Tracking service issues - There's really no more excuses for not knowing when the machine was last serviced. Upkeep allows us to track that.
Scheduling - Knowing in advance which machines will need maintenance in the future allows us to actively prepare for shut-down periods.
General knowledge - Users can add their knowledge to the archives of each machine we have, helping to improve the trouble-shooting process.
Easy to update, easy to make - It's almost too easy to create and update files for locations, assets, parts, and issues.

Periodic maintenance needs are still a little tricky keeping in the system without flooding the user with too many work orders.
It does not immediately update all the time. For example, closing out work orders and the number of total work orders stays the same until it’s rebooted.
Search functions need improving.

Based on 7 answers

I think the platform is user-friendly but there have been some issues that colleagues have been complaining about. For example, the program tends to run slow from time to time. Reporting could be better. We could use more fields for categories under parts and assets.

Based on 4 answers

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.

Alternatives Considered

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.

It may be a larger challenge for the internal office workers to utilize upkeep. Often times when you're hiring property managers, maintainers, they may not be orientated towards technology. We can learn how to utilize something new if it presents a larger challenge. We want our staff on the ground, at the site to spend less time wasted on sorting out software and more time taking care of our properties.

Return on Investment

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.

The most noticeable improvement has been to track tooling inventory and expenses. We used to just have bins full of parts, with no real way to track which parts we actually used/needed. I can now make a pretty good guess as to which tooling I should stock, saving a small fortune in unused inventory.
Tracking how much breakage/downtime each machine has will greatly help us determine where to spend on upgraded/new equipment. They used to buy new machines because it would be neat to have, now I can quantify how much in repairs and downtime we spend on each machine to help determine upgrade priorities.
