How to Calculate (and Improve) Your CMMS ROI

Businesses must constantly look for ways to reduce operational costs, increase productivity, and make the best use of their assets in today’s competitive market. As a result, many organizations are implementing a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS+) as a solution.

By centralizing the management of maintenance activities and enabling users to gain access to important information organization-wide, this software can help users achieve significant cost savings and operational efficiencies.

So today, we will discuss the advantages of using CMMS software. We will also review how an organization can calculate the potential ROI of its investments, with examples. We’ll talk about how to boost your CMMS ROI before introducing LLumin’s advanced CMMS+ features, which can help you save even more than with other traditional solutions.

The Benefits of CMMS Solutions

If you’re new to implementing a CMMS solution, you should know this software can provide several advantages to an organization that depends on its assets’ performance. First and foremost, an advanced CMMS can provide real-time visibility to all personnel and stakeholders, enabling an organization to make data-driven decisions and optimize maintenance activities for maximum efficiency.

While the associated costs with a technology investment are always front and center, for organizations looking to cut costs and improve their operations, it’s a worthwhile investment.

Below, we have given a quick overview of some of the benefits of an advanced CMMS.

Calculating the ROI of a CMMS Solution

To understand and discover the best cost savings when investing in a new CMMS software, you’ll need to calculate your return on investment (ROI). This calculation will help you weigh the advantages of implementing your solution against its associated costs.

Several formulas can be used to calculate your CMMS ROI. However, a commonly used formula to determine ROI is:

ROI = (Total Benefits – Total Costs) / Total Costs

When determining the effectiveness of your CMMS implementation, you should consider the benefits gained, such as lower repair costs, improved asset utilization, and decreased equipment downtime. 

Also, carefully factor in the costs of your new CMMS, such as your software licensing fees, implementation costs, ongoing maintenance costs, and support costs.

For example, suppose a manufacturing company invests $50,000 in a new CMMS system that helps to reduce production defects and increase efficiency. Over the first year, the company estimates that the system will generate cost savings of $75,000. 

The ROI can then be calculated as:

ROI = (Gains from the investment – Cost of investment) / Cost of investment

            ($75,000 – $50,000) / $50,000 = 0.5

In this case, the ROI calculation equaled 0.5, indicating that the benefits of the investment were equal to half of the initial investment. While the definition of a good ROI varies by industry, a positive ROI is always desirable.

How to Improve Your CMMS ROI

A CMMS can help organizations maintain a competitive advantage and derive several attractive benefits, but ensuring you’re getting the most out of your CMMS software investment is critical.

We’ve listed a few suggestions to help you increase your ROI and get the most out of your new CMMS solution.
