### "FMX is your 1st step to a streamlined Events Scheduling Program, Maintenance & PM"

April 27, 2023

4.0

Very positive. \[sensitive content hidden\] our main connection is always on point and responds to all of our needs.

Pros

Schedule Request and Maintenance Request can be customized to cover allot of information gathering. This save allot of wasted time on phone calls, emailed etc. We try to make the schedule request a one stop shop for our Faculty and Staff to request an event and capture all the details so we can then move to a BEO

Cons

I feel that we are missing a few key elements that are essential to our operation, perhaps we are unique. We often have events that are not on campus but that our FMX calendar needs to include because those off site events take away assets that we need to be aware of. Some sort of Generic Flag should be available to note those events. We have improvised and created a work around of our own.

### "Best CMMS product in the business"

September 25, 2023

5.0

Fantastic. We went from a competitor's product to FMX with complete transition taking less than a month and complete user familiarity in weeks!

Pros

This is so intuitive, simple and quick to set up (even in complex situations), is comprehensive in scope allowing us to manage our crazy schedule over hundreds of spaces, tech and maintenance requests, PMs, equipment and asset management, etc.

Cons

This was by far the most seamless transition into a new software I have ever seen. The only things that I wish were added are in development, and they are not game-changers.

Reason for choosing FMX

FMX was superior in every single category, hands down.

October 27, 2023

5.0

Great, \[sensitive content hidden\] has been a great source of knowledge. She is always available when we need her.

Pros

Very customizable, lots of options to customize forms & settings. FMX works with us to make sure the software meets our needs

Cons

Reporting dashboard isn't easily customizable, it's slow and often crashes. Wish we had better visibility on our KPIs.

For all of the reasons listed above.

### "It has been excellent, any issues that I find are resolved in a timely manner "

March 22, 2018

5.0

I am able to efficiently and easily keep track of work orders and planned maintenance and track costs associated with both.

Pros

I am able to efficiently and easily keep track of work orders, planned maintenance items and other requests. I can track costs, both for parts and for man-hours for specific types of maintenance and run reports to see what we are spending the most time and money on. We can use the reports to streamline our processes and predict what equipment may be failing sooner than later. The other thing that is done well is the customer service. There are constant improvements based on customer feedback and whenever I come up with a one off suggestion, FMX has always been helpful in coming up with solutions that allow me to implement what I want and most of the time allow me to make additions myself without having to rely on them to change the format of the system. It is very user friendly.

Cons

Some of the filtering options don't allow me to limit very specific things on the calendar setting. This may only be an issue in our place because of how we are set up, but I can't filter maintenance requests and planned maintenance items per user at the same time. I have to do one or the other. This is a basic issue that we can work around.

Pros

FMX is a huge asset in managing all of our maintenance and scheduling needs.

Cons

### "FMX has greatly streamlined our facility operations ."

March 29, 2018

4.0

One centralized platform that can be used for the facility and transportation operation of the district.

Pros

The fact that it is a one-stop platform for all of the stakeholders in our organization to use. It replaced about 4 other pieces of software and pulled our whole facility management tools together in one program.

Cons

There isn't a lot that I don't like. Maybe that at one point there were a few changes made that weren't communicated as well as they should have been but the good customer support team helped me to figure those changes out quickly.

### "Great program. Easy to use."

March 18, 2019

5.0

Implementing FMX was very easy. FMX staff were quick to answer any questions that came up during the process. It's been a powerful tool that has helped us to be more effective and efficient in our work.

Pros

We were able to replace two pieces of expensive software, scheduling and maintenance programs, with one service that was as much as one of the programs alone. And not only was it cheaper, FMX is very user friendly. Some of our less tech-savvy users were able to pick it up quickly, so we didn't experience much if any lag time after a short training session. In addition, the change over to FMX was super easy with the import function, and any changes to make the data fit our campus were easy to do in house with the tools in FMX. Also, the reporting features and the ability to export past data to a spreadsheet let us examine our use over the past year and analyse how we can operate better next year.

Cons

Having the ability to tie into Building Automation Systems (namely HVAC and door control systems) would be very helpful. FMX may be able to do that, but it's not part of the basic program. You'll need a custom module.

Hi Daniel! Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are so happy to hear that you're such a fan of FMX! In your review, you mentioned that you'd like to see FMX offer a building automation system for your HVAC and door control systems. This is definitely something that we can do, and we'd love to chat with you more about it! Your customer success manager will be reaching out to you shortly to discuss this option further. Thanks again for taking the time to write such a great review!

