Equipment records tend to live in binders, spreadsheets, technician notes, and email threads. When a surveyor asks — or a device disappears between locations, or a battery expires quietly — the answer is usually 'let me check.'
For multi-site organizations, this only gets harder. Consistent records across every site, standardized PM intervals, and centralized visibility for administrators are hard to build after the fact.
PBES built TESSA because service and records belong on the same platform. When a technician documents a visit, the asset record updates. When PM comes due, administrators can see it. When repairs happen, follow-ups don't drop.
