Fiix CMMS: An Easier Way to Manage Maintenance

  • Feb 7, 2022, 15:59 PM

Many companies are investing in maintenance digital transformation for modern operations with a cloud-based, AI-powered computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). In a remote, hybrid and distributed world, cloud-based applications give maintenance teams access to essential information and workflows that improve productivity and uptime.

Companies are under increasing pressure to implement standardized processes, best practices and continuous improvement programs. The CMMS software solution is the answer for organizations across many industries including manufacturing, oil and gas, utilities, wholesale, distribution, transportation, logistics, commercial office, healthcare and public sector.

Fiix CMMS is built for enterprise maintenance teams and gives companies the power to evolve the way they work including organizing assets, achieving performance of critical equipment and keeping maintenance teams focused on the right tasks. Thousands of companies are making a data-driven decision to increase maintenance efficiency and deliver better business outcomes with Fiix CMMS. It’s one of the most open CMMS platforms able to connect with thousands of endpoints and capable of integrating across business systems and teams seamlessly.


Business Value Highlights

  • 44% more productive facilities and maintenance teams

  • 78% reduced time to fill out work orders

  • 27% reduction in mean time between failure

  • 10% reduced production costs

  • 22% more efficient inspection teams


In the IDC Solution Brief, companies reported that Fiix's analytics and asset visibility made it easier to manage their assets and manufacturing operations. Customers discovered key benefits that include:

  • Better visibility for teams that manage and maintain their organization's physical assets
  • Ease of use means ease of management
  • Increased efficiencies with standardization for their operations
  • Platform scalability to conform with the organization's growth
The CMMS asset management tool allows companies to view, analyze, and act on all equipment information in one place. Using Fiix CMMS, companies can achieve operational success with better visibility of assets, standard processes and transparency across different locations. Companies can organize users, equipment, inventory, purchases and tasks by shift, area, or site. They can create asset hierarchies with drag-and-drop capabilities and group similar assets so that maintenance teams can only schedule, assign, and track tasks once.

Fiix CMMS also offers mobile applications for technicians, IT and operational technology (OT) integrations and applied AI for improved maintenance outcomes. 

Reducing downtime is a key benefit. Downtime occurs when an asset suffers a failure or breakdown that doesn't allow it to operate and must be repaired or inspected. Equipment failure isn't always avoidable. However, if repairs and preventative maintenance (PM) are inefficient, it prolongs downtime. These inefficiencies can add up and cost a facility a significant amount of time and money in lost production. 

With Fiix CMMS, it's easier to repair and inspect assets so downtime is reduced to a minimum. Technicians can log into the mobile app from any location. Next, they can see an asset's history, diagrams, location of spare parts and more, so work can be performed faster. The CMMS software can also help organizations find work orders that take too long, spot the cause of the delay and repair it quickly. 

Another essential feature is eliminating outdated work request methods like via phone, sticky notes, whiteboard, or word-of-mouth. These antiquated processes force maintenance teams to spend unnecessary time creating work orders and inputting data. The CMMS eliminates many extra steps by automating the work request process. Employees can log work requests, design PM triggers, or connect to sensors that create work orders based on the real-time condition of an asset. No time is wasted translating work orders, tracking down operators or rifling through a file cabinet.

Reduced Downtime by 54% with the Fiix CMMS 

As the maintenance manager at Perth County Ingredients, Tom Dufton knew that the business was losing time and money every time a machine went down, which was often. He was determined to find a way to plan and schedule maintenance instead of reacting to emergencies. Tom found the answer in the Fiix CMMS. 

Three years after implementing the Fiix CMMS, Tom and his team had automated preventative work, reduced reactive maintenance by 54% and cut after-hours work requests by 42%. 

"The automation within our facility has basically allowed us to run multiple operations from one location," says Tom about the benefits of a CMMS. "Our fingers are always on the pulse of the facility."
