CMMS and EAM software for energy and utilities
CMMS Software Built for Utility Operations
When a lift station, a feeder, or the only vac truck in the yard goes down, the cost isn’t the repair. It’s the crew rolling at 2 a.m., the customers calling, and the report you owe the state by Friday. OptiAM runs your treatment plants, your distribution system, and your truck fleet in one place, with preventive maintenance, work orders, spare parts, safety procedures, and audit-ready records built in.
Proven reliability methods, without the enterprise price tag. Runs on any device, online or off. Up and running in weeks, not months.

Reactive Maintenance is the Most Expensive Way to Run a Utility
Most utilities still fix equipment after it fails. That is the costliest way to work, because a single failure rarely stays contained to one asset. When a transformer, a treatment plant blower, or the only vac truck in the yard goes down, everything behind it stops too, and customers find out before the repair is finished.
One failure takes out service, not one asset
A failed transformer, treatment pump, or service truck takes everything behind it with it, so the cost shows up as customer outages, callouts, and crews standing around, not just the part.
Customers notice before you finish the repair
A transformer or a lift station does not fail quietly. It becomes callouts, a crew on overtime at 2am, and a service interruption you have to explain.
Paper records don't hold up in an audit
Handwritten PM sheets and clipboard checklists are easy to lose and slow to produce when a regulator or an OSHA inspector asks.
OptiAM® EAM Software
One System to Run Maintenance Across Every Plant, Substation, and Site
OptiAM is enterprise asset management (EAM) and CMMS software built on Reliability Centered Maintenance. It schedules maintenance by how your equipment actually gets used, tracks every asset and spare part across every plant, substation, station, and truck, and puts procedures and work orders on a phone that works with no signal. The methods come from aviation, where a missed failure is never an option. Utilities use it to move from firefighting to planned, optimized maintenance.
Safety Compliance
Lockout/Tagout and Safety Records That Hold Up
Lockout/tagout steps, arc flash and PPE requirements, and confined space checks live inside the work order instead of a binder at the yard. Revisions are controlled, so nobody works off an outdated sheet, and every completed job leaves a time-stamped record you can produce on demand. Crews follow the same steps in a substation, a vault, or a pump station miles from the nearest tower, because OptiAM GO works fully offline on Apple, Android, and Windows.
- Lockout/tagout, arc flash, and confined space steps built into the work order, with controlled revisions
- Multi-level sign-offs, so a job cannot close until the right person approves it
- Step-by-step instructions and video at the point of work, so every crew does it the same way
- Time-stamped completion records for any asset, searchable on demand
Audit Readiness
Maintenance Evidence Ready for Any Audit or Inspection
Regulators and inspectors ask the same three questions: is the equipment maintained, is there a defined schedule, and can you prove it. OptiAM answers all three from one system. Every finding a technician logs becomes a work order, tracked all the way to close-out, and every asset carries a complete maintenance history you can pull up in front of an auditor.
- Digital inspection and PM checklists with time stamps and sign-off
- Finding to work order to close-out, documented end to end
- Searchable maintenance history for any asset, on demand
- Standard operating procedures and emergency procedures with version control
Built for Every Asset You Own, From the Treatment Plant to the Truck Fleet
Manage the whole operation on one platform, with unlimited sites and assets. Water, power, gas, and fleet all sit in the same system, on the same hierarchy, with the same maintenance history behind them.
Water and Treatment Plants
Pumps, blowers, clarifiers, chemical feed and chlorination systems, lift stations, wells, tanks, and plant SCADA
Power, Gas, and Distribution
Substations, transformers, breakers, switchgear, reclosers, turbines, generators, regulator stations, mains, valves, and meters
Truck Fleet and Field Equipment
Bucket trucks, vac and jetter trucks, line trucks, service pickups, trailers, and portable generators, plus yards, control buildings, and calibrated test and safety gear
Capabilities
From Work Orders to Spare Parts, in One Place
Maintenance Optimizer
Usage-Based Preventive Maintenance. Schedule on real runtime, engine hours, mileage, and condition data instead of the calendar, so a plant pump and a bucket truck each get serviced when they need it. Wear rates change with load and duty cycle, and OptiAM schedules to match.
Work Order Manager
Work Orders Across Every Crew and Shift. Plan, assign, and sign off maintenance with parent and subordinate work orders that route across trades and crews, so a substation outage or a plant shutdown stays coordinated from one record.
Inventory Manager
Spare Parts Across Every Site. Track serialized and bulk stock, set reorder points per storeroom, and move surplus transformers, pumps, motors, or truck parts between sites instead of buying them twice.
Asset Manager
One Asset Record, Found Fast. QR code and RFID tags pull up serial number, warranty, vendor, and full service history in the field, and Hardware Builder breakdowns show exactly what goes where, so crews stop hunting for equipment records or ordering the wrong part.
Management Center
A Live View of Every Site. One dashboard shows what’s down, what’s due, and where the backlog is across every plant, substation, station, and truck, so you can move crews and parts to the right place first.
Task Developer
Procedures Your Crews Actually Follow. Build checklists, standard operating procedures, and emergency procedures with controlled revisions, then deliver them, along with every manual and spec sheet in Live Library, straight to the phone through OptiAM GO.
Trusted Where Uptime is the Business
“The OptiAM team has been extremely helpful in explaining the software and identifying features that are applicable to our situation. The software is flexible and the team is open to our feedback. They are constantly making improvements to the software.”
— Travis Martyn, LafargeHolcim
“In the past, we were only capable of updating maintenance plans annually, because the master document was kept locally and distributed as hard copies. Now, because of OptiAM, we can make changes to PM tasks within minutes, immediately accessible to all users around the country.”
— Moran Towing
Built on Reliability Centered Maintenance (SAE JA1011) and ISO 55000, from Andromeda Systems, an ISO 9001:2015 veteran-owned company that has supported some of the U.S. military’s most demanding fleets.

