Accruent Maintenance Connection vs. FacilityBot

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.

Using FacilityBot helps them to digitize their FM workflows so that can manage their time more easily and effectively. It's all about working smarter, not harder! The asset management function of FacilityBot is also beneficial and useful. The tool also provides easy-to-read statistics reports for users.

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.

FacilityBot replaced multiple layers of coordination and communication between users and subcontractors. There are many facilities management systems that are not user-friendly on the market. Most of them do not support multiple communication methods and are costly. Unlike FacilityBot, the implementation wasn't as straightforward. In terms of features, not many are as feature-rich as FacilityBot.

• 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.

• Quick and prompt fault reporting and tracking
• Save cost and resources
• FacilityBot also provides simple and evaluated statistics
