In today’s fast-paced maintenance world, quickly getting the insights you need to make decisions can be the difference between seamless productivity and costly downtime. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the launch of Limble’s new dashboard templates — the perfect blend of simplicity and power.
Built using insights from thousands of maintenance teams over the past decade, these ready-to-go dashboards include 50+ new reports to quickly evaluate asset performance, team productivity, operating costs, and more.
Get instant access to powerful data while maintaining full control to customize reports. Whether you’re looking for quick wins or tailored analytics, dashboard templates help you surface the metrics that matter most — without the heavy lifting.
Dashboards, reports, and the truth about customization in CMMS
When evaluating maintenance software, flexible, intuitive reporting is a top priority. But not all customization is created equal. To understand what sets true customization apart, let’s first break down the difference between dashboards and reports:
Dashboards: A collection of reports providing a high-level, centralized view of key metrics and trends.
Reports: The building blocks of dashboards, offering detailed data to uncover trends, analyze information, and drive strategic decisions.
Many CMMS platforms offer custom dashboards, but often this just means grouping static reports into a single, custom view. While useful for quick access, this doesn’t provide the depth of data that comes with true reporting customization. Custom reports, on the other hand, offer the ability to manipulate data in entirely new ways — surfacing new insights.
The reporting customization scale
Reports fall along a spectrum of customization. Understanding where your CMMS stands on this scale can help you choose the right solution for your needs:
Static reports
These out-of-the-box reports come pre-built, making them a great starting point for beginners. Static reports may include basic filters (e.g., date ranges or asset categories) to narrow the view, but the structure remains fixed, limiting flexibility when deeper insights are needed.
Configurable reports
These reports provide a structured foundation with the ability to tailor certain elements to better fit your needs. You can rearrange layouts, adjust columns, and switch between visualization types (e.g., pie charts vs. bar graphs) within a set framework.
Custom reports
This is the ultimate level of control. Choose the data you want to see and how to display it. With no predefined structure, you can surface insights tailored to your specific goals. Start from scratch with a blank slate or customize pre-built templates to fit your needs.
Many CMMS platforms stop at reports with filters or basic configurations. However, custom reporting is key once you move past the basics and are ready to explore new, deeper insights.
Dashboard templates: Where simplicity meets powerful reporting
Limble already combines the convenience of automated out-of-the-box dashboards with the versatility of build-from-scratch custom reports. New dashboard templates take our reporting to the next level by offering a middle ground: ready-to-use dashboards that are fully customizable.
Here’s why they’re a game-changer for maintenance teams:
- Faster insights: Start with pre-configured templates to get immediate visibility into key metrics.
- Complete customizability: Modify, duplicate, add, or delete any report for a custom dashboard that meets your specific goals.
- Ease of use: Intuitive templates make even advanced reporting more accessible than ever, for any experience level.
- Enhanced efficiency: Instantly surface data-driven insights to optimize resources, reduce downtime, and align with organizational goals.
