Preventive maintenance defined:

Preventive maintenance (preventative maintenance) is a systematic approach to regularly inspecting the pieces of equipment, machines, and other assets in your building in order to reduce breakdowns and failures and to preserve the operating environment of your building.


Get ahead of corrective maintenance. Quit managing these important tasks in Outlook.

  1. Not only does preventive maintenance reduce to the risk of plane crashes and oil rig disasters, it helps your maintenance team operate more effectively and save time.
  2. You need to perform inspections on the first Monday of every month? No problem.
  3. You like to take equipment readings every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday? Tikkit has your back.
  4. You want to check inventory levels two weeks after whenever you last checked them? Tikkit can do that too.

Tikkit helps your team manage:

Easy PM scheduling

Set up calendar or daisy-chained templates to issue preventive maintenance alerts in a series (due dates & schematic files optional) and automatically label & cleanup created, but not completed, PMs in a backlog.

Templates remove the busywork

Checklists allow your technicians to focus on the important stuff–checking systems, recording readings, and diagnosing issues before they become failures.
