Redefine Equipment Maintenance in Business Central with Maintenance Manager

The Maintenance Manager app for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central helps manufacturers reduce downtime, extend equipment life, and streamline maintenance with integrated scheduling, mobile access, and data-driven planning.
 

Insight Works, a leading Independent Software Vendor (ISV) for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, continues to enhance its structured approach to maintenance management with Maintenance Manager. This purpose-built solution transforms how teams manage equipment maintenance inside Business Central.

Maintenance Manager streamlines maintenance, maximizes uptime, and ensures assets last longer by replacing disconnected tools and outdated processes. The app centralizes preventive and corrective maintenance planning, execution, and tracking—all within the same system used to run daily operations.

“With Maintenance Manager, companies take full control of maintenance without leaving Business Central,” said Brian Neufeld, Director of Marketing at Insight Works. “They can plan, execute, and track tasks in one place while aligning maintenance with production schedules and resource availability.”

Keep Maintenance Moving Forward

Maintenance Manager simplifies complex maintenance workflows. Planners schedule tasks based on runtime, distance, output quantity, or calendar intervals. Each work order includes spare parts, routing steps, work instructions, and safety documentation.

Technicians access and complete tasks using the Business Central mobile app, whether they’re on the shop floor or in the field. When a work order involves production equipment, the app blocks off machine capacity to prevent scheduling conflicts and ensure smooth operations.
