So our next assignment was to log in to Vektr, and give an analysis of the program.
It definitely seemed limited. Maybe I need some more formal training on the program, but it didn't seem incredibly comprehensive in my opinion. I couldn't discern whether it will store equipment specific information, so that you can track how many and what type of work orders that specific piece of equipment has generated. This sort of information can prove critical in managing your assets, and diagnosing their conditions.
I also thought that the prioritization of work orders was too general. There are only 3 categories of priorities you can assign a work order: low, medium, or high. If you are managing a large facility and do a high volume of work orders, you will want more than three categories to distinguish the severity of each work order.
It also doesn't seem like you would have a "completed on" field on the "add new work order" page. However, if you perform work on the spot, and want to document that work after the fact, then that field is merited.
Overall I wasn't incredibly impressed by Vektr. It seemed very basic, and didn't have the comprehensive coverage that I would want out of such a program. It seemed like a cheap web-based application to document and distribute work orders, without any real organization to the data being captured.
