If you need to ensure equipment doesn't stay idle, tools like **Fracttal, UpKeep, SAP PM, and Jestor** are essential — the choice depends on whether you need heavy industrial software or an agile solution for field teams.

### **Downtime is loss**

In maintenance, SLA defines the maximum time a machine or infrastructure can be inoperative (Downtime). Monitoring the time between "Ticket Opening" and "Work Order Closing" is vital to ensure operational availability.

### **What maintenance is looking to solve (Pain Points)**

- **Machine down:** Production stopped because maintenance took too long to arrive.
- **Technician without route:** The pro doesn't know which ticket is priority.
- **Lack of parts:** SLA breached because the component wasn't in stock.
- **Paper records:** Work orders taking days to be typed in.

### **Why Jestor stands out in Maintenance**

This is where Jestor stands out by delivering all this in practice:

- **SLA by Criticality:** Vital equipment has 1h SLA; burnt bulbs, 48h.
- **Technician App:** The pro hits "Start" and "Stop" on mobile, counting real repair time (MTTR).
- **Automatic Pause:** If parts are missing, "Waiting for Parts" status freezes the SLA.
- **Inventory Integration:** Automatically deducts parts upon closing the WO.
