ManagerPlus Pricing Packages: What’s Included in the Pricing Plans?

Running a business is no easy feat. There are many moving parts you can’t always check. This is why a reliable CMMS solution is an indispensable business tool. From inventory to inspections, work orders, and preventive maintenance, CMMS makes it possible for you to be on top of business operations.

One reliable CMMS solution is ManagerPlus. It’s made up of different modules that have specific applications in asset-intensive industries. These include manufacturing, construction, government, and agribusiness.  This article will take a closer look at ManagerPlus pricing packages and the different features included in the pricing plans. You can have a better understanding of which plan is best for your business requirements.

There’s no denying the power of CMMS when it comes to streamlining different aspects of business operations. Not
only does the software help workers increase productivity, but it also reduces costs. This is perhaps why 53% of facilities use CMMS over other technologies when it comes to maintenance management.

Overview of ManagerPlus

ManagerPlus is a cloud-based, enterprise asset management software that enables you to connect all aspects of your business processes. It consists of five modules: work order management, inventory management, asset management, inspection module, and preventive maintenance. All modules are designed with ease of use and flexibility in mind. That’s why your operators and technicians can easily use the software on a variety of digital devices. Using MangerPlus to streamline your processes, you can increase business productivity and decrease your operations cost.

Moreover, ManagePlus is packed with cutting-edge features that help you push your day-to-day operations to a more efficient level. These include automatic work orders, real-time updates, IoT integration, big data analytics, and compliance features. It also comes with features like bar code scanning and printing, inventory tracking and forecasting, and preventive maintenance scheduling.

IoT integration and other key features

IoT integration lets you connect your devices to the ManagerPlus platform. As a result, you can easily gather data from your assets and conduct predictive maintenance programs. Moreover, data-driven maintenance allows you to receive notifications when it’s time to do maintenance work on a machine or equipment. These maintenance reminders are often based on past breakdowns and work history, making maintenance work less worrisome. Automated notifications mean you don’t have to keep track of your maintenance schedule consciously.

When it comes to inspections, ManagerPlus allows you to simplify complicated inspection responsibilities. This means you can get your assets back online in no time. For example, it comes with a mobile Operator Companion, customizable inspection templates, and simple “pass” or “fail” buttons so that your inspectors can quickly go through inspections and safety checklists.

In addition to its robust features, the mobile app of ManagerPlus contributes to increased transparency within your organization and teams. Users can access checklists, reports, procedures, etc., wherever they are via the mobile app. You’ll be able to reduce manual touchpoints and make informed, timely decisions about important concerns in your business, such as asset availability, the total cost of ownership, and failure analysis.

ManagerPlus integrates with several GPS and OEM equipment providers. You can also choose from a wide range of connectors, plugins, and the ManagerPlus API for your custom requirements.

Which ManagerPlus Plan Is Best for You?

When it comes to choosing a subscription plan, one of the biggest considerations is usually the price. For ManagerPlus, it only provides two types of pricing plans, which can be a bit constraining for businesses used to see many options from other vendors. There’s no free trial as well, so you won’t have a chance to figure out which features in which plan can meet your business needs.

Another consideration is that with ManagerPlus pricing packages, you have a lock-in period of 12 months no matter which of the two plans you choose. The subscription is renewable every year, and you can cancel at the time of renewal. This policy can be a big deal for many companies who have not yet implemented a CMMS and want to test the waters first before committing to a long-term plan.

So, what’s our recommendation on how you can go about choosing your ManagerPlus plan? If the price is a significant concern, we suggest going with the Lightning Plus plan. It’s the more affordable option between the two plans and already has the basic and additional features you’d expect from a modern CMMS. When you get to the point where your business needs more advanced features, you can always upgrade to the Lightning Experience plan.
