Reviewers state that a key function of the software is managing work orders. This includes having a structured process for planning, assigning, tracking, and completing maintenance activities, as well as tracking work order status and gathering all work by date of service.

Gathering all the works with the date of service in one place, I guess that's the most helpful solution for Project managers.
