  • Tracking asset cost readings (Repairs, Maintenance, Production Downtime)

Using the same functionality just launched for meter readings / run-time hours, could there also be a way of tracking costs associated with an asset, for example, tracking total downtime due to faults and keeping a tally of repair costs? This may allow my clients to determine whether it is best (more cost-effective/safer) to replace the asset rather than making regular repairs.

Hi ​@Jane-2192 

 

This is certainly something we plan to support in the future, however have a few other things on the roadmap before we get there. 

 

In the meantime there is a way to do this using Actions. Create a new Action Type (maybe called work-orders) and add additional custom fields for cost, labour, time to repair etc. This data can then be exported to a CSV file and sorted and filtered by assets to the get information. 

 

We also have a developer partner called Cast Solutions, who can link up data and build out dashboards that are embedded into SC, and take this information and visualise it in various ways.

 

Let me know if you want to discuss further and we can arrange a time to talk. 

 

Cheers,

Duncan

 

 

Hi Duncan,

Thanks for the CSV workaround. It will support putting together monthly reports, but it will be good to have it as an asset to read in the future and see it live. With the currency feature on actions, is there a way of setting the currency? Having to change it from AUD for each action is pretty tedious. Is there any way of setting the currency for the organisation to override this?
