Accruent Maintenance Connection vs. MicroMain

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.

Overall, MicroMain has lots of features and flexible to use as an integration solution in the company. There are some area need improvement. MicroMain support has fast response time and is always helpful when we have issues. The workaround will be suggested for any problems we have. Their development team always find improvement and listen to their client voices to make their CMMS a better solution.

• The spec sheet is difficult to set and attach to PMWO.
• Inspection cannot be grouped and is difficult to categorize and assign to each PMWO based on the asset type.
• Part inventory is subtracted only when WO is closed. It should be subtracted as soon as it's reserved by WO or PMWO. This cause the inaccuracy of the number of parts available in stock.

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

Its very user friendly and works well in a manufacturing setting.

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.

MicroMain has more features and more flexible to use. Multiple locations are allowed. Parts inventory can be set up easily. Asset hierarchy can be easy to manage. Software can be centralized and standardized across departments within the company. We currently use it for multiple product lines across departments and facility maintenance. Overall, it's easy to implement and streamline throughout the company.

• 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.

• MicroMain helps move from paper-based to paperless system.
• MicroMain helps reduce 1000+ hours per year for technician on administration work and the technician can focus on their real work in production.
• Their paperless system saves 2000+ paper sheets per year used to print PMWO, WO and Spec sheet.
• Parts inventory is closed to real-time which helps PO processing to be more effective.
