CWorks Systems Berhad expects CWorks NETMain, its latest cutting edge product in Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS), to contribute significantly to the operational efficiency of asset-intensive industries.

Based on web-native architecture, CWorks NETMain is a product that allows users to have anywhere, anytime access to their maintenance information through their Internet browser. This makes it ideal for organizations with multiple locations, where maintenance data from various remote sites can be centralized in one database, to allow for corporate wide maintenance planning and control.

Targeted at companies in the manufacturing, facility management, asset intensive and service management industries, CWorks NETMain will be able to offer a cost savings of between 5% to 15%. The new product will be backed by an experienced support team.

“The designed simplicity of our products and service delivery have helped increase our implementation success rate. “Simple” is the theme for CWorks NETMain. And accordingly, CWorks vision is quite simply, “The sensible approach to maintenance”. As such, we are confident our product will be well received by both clients and potential clients,” said chief executive officer Abdul Rani Achmed.

He said the company has already secured contracts for CWorks web based products in a number of facilities in Malaysia such as Putrajaya Holdings, Universiti Utara Malaysia and Aliran Bekalan Air Selangor Selatan. Currently CWorks NETmain is being evaluated by a number of companies in Malaysia and the US.

CWorks NETMain’s enhanced enterprise features range from asset management such as asset register and facility register; complaint/service request management to work management covering records of who, what, when, where, why and how of repair work. It also offers preventive maintenance work management like tracking of routine and scheduled work and material management encompassing management of procurement and stores on spare parts and consumables.

CWorks NETMain can be purchased and installed fully in-house for a one-time fee or housed on CWorks servers in Malaysia or the US on a monthly subscription basis.
