Work order management is the process of organizing, tracking, and overseeing work-related requests (e.g., maintenance) within a business or organization. It involves the creation, assignment, and monitoring of work orders from initiation to completion, ensuring that all work items are addressed efficiently and effectively.
Work order management systems often include features for request submission, approval, scheduling, assignment to appropriate personnel, and progress tracking, providing a comprehensive solution for managing workflows and optimizing operational efficiency.
Now, let's walk through a few fundamental questions to provide a deeper understanding:
What is a Work Request?
A work request serves as the initial step in the process, allowing users to submit their work needs to the team through our platform. Users simply open the "Work Request" form, input necessary details such as description, location, and category, upload relevant attachments, and submit their request for review.
What Happens Once a Work Request is Submitted?
Once submitted for review, a work request undergoes review by designated users with the necessary permissions. If approved, it is transformed into a work order, which then gets added to the Work Manager for further processing and ultimately, fulfillment.
What is a Work Order?
A work order is essentially an approved work request, containing all details provided by the requester. It serves as a formal assignment for the fulfillment team and allows users, including the original requester, to track the status and progress of the request, thereby ensuring transparency and accountability throughout the process.
