Enterprises worldwide are increasingly moving towards digital transformation, adopting various solutions to oversee maintenance and management.
Key Highlights
- According to Cisco, customers are becoming more interested in smart factories, and by the end of 2022, machine-to-machine (M2M) connections that support IoT applications are predicted to account for more than half of the 28.5 billion connected devices worldwide.
- Work order management is scheduling, planning, tracking, and managing work orders for a business's maintenance, installation, and repair tasks. Reducing costs, equipment downtime, and optimizing operations are augmenting the digitalization of facilities across the globe. Adopting a work order management system allows enterprises to opt for preventive maintenance, making it easy to place service requests and gain real-time updates.
- Due to SMEs' growing inclination towards adopting cloud-based management solutions, smaller vendors are expected to increase their focus on catering to such enterprises regionally. Smaller vendors are expected to command dominance in several clients, and large vendors are increasingly engaging in M&A activities to gain regional market share.
- For instance, In May 2022, Verisk announced the acquisition of Pruvan, a provider of field-to-office management solutions for property preservation and construction professionals. The acquisition would help clients in saving time and reduce operating costs. Such developments are expected to increase over the coming years and reshape the market.
- COVID-19 impacted the studied market through the increased need for remote work and collaboration tools. Many organizations shifted to remote work, making managing work orders more challenging. As a result, there was an increased demand for work order management solutions accessible from anywhere.