Your Buildings Count Too
Every utility has buildings behind the network: control buildings, offices, shops and warehouses, plus the HVAC, fire systems, elevators and standby generators inside them. OptiAM runs all of it on the same platform and the same hierarchy as your plants and distribution assets, so facilities work does not end up in a separate spreadsheet nobody looks at.

Common Questions
What is the best CMMS for a utility?
The right one is the one your crews will actually use in the field. For a utility that usually means preventive maintenance driven by real runtime instead of a calendar, work orders that route across crews and trades, spare parts tied to a storeroom, and procedures a tech can pull up at the asset with no signal. OptiAM does all of that in one system and adds Reliability Centered Maintenance analysis on top, so your PM program gets better over time instead of just recording what already broke.
Does OptiAM work offline at a remote site with no signal?
Yes. OptiAM GO is a progressive web app that works fully offline on Apple, Android, and Windows devices. Crews complete work orders, run checklists, capture photos, scan parts, and pull up asset history in a vault, a substation, or a pump station miles from the nearest tower. Everything syncs automatically when the device is back in range.
How does OptiAM support lockout/tagout and safety compliance?
Lockout/tagout steps, arc flash and PPE requirements, and confined space checks are built into the task package, so they travel with the work order to the technician’s device. Revisions are controlled, so nobody works off an outdated sheet, and work orders support multi-level sign-off so a job cannot close until the right person approves it. Every completed job leaves a time-stamped record you can produce for an OSHA inspection or an internal safety audit.
Will OptiAM help with regulatory audits and inspections?
Yes. Regulators and inspectors want to see that assets are maintained on a defined schedule, that the work actually happened, and that you can prove it. OptiAM holds the schedule, the completed work orders, the maintenance history for every asset, and the controlled procedures behind them. When an inspector asks for evidence on a specific transformer, pump, or generator, you pull it up instead of digging through binders.
What equipment can OptiAM manage?
Anything with a maintenance requirement. Treatment plant equipment like pumps, blowers, clarifiers, chemical feed systems, lift stations, wells, and tanks. Distribution assets like substations, transformers, breakers, switchgear, reclosers, regulator stations, mains, valves, and meters. Your truck fleet, including bucket trucks, vac and jetter trucks, line trucks, service pickups, trailers, and portable generators. Plus yards, control buildings, calibrated test equipment, and safety gear. It all sits in one hierarchy with serial numbers, warranty, vendor, and full service history.
Can OptiAM handle our truck fleet too?
Yes, and most utilities we talk to are running the fleet in a separate system or a spreadsheet. OptiAM schedules fleet PM on engine hours or mileage the same way it schedules a plant pump on runtime, tracks parts out of the same storeroom, and keeps every service record, inspection, and repair on the vehicle’s own asset record. Bucket trucks, vac and jetter trucks, line trucks, service pickups, trailers, and portable generators all sit in the same hierarchy as the rest of your assets. If the fleet is the bigger half of your maintenance load, there is a page for that too: fleet maintenance software.
How fast can we get OptiAM running?
Weeks, not months. You bring the asset list, we handle the build and walk your team through it. If your data lives in spreadsheets, binders, or another system, that is normal. Getting it into shape is part of getting started, not something you have to finish first.
Can OptiAM manage maintenance across multiple sites?
Yes. OptiAM handles unlimited sites and assets on one platform, with physical and functional hierarchies so every plant, substation, and station rolls up correctly. Inventory is tracked per storeroom with location-specific reorder points, and you can see combined stock at any level of the hierarchy, so you can move a surplus spare between sites instead of buying it twice.
Is OptiAM cloud-based or installed?
Either. OptiAM runs as SaaS or installed on your own infrastructure, so it works for utilities with strict IT or security requirements as well as for teams that would rather not run another server.
How is OptiAM different from a generic CMMS?
Most CMMS tools are work-order logs. They record what you did after you already decided to do it. OptiAM is built on Reliability Centered Maintenance and Supportability Analysis, so it looks at how your assets actually fail and tells you what to maintain, how often, and what it costs you to get it wrong. That is the difference between tracking maintenance and improving it.
