UpKeep vs eMaint CMMS: Which is a better fit?

Mike: Hi, my name is Mike. I'm an architect and a facilities manager for a non-profit organization. And I would give Upkeep a four out of five. We were a paper-based organization before, and we found particular challenges with that. There was no accountability, there was no transparency or at least very little transparency, and we needed a digital solution to make sure that everyone in the organization was on board with what was going on within our facilities. And so I made the decision to find a digital solution to this problem, and I stumbled upon Upkeep. And it's been a godsend for the entire organization. Transparency is at an all time high because we use it now. There are just so many fantastic features that really help our organization stay on top of all of the challenges of having to manage a facility. So the main reason we chose Upkeep was for the transparency in facilities management. When we were paper-based, we found that a lot of things were falling between the cracks and we couldn't get a lot of things done, vendors weren't getting paid as a result. A lot of the staff were not kept up to date as to what was going on with boilers and elevators, et cetera, et cetera. And so that was the main feature that really helped onboard us to the Upkeep program, because we just found so much value in this program and being able to be transparent with everyone within the organization and with our vendors and administration, et cetera, et cetera. So this was the main reason why we decided to go with Upkeep. The onboarding process and integration of Upkeep was a really seamless process, thanks to the folks that work at the company. They really help you walk through the entire process of getting everyone up to speed. They really help you with uploading your facilities and your properties, and just making sure that you understand how the software works to ensure that your workflow is as efficient as possible because of that. So that's a very amazing and seamless process. If you're looking to streamline your workflow, I think that Upkeep is the perfect solution for you. It provides transparency, it provides efficiency, and it's just a fantastic program overall. Also, if you are pro-environment and you're looking to cut down on paper usage, this is also a fantastic solution. You won't find that you'll be saving stacks of paper, you'll go fully digital and you'll just find that this really helps with your workflow and with the efficiency of your organization.

Nisarg: My first name is Nisarg. I am working at purchasing clerk for a construction company with a size between 100 and 250, and I would give a rating of four out of five for eMaint CMMS. So I joined the company about a year ago, and from ever since we have been using eMaint and from the colleagues I've learned that we have been using for around two years or more. So I'm not sure which software we were using before that, but it's been running pretty smooth and efficient for a construction company like us. eMaint is an exceptional maintenance management software that has truly transformed the way our organization works. So it enables us to track our inventory and equipment in real time. It also enables us to manage our maintenance workflows. Navigating through the eMaint software is pretty simple and it's intuitive. So no extensive training is required to get started and to pick up speed. The ease of use has been crucial in ensuring that our tasks get completed on time and it's well integrated with other softwares, which is like ERP. So honestly, I don't have the firsthand experience with the onboarding team that was part of bringing the software to the company. But from my colleagues' experience, I could say that the process was very smooth and the support team from eMaint has helped us a lot to get it started. And initial and recurring training sessions were quite extensive to assist new learners, new users like me, to learn it quickly and get expertise on it. So eMaint's assessment management capabilities are top notch. It allows us to maintain our comprehensive database of assets and enables to track the inventory. So whenever preventive maintenance is required on one of our vehicles, this feature in eMaint helps us a lot. It enables us to set up the schedules based on time, usage, condition and records. So sometimes it's easy to overlook the critical maintenance task, but with eMaint you cannot forget to schedule your maintenance task. So this proactive approach has helped us to reduce the equipment downtime and ensure that our vehicles, our equipment, are up and running all the time without any difficulties. Additionally, the reporting and analytics tools in eMaint are very powerful and up to date, so we can generate custom reports based on the data and enables us to analyze maintenance trends, costs, and performance metrics.
