Old systems might have done the job, but a “one-size-fits-all” approach just doesn’t cut it anymore. With constant changes in regulations and the unique demands of modern retail, you need a purpose-built, flexible CMMS that’s adaptable to your specific needs. Realistically, a brand that operates 50 facilities is going to have different needs than a brand with 250 nationwide locations, and companies with warehouses face challenges that retail-only businesses don’t. Today’s retail industry is also more diverse than ever, ranging from luxury brands to budget-friendly stores – all of which are going to have their own unique demands. Hence, your CMMS should match your operations, no matter what kind of retail company you run. After all, your CMMS should adapt to your unique needs, and not the other way around.

The AIM Act brings new requirements, especially for facilities with large refrigeration or cooling systems. Apart from doing a comprehensive asset inventory, you're going to need to plan for operational changes as well. Here’s what to focus on to get that done: 1. Install automatic leak detection systems (ALDs). These systems need to be installed, calibrated, and maintained to catch leaks early. Work with your service providers to schedule installations if needed. 2. Create a regular inspection schedule. Larger systems may need monthly inspections, while smaller ones might only require annual checkups. Staying on schedule helps catch issues before they cause downtime. 3. Keep detailed records. The AIM Act requires thorough logs of refrigerant usage, leaks, and repairs. Training your team and using refrigerant management software can simplify reporting and keep you audit-ready. 4. Plan for any necessary upgrades. If your systems are missing critical components like ALDs, now’s the time to budget for those upgrades to meet the 2026 compliance deadline.

Managing asset depreciation isn’t just about spreadsheets—it’s about staying ahead operationally and financially. Here’s why it matters: 1. Operational Efficiency Knowing when assets will reach the end of their useful life helps you plan maintenance or replacements proactively. Avoid unplanned downtime and keep operations running smoothly. 2. Financial Compliance Accurate tracking ensures your facility stays in line with accounting standards and tax regulations. Mismanagement can result in costly penalties or lost savings. 3. Informed Decision-Making Depreciation data helps you prioritize capital expenditures, so you know which assets need attention now and which can wait. So, you may be wondering... what are some best practices for monitoring asset depreciation? 1. Update Asset Data Regularly: Ensure purchase dates, warranties, and maintenance histories are always current. 2. Track Depreciation Accurately: Use a platform that aligns asset tracking with financial goals using custom fields and automated monitoring. 3. Proactive Replacement Planning: Automate notifications for assets nearing the end of their lifecycle to avoid costly downtime. 4. Review Performance Reports Continuously: Detailed reports keep you on top of asset health and help with smarter repair vs. replace decisions. Accurate depreciation tracking isn’t just an accounting task—it’s a strategic advantage.

Overwhelmed team: Your facilities team is drowning in tasks, with backlogs piling up. Hiring more staff isn’t sustainable—automation is. 2.

Can't keep up with integrations: Struggling to connect with vendors or keep up with system updates? A flexible CMMS ensures smooth integrations and seamless operations. 4.
