CMMS Workflow Automation
Stop managing maintenance manually. Automate work order assignment, escalation, approvals, and SLA enforcement so your team can focus on fixing things — not chasing paperwork.
Automate Every Step of the Maintenance Workflow
FacilityLane replaces manual handoffs with intelligent automation — from the moment a request arrives to the moment the work order is closed and signed off.
Automatic Work Order Assignment
Route incoming work orders to the right technician or team instantly, based on skill set, location, shift schedule, and current workload — no dispatcher required.
Escalation Rules
Define time-based escalation paths so overdue or high-priority tasks are automatically flagged and reassigned to supervisors before SLAs are breached.
Approval Workflows
Require manager sign-off before high-cost repairs proceed. Build multi-step approval chains with automatic notifications and full audit trails for every decision.
SLA Triggers & Monitoring
Set response and resolution time targets by priority level, asset type, or location. Get real-time SLA compliance dashboards and alerts before deadlines are missed.
Recurring Task Automation
Convert any maintenance schedule into auto-generated work orders. Set frequencies, assign teams, and let FacilityLane handle the creation and notification automatically.
Custom Workflow Builder
Build tailored workflows for any maintenance scenario without writing code. Configure conditions, actions, and notifications using a simple visual rule engine.

What Our Customers Say
"Before FacilityLane, our team lead spent two hours every morning manually assigning work orders. Now it happens automatically in seconds and the team lead focuses on actual technical work."
"Our SLA compliance went from 67% to 94% within 90 days of turning on the escalation rules. The operations board can see the numbers in real time and our clients are far happier."
"The approval workflow for capital repairs has saved us from several costly mistakes. Nothing over a certain threshold moves forward without the right sign-off, and the audit trail is invaluable."
