Process Engineer and Maintenance Planner Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use MEX daily and it is great to track all maintenance activities. " November 1, 2017 5.0 Our Preventative Maintenance schedules in MEX have resulted in regular accurate servicing of our equipment which has led to a reduction in our downtime. Pros MEX is an excellent tool displaying maintenance programs and PMs work completed to our external auditors. Cons PM categories ie fixed, triggered hierarchy etc. I would rather one only to select as it is confusing. Review Source Response from TMA Systems November 3, 2017 Hi Alec, Thanks so much for taking the time to review MEX. We are stoked to hear that using MEX has led to a reduction in your downtime! If you have any issues with the PM Schedules you can always check out tech tips on our blog or contact our friendly support team on +61 7 3992 4777. Kind Regards, The MEX Team RA Ross A. Maintenace Manager Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "MEX overview" April 8, 2024 4.0 Good to date, no major issues. Always room to improve with modifications and enhancements as the software evolves to meet industry needs. Pros Easy to use, quite intuitive, has most of the functions we need. Cloud based. Cons Planning and Scheduling functionality could be enhanced, cannot customize the reports, when asked if we could the answer was no as the std reports have to be the same for everyone. As mentioned auto generation of PM's can be looked at would save peoples time and effort going through activator once the PMs have been sanctioned. Switched from [IBM Maximo Application Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/240578/IBM-Maximo/) The business got smaller so didn't need such a powerful tool as Maximo. Review Source Response from TMA Systems April 18, 2024 Thanks for sharing your experience! We're pleased that MEX meets your needs. Your feedback on areas for enhancement is valuable and we have passed it on to the relevant team. AC Angie C. Maintenance Planner Food Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Support help" April 8, 2024 3.0 Good to record things in the one place such as Assets, parts etc. Have struggled with all the differences in Preventative Maintenance and getting the outcome I want. Have sought help from support and been told our version is too old and support will update it within 2 weeks. # weeks has passed and we have not heard from anyone and my preventative maintenance is not issuing new worksheets or work orders Pros The idea of having everything under the one umbrella, apart from finance of course. Cons Can be confusing to relate to your particular industry and requirements. Manuals dont cover everything. Cant copy and paste Review Source SF Steve F. Assets and Maintenance Support Officer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "MEX is a step in the right direction" April 8, 2024 4.0 It's early days for our organisation and staff discipline has been an issue. i.e. Having trouble getting consistent quality data entry. Pros Pleasant User Interface, able to set-up and implement with some ERP experience and minimal IT skills, Mobile application (can use on Phone/Tablet as well as Desktop). Possibility of catching costs (labour/materials/contractors) and can hopefully implement Stores/Purchasing module in the future. Cons Reports don't have "Sort" function in filters (to re-arrange output), could be better if it had options for prompts and/or pop-up msg as well as colour-coding for different status etc. Switched from [Pulse](https://www.capterra.com/p/125408/Pulse/) As I understand it, MEX was recommended by MDFM in order to comply with regulatory (reporting) requirements of the Retirement Villages Act. NB: While I personally prefer MEX, I note that similar data could've been available in the previous system and we just weren't using it to its potential. Review Source Response from TMA Systems April 18, 2024 Thanks for your review! We're glad to hear MEX is a step in the right direction for your needs. If you need any assistance or further guidance, feel free to reach out to our support team at support@mex.com.au or call 07 3392 4777 DV Darryl V. Science Technician Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "New user of MEX in a regional school" November 3, 2023 5.0 Outstanding in all respects so far (not all modules have been used yet, but more will be used early 2024). It did take some time to set up the "shell" but was well worthwhile. Data imports were easily done. Congratulations to the entire MEX team. Pros There are numerous positive aspects to MEX - security, flexibility, automation and cross liking of data and reporting functionality. A very significant aspect is the excellent help files and support offered by everyone at MEX. I have been looking for something like this for a very long time and am more than happy with everything and everyone. As mentioned, great help files and you tube videos. Cons No bad experiences yet, any new system will have a very steep learning curve. It took some time to get my head around the set up, but previous understanding of maintenance requirements / tracking functionality was a bonus. I think new users need to understand their operations / requirements very well and allow enough time to get the system to a useable place. That is not a negative aspect at all, but it is a cost to be aware of. Reason for choosing MEX Maintenance Numerous products were considered, but MEX seemed to fulfill our requirements the best. Switched from [FleetMEX](https://www.capterra.com/p/56750/FleetMEX/) Could not be cloud based, very cumbersome and did not have any of the features I required. The existing program was not really suitable for use in other departments. My first attempt at managing this was to build an access data base, but got to the limit of my expertise and after many years have settled on MEX. Review Source Response from TMA Systems November 9, 2023 Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us Darryl, we're so glad to hear you found MEX after a long search and that it meets all your requirements and more. Thank you again for taking the time to review MEX. PM Paul M. Senior Functional Business Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "MEX at Golden Bay Cement" October 16, 2019 3.0 MEX are quick to offer solutions, but do not always listen to the Customer. Time will resolve that as the relationship between the new Maintenance Manager and MEX evolves. Integration has proven difficult and there are still issues to be dealt with. GBC is actively working on a plan to address issues and tighten up the integration performance. There is great scope for improvement at GBC, and there is a plan to address that. There is a lack of both ownership and understanding below the Maintenance Manager, a legacy of the previous Maintenance