Vektr is a CMMS that we where asked to try out and blog about in my Facilities Management Technologies class. Vektr, like many other programs that i have experienced, has all the possibilities of being a great tool, but lacks the user interface to make it desierable enough to really catch on. If it was the only program I had, and I had to make it work, it would definitely do everything that I wanted it to. It would just take a lot of time to figure out and find how to do things.
Things could be more inuitively laid out, and more options could be given. The main thing that I didn't like was that in order to create custom things, such as inspections, you cannot just go to the inspections tab and create a new inspection sheet there. You have to go to the admin tab and then look up inspections under 1 of the about 10 tabs found along the top.
As a Facilities Manager you want to be able to spend your time managing your facility. You don't want to be figuring out and spending most of your time just setting up stuff because there are so many steps to go through in your CMMS that it takes forever.
Good product as far as having many different options on what you can use it for, I would like to the the user interface become more intuitive before I bought into it.

I agree. Modern facility managers now need to be concerned about the quality of the desk, tables, and cabinets used in their office buildings. Fortunately the office furniture industry now uses GreenGuard certified products to improve indoor air quality and reduce chemical exposure.
