next due date.
OpsChase generates PPM instances on assets and sites, assigns them through the preferred book, and applies the same chase-to-proof mechanics as reactive jobs. Seasonal calendars and statutory schedules can differ by vertical — gyms, aged care, councils — without treating PPM as a separate product.
Define schedules on assets or templates. Let the system spawn work orders ahead of due dates. Contractors receive accepts like any other job; missed dates surface in portfolio dashboards. Proof requirements ensure certificates attach to the asset history.
Pair with CMMS and work order glossary entries for object relationships.
OpsChase turns this into a working flow: chase your preferred contractors to done, require proof before a job closes, and RFQ with compliance onboarding when you need the market. Book a demo to see it on your sites — one location or many.
- Can PPM and reactive share contractors?
- Yes. Preferred rank applies to both; RFQ fills gaps for either type.
- Do PPM jobs skip chase?
- No. Silence on a scheduled fire inspection is still a breach.
- Can we pause PPM around holidays?
- Blackout and quiet-hour rules on sites adjust scheduling windows.
