NEXGEN Asset Management: Powerful yet Straightforward

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We primarily use NEXGEN as a work order management system and to track timekeeping. We are using the NEXGEN 311 portal to request service internally between departments. NEXGEN allows us to keep the history of an asset through preventive and corrective work orders Reporting on this history helps us to make decisions on the life of that asset and the labor involved with its upkeep.

Pros

  • Preventive maintenance scheduling
  • Vertical asset hierarchies by class and location
  • Allows customization of asset attributes through User Defined Fields
  • Allows multiple editing of work orders, service requests, and inspections to populate commonly used fields quickly.
  • Offers timely and helpful support assistance.

Cons

  • Grid view for assets and allowing multiple editing
  • Save As on a Standard Report to create an Adhoc report that would allow you to customize it without having to recreate the whole report.
  • Have an inspection form fire with a PM

Return on Investment

  • NEXGEN allows us the ability to keep our preventive maintenance organized and on schedule, which is imperative for compliance.
  • The integration with other software programs has been a smooth process.
  • The ease in which you can roll up the cost to an asset is an important feature and NEXGEN does a nice job of it.

NEXGEN Asset Management at a glance.

NEXGEN Asset Management shows all maintenance completed including sewer line inspections and cleaning. This program helps us keep track of all my jobs.

Pros

  • Shows all sewer lines.

Cons

  • When a task is done it would be nice for Nexgen to correctly show it in the work order section
  • When using the measurement tool it should start in feet not meters.
  • Quicker loading time.

Return on Investment

  • Keeps us from redoing task.
  • Insures that lines are not cleaned that have been treated.

Our staff is in contact with up to 200 assets per day and NEXGEN Asset Management allows us to track costs, maintenance tasks, and history both in the field and the office.

Pros

  • GIS integration with NEXGEN Asset Management improves efficiency in the field
  • Work Order management allows close tracking of assets and resources
  • The Asset Management module provides insight into future expenditures and replacement options

Cons

  • Better beta testing before the roll out of updated software versions would help reduce bug reports and updates

NEXGEN is a good Asset Management tool with a personal touch.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

NEXGEN is used to track our assets and their associated details, enter work orders for tracking stage and status of the work order, create preventive maintenance requests at scheduled times, compile historical data of assets, and begin to use for reliability tracking of assets. The main issue we currently struggle with is the base program does not have a great way of tracking data for cause and failure analysis, which has required us to utilize "user-defined fields" to enter and track the data. To the credit of NEXGEN, user-defined fields and customization are allowed to assist customers who are using NEXGEN beyond its actual design, which hopefully cause and failure analysis will be a near-future consideration for them.

Pros

  • Provide comprehensive work order tracking.
  • Create schedule and create preventive maintenance schedules
  • Warehouse inventory great job for a asset management system

Cons

  • Checklists have the option of entering values instead of just a "pass"
  • Have Root Cause and Failure fields
  • Continue to improve Reporting, it is better but still clunky
  • Scheduling calendar is ineffective for our needs

Return on Investment

  • Decrease travel time by reviewing groups of work orders for scheduling multiple jobs at one location.
  • Improved work order completion rate by giving us an effective work status review tool.
  • Improved communication between all parties by having updated information in one location (on the work order).
