Solution · For operations managers

You manage people, not a backlog of tickets.

You have 40 assets, 9 technicians, two plants, and a board meeting Friday. AssetOS is built so Monday morning takes 15 minutes, not two hours — and so the reports you send upstairs don't require a weekend of spreadsheeting.

A day in the life · with AssetOS

Three moments in your week
that used to suck.

Real workflows from real customers. The “before” column is what it used to look like on whichever CMMS (or spreadsheet) they replaced. The “after” is what it takes now.

08:00 · MONDAY

The morning triage.

Figuring out what happened overnight, what's now overdue, and who can absorb which jobs this week.

Before AssetOS

Open three email threads, scroll Slack, chase the weekend tech on WhatsApp, reconcile their notes to the paper log, update the whiteboard. ≈ 95 minutes.

After · 12 minutes

Weekly-view dashboard opens to "needs you" queue. Overnight events auto-logged with photos and sensor context. Reassign with drag-and-drop.

↓ 87% faster · −83 min/wk
15:30 · THURSDAY

The "where's the budget?" call.

Your VP asks for YTD parts spend by asset category, with a forecast for quarter-end. She needs it by 17:00.

Before AssetOS

Export three CSVs from the CMMS, cross-reference with AP in QuickBooks, hand-categorise in Excel, build pivot, email screenshot. ≈ 110 minutes.

After · 4 minutes

Open Budget view, filter by category, click "Share as PDF". Forecast auto-computed from current run-rate + scheduled PMs.

↓ 96% faster · −106 min
31 · MONTH-END

The board report.

OEE by line, unplanned downtime cost, PM compliance, backlog trend, top 5 problem assets. Written and sent.

Before AssetOS

Download raw data, assemble in Google Sheets, tell Claude to draw charts, paste into the board deck, chase three tech leads for narrative. ≈ 5 hours.

After · 25 minutes

Monthly report auto-generates on day 1. You review, annotate, and send. Narrative prompts ask "what explains the 14% availability dip on Line B?"

The report you send upstairs

Wednesday afternoon,
not a weekend project.

The monthly operations report, built for the people who read it (CFO, COO, Board) — not the people who write it. Every chart drills through to the underlying work orders.

The list of things you stop doing

Ten jobs you won't miss one bit.

These are the low-leverage, high-friction tasks our customers mention dropping in the first 60 days. Reclaim the hours.

Chasing paper PM sheets

Techs complete PMs in-app on their phone. The record is the receipt.

"Where's the stock of X?" on Slack

Inventory is live, tied to WO consumption, with reorder thresholds.

Reconciling contractor invoices manually

Contractors log work in-app. Invoice matches to the WO automatically.

Asking "what did we do last time?"

Every asset has its full WO history, photos, and tech notes attached.

Building board decks from scratch

Monthly report auto-generates. You edit the narrative, not the charts.

Weekend ETL projects to get costs right

Labour, parts, and contractor costs roll up per asset — live.

Asking auditors to come back next week

Full audit trail is exportable. Last 12 of our customers passed on first visit.

Remembering who's on holiday this week

Scheduler knows availability. Won't assign a WO to someone off-shift.

Printing work packs for techs

Jobs open on their phone with the checklist, parts list, and SOPs pre-loaded.

Updating a wall whiteboard

Display mode on any screen. Auto-refreshes. Never out of date.
