NeedSpreadsheetMaintenance platformJodoo workflow
Simple request listEasy to start but weak for required fields, evidence, and requester updates.Useful when maintenance planning and asset hierarchy are already mature.Use a maintenance request form with required fields, owner views, reminders, and dashboards.
Facility work order handoffAssignment, schedule changes, and blocked reasons drift into messages.Strong when dispatch, technician planning, and parts control are core needs.Connect facility work orders to status, assignee, parts notes, and closeout proof.
Evidence and closeoutPhotos, files, and verification notes are hard to keep attached over time.Strong when full maintenance history and costing are required.Attach evidence, completion notes, reviewer decisions, and recurring issue flags to the same record.
Management visibilityOpen requests, aging, and owner workload require manual reporting.Strong when enterprise reporting is already configured.Use dashboards for open work, overdue requests, recurring issues, and owner workload.
