MaintainX helps users track reactive maintenance, preventive maintenance, and control the daily operations of businesses such as safety inspections, quality inspections, and operating checklists with a digital audit trail.
It’s best suited for Large multi-building configurations (campus) with self-service funtions. There are better options for single buildings. This tool really shines when you are managing multiple buildings that are accessed by the same users.
Creating work orders and procedures is a great way to insure our assets are being inspected as they are needed. Our organization sets up inspections by locations and the number of assets they have. Tying the inspection report and invoice to each asset. However, It was a bit challenging to create work orders/procedures for all assets rather than by location. The original process we set up in the implementation process just didn't work. but with the help of Sergio we were able to come up with a solution that works. It's a bit cumbersome but nevertheless it works.
User perspective it is simple through a web portal that shows all spaces and buildings. But as an administrator it was quite a bit of work to set up. And by extension updating is also a lot of work
From the initial trial period to now using the system in full, the system was easy to navigate from the very start. The teaching videos within the system are excellent and really help with how to use the system effectively
Archibus compares well with other IWMS software when it comes to integrating with BIM models and reporting capabilities. I selected Archibus as it has all the tools and processes needed to manage space and moves, with the intention to expand to other modules like Lease Administration and Asset Management. The constant upgrades to Archibus also helps to keep the software up-to-date with other third party products such as Revit.
MaintainX is easier to use, more flexible, and allows us to manage multiple work orders at once, and the mobile app makes it easier for our workers to see and manage their work orders for their shifts. goFMX was more dated, did not offer a mobile app, and much harder to manage the work orders
It has helped not only my team, but the management of our company to see what we do and how we are doing maintenance.
Our inventory is a lot to work on, but MaintainX has changed the way we used to inventory and makes it easier for the team to check out or put away parts.
Having QR codes around our building for requesters and maintenance to scan has helped out when trying to decipher where the problem is.
