FMX vs CAFM Explorer: Which is a better fit?

Ben: Hi, my name is Ben. I work at Pacific Galvanizing in Oakland, California. We have anywhere between 35 and 45 employees. And I would give FMX a five out of five rating. So when I started here, we didn't have any sort of management software at all. We were literally on pen and paper, and that's what they had been doing here since the '80s. Everything was hand drawn. I had a lot of Post-it notes stuck to a whiteboard. We were very disorganized, and it was very hard to find information quickly. When FMX was first introduced to us, I was very impressed with the way that the software was built. It was very streamlined, it was very user-friendly, and more importantly, it was a good forum for organizing information and tracking equipment in an efficient and quick manner. So when we first started with FMX, I found that the software interface was really easy to use and we did get a lot of support from their team and some resources in learning how to use it. The difficult part was taking our roughly 600 pieces of equipment and digitizing that and bringing it into the electronic environment. But what we found with the software was that the work that we put in on the front side of it has paid us dividends in return on the backside of it. Anybody who's considering a facilities management software, I would highly recommend FMX. In talking with their software engineers, they work with a lot of different companies and they get a lot of feedback from users like myself, and they've made a lot of improvements through the four years that we've been with them. They've taken a lot of our suggestions and made the software even better. It's a very comprehensive suite, and they even offer custom tools that they can build for your company if you have something specific that they need. We're currently running two custom modules that they handbuilt just for us. It's a great overall package and it really helps keep us organized.
