FSM vs ERP vs QMS vs LIMS for inspection companies

FSM (field service management) software schedules and dispatches field work; ERP (enterprise resource planning) runs finance and resources across the business; QMS software manages quality documents and non-conformances; LIMS (laboratory information management system) tracks samples, tests and results in a laboratory.

Also known as: field service management, enterprise resource planning, quality management system software, laboratory information management system.

The overlap

An inspection company touches all four: dispatching technicians (FSM), invoicing and payroll (ERP), certificates, procedures and NCRs (QMS), and sometimes laboratory testing (LIMS). Buying four systems means four logins and re-typing; buying one giant suite means paying for modules nobody uses.