Communication with end user.

Pros

Areas of identification.There are it seems endless ways to identify the problem and location to explain what is wrong or needed.

Cons

What's not to like.I have used many facilities maintenance programs and have not found one that is as easy to integrate or train staff on

Reason for choosing FMX

The presentation was one factor and the follow up from FMX staff.

September 26, 2022

5.0

I have been very happy since my transition team started the process. Switching over had me very concerned but it went so smoothly I was surprised! We did some building moves this fall and had a large volume of requests in a short amount of time. We were able to sort and prioritize without and difficulty

Pros

The software is very user friendly and easy to work with. The task bar makes it very easy to find what am I looking for in just a few clicks.

Cons

I am only a few months into using FMX and just everything is a step above my previous software. Any small issues that I have come across have been easily handled through customer service

February 29, 2024

5.0

Tech Support and the system team I worked with were very good. I have been happy with the system over the last year that we have had it.

Pros

It was easy to set up the building and rooms for the work order request system. The teachers can check on the status of their work orders without having to call or email me. Very minimal instruction was needed for my staff to put in work orders.

Cons

It can send a lot of email reminders to you until you get the notification set up right, but better than no notifications.

Very good experience. Can't say anything but good.

Pros

Very easy to use and customizable. Mobile inventory bar codes tracking is a game changer. Very easy to learn the program overall. Layout is nice and up to date. Continued updates and new features.

Cons

### "Perfect for K-12 Public Schools"

December 11, 2019

5.0

Pros

K-12 Public School Departmental Supervisors typically have multiple, disparate systems for Technology, Maintenance, Grounds, Transportation, Facilities Reservations, and inventory. FMX brings all of this together in one easy-to-use portal.

Cons

There doesn't really appear to be any cons, especially considering the experience I've had setting up and configuring other helpdesk portals.

Reason for choosing FMX

FMX fit our needs perfectly without the need to use other systems to accommodate our various departments. Technology, Transportation, Maintenance, Grounds, Facilities, and Athletics can make great use of this product. Our end users appreciate having only one login portal for all of these systems, and they only have to learn one application to get the assistance they need.

The "Sign In With Google" option was huge, and also the ability to accomodate the multiple departments within a K12 school district with tailored functionality for each department was critical.

### "Set it so you don't forget it!"

December 5, 2019

5.0

FMX has helped us to organize different types of requests, inventory, and maintenance. The staff is always helpful, quick to respond, and they offer customizable support. I have often been offered more than one way to work through an issue and that shows me that my customer support is really looking out for our growth, not just getting a task done.

Pros

I appreciate the way I use this system to manage so many different facets of daily work. These are a few of my favorite things: 1. I don't lose information, the ticketing process is helpful, clear and easy to use. 2. I can drill in super specific on details and usage or I can keep a wide focus, therefore meeting the needs of many different projects and management styles. 3. There is room to grow, it doesn't just meet the needs of where you are today, it is also ready for the future growth. 4. The staff - I know that isn't software, but the fun training videos they post and they way they engage the user is important to how much I enjoy using the software as a complete experience.

Cons

That I can't use it at home to manage my family.

Reason for choosing FMX

I wasn't part of that process

5.0

My overall experience is great. Any time someone needs to talk about the system, I'm happy to go over my experience. Would like to see a page for individual work orders, although the filter system is excellent and can achieve this.

Pros

The entire system is very intuitive. The flexibility in setting up your own criteria is great. Customer support has been outstanding.

Cons

Email overload. With all the email and notifications, it can be difficult for the crew to manage some of the requests.

Reason for choosing FMX

### "Game Changer "

August 14, 2019

5.0

FMX has changed how we do maintenance. As we began our maintenance team for the franchise our maintenance tasks were verbal with no records of work completed or cost or man-hours. Now we are able to track all of the above and more. We are now able to track inventory, use reports to gather analytical metrics to aid in decision making processes, and track man hours identifying workload and balance of assignments.

Pros

The pros of this software is that it is easy to use. It can be customized to use primarily drop down choices that help to ensure that entries are clear and easily understood. Customer support is fast and thorough. The reports convey viable information to use in making business decisions such as workload, lifecycle maintenance, cost per repair, and identification of top 10 problem pieces of equipment. The list of pros is very extensive.

Cons

If I had to identify a con it would be the import feature. On rare occasions it will freeze during an upload and I would cancel and restart the upload, once the new upload completed it would not allow the work order to be closed due to pending upload. You would then have to close the window and start over.
