CMMS is a mobile and cloud application that aims to simplify the management enterprise assets and equipment, maintenance schedules, inventory, work order routing and reporting. The solution helps employees to operate more efficiently and provides management with real-time visibility into the status of their assets and maintenance plans.
Everyone has assets, everyone has people, and everyone has to do some work on those assets with those people. Maintenance Connection strives to provide an efficient solution to help get the work done while making it simple to record that you did. Aggregate that data and make decisions for the future based on real information.
It's ideal for people who have a smaller budget but want a fully-fledged CMMS solution. Moreover, it's ideal for everyone who is looking for more than a CMMS solution, as the solution provides access to a platform that has other enterprise apps. It might not be ideal for those who want cutting-edge tech such as IoT sensors support, predictive maintenance, etc. Other than such organizations, it's best for everyone else.
Our organization was able to handle tasks and projects linked to maintenance operations with the help of CloudApper CMMS.
CloudApper CMMS helped us to reduce operation costs by combining the functions of asset management, maintenance, and inventory management in a single platform.
A CMMS built for easier collaboration, project management, and task tracking.
As I said, CloudApper CMMS has made our work so simple, it is difficult for us to use any other software. It is so easy to install that any one can be trained without any hassle. The data we receive based on CloudApper CMMS helps us to take certain decisions which are important for us.
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.
The CloudApper CMMS app is highly affordable. I have looked for few apps before I made my final decision to purchase this one. Plus their customer service is excellent. They have helped me unexpectedly during my journey to start with this apps which is very rare to find this days.
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.
