CAFM Explorer vs UpKeep: 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.
