    A4B CMMS

    N/AN/AA4B is a Computerized Maintenance Management System for small and mid-sized maintenance teams. It was built around two design decisions that separate it from the rest of the CMMS category: Flat-rate pricing instead of per-seat. Most CMMS platforms charge $45–75 per user per month, which makes the software more expensive exactly as a maintenance team grows, onboards part-time staff, or brings contractors into the tool.

    If I find a product with better support and some additional operational asset functions I would be willing to make a move.

    They are timely, responsive, and resolve issues within a day. I only give them one less point because in their recent acquisition by Accruent they lost the MC Support portal they used to have, and in its place they are using Accruents version. Which is well, just not as good.

    If you do not have a scheduler for the PM and work order program hire one first. They can help with the migration and know how everything works in your facility.

    It much more user-friendly and does not have a lot of wasted information that you would never use. I did a lot of research on other CMMS programs and questioned other users and was allowed to use the test module for 3 months. That pretty much sealed the deal for everyone except for those afraid of change. Eventually, they all fall in line and accept the new CMMS system.

    • Our parts cost overall has had a great positive impact on our ROI. We are able to track parts in a more efficient manner that helps us to optimize inventory and reduce stock outs, in addition to helping us identify items that have no turn over.
    • Equipment downtime with regards to Corrective vs Preventive type work orders has made a big impact to our ROI. With the use of the Preventive Maintenance Module in Maintenance Connection, we have made a good shift towards more planned machine maintenance and less corrective type failures.