Manager. Again, GBC is working to address that. Pros The software is simple in nature. This makes learning the product easy, and training is accomplished with minimum fuss. The application is solid, the releases (Builds) are reliable. Support is top notch, and very responsive. Cons GBC did not make a great job of establishing their deliverables for the software. As a result, the product has been slow to deliver a lot of the benefits which are clearly there for the taking. A change of Maintenance Manager so soon after go-Live did not help GBC in achieving its goals either, but that is being addressed by the new Maintenance Manager. Alternatives considered [Mainpac EAM](https://www.capterra.com/p/9427/Mainpac-EAM/)[IBM Maximo Application Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/240578/IBM-Maximo/) Reason for choosing MEX Maintenance The Maintenance Manager preferred the simplicity of MEX over the other products. Switched from [Mainpac EAM](https://www.capterra.com/p/9427/Mainpac-EAM/) Maintenance Manger at the time believed the product was not delivering what the Business needed. Review Source Response from TMA Systems October 20, 2019 Hi Paul, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review of MEX, it is wonderful to hear about your experience with the system. Making a simple yet effective system is one of our main priorities so we are really glad to hear we have achieved this goal with you. We would like to hear more on your issues with the integration, so someone will be in touch shortly. Thanks again for the feedback! DB Daniel B. Operational Excellence Systems Specialist Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "MEX Review" March 31, 2021 4.0 Overall we have found MEX easy to use and customisable to meet our needs. Pros MEX is great for customisation - we can do most of the customisation ourselves, and for more complicated changes, the MEX team are helpful and responsive. This means we can adjust the system to meet our processes, not the other way around. Cons MEX can be a bit hard to use on mobile devices. Some features are not usable, and the layouts can be hard to see. Reason for choosing MEX Maintenance Ease of use and customisation. Switched from [IBM Maximo Application Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/240578/IBM-Maximo/) We made the switch to MEX to solve speed issues seen in Maximo, improve customisation and security, and reduce the cost of our CMMS. Review Source Response from TMA Systems April 7, 2021 Hi Daniel, Thank you for your great review - we really appreciate it! We are super pleased to hear that you find the customisation features beneficial and that MEX is so easy to use. Also thank you for your constructive feedback on the Mobile App, we always like to hear suggestions from our customers to help improve our products. BN Bill N. Reliability Planner Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Preparing Maintenance Plans" April 8, 2024 3.0 As I did not have any training am happy with the basics but more training is needed to be honest. Pros Setting up is all good - but needs more training for all our users like on one or group. Cons Scheduling weekly and monthly Maintenance Work Orders is not consistent especially weekly; sometimes only two weeks for any month is generated. I prefer to have monthly pop-up menu where I schedule weekly and monthly and export those to Excel as per Asset Numbers. The current schedule is not very friendly nor consistent or reliable even the frequency set up have been confirmed. More work on this aspect Review Source TF Tim F. Maintenance Manager Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the Greatest Maintenance Tools introduced to our Business." October 13, 2025 4.0 Easily rolled out across the different business entities with very minimal training required for maintenance personnel or requester stakeholders. Pros Streamlines Maintenance Task management, Provides a single source of maintenance asset data and a useful tool to analyze maintenance trends and implement proactive maintenance strategies. Cons Relies too much on unlocking all modules for optimum utilization, specifically with regards to resource planning and inventory procuring. Review Source JM Jon M. Engineering and Maintenance Department Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "MEX User Satisfaction Review" October 2, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with MEX has been great. Very easy to create and control users access to the system through the control files interface. Very intuitive and easy to use stores module that helps us with the spare parts stock control. And very good reports creation tool. Pros The interface to manage the incidents from maintenance request to work order management and final reports is very user friendly. Cons The creation of the new forms interface is a bit complicated. when you want to add specific fields on the forms is not easy to do it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Research Scientist Building Materials Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Well organized no nonsense tool" June 4, 2025 5.0 Very good, I think it is a perfect no nonsense tool for scheduling maintenance, capturing information on assets, and generating reports. Pros It is very structured, enabling you to set up your assets in as much or as little detail as you want. Whilst a bit time consuming to set asset details and work flows up initially, once everything was inputted, the system is easy to use for all levels. Cons It needs a high level of coordination with a dedicated IT department to set up, in my opinion, before you can even get started on uploading information on assets. Review Source CH Craig H. Maintenance Planner Food Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "MEX User Review" April 30, 2020 5.0 Great system, easy to use and very user friendly In my previous role I used Mainpac and the difference between the 2 systems is chalk & cheese, MEX is the better system by far in my eyes Pros I used MEX some years ago when it was first being introduced and found it to be really easy to use back then. I am now using the product on a daily basis to manage multiple sites for all of their Maintenance needs from Preventative Maintenance to Purchasing the system has a lot to offer. The reports available in MEX allow Cons I dont really have any problems or dislikes with the system, anything I'm unsure about only requires a quick phone call to MEX to assist in helping me sort this out Reason for choosing MEX Maintenance Unsure as to what other Maintenance systems were looked at as MEX was implemented before I started with the business Switched from [Mainpac EAM](https://www.capterra.com/p/9427/Mainpac-EAM/) Business decision Review Source Response from TMA Systems September 28, 2020 Hi Craig, Thanks so much for your positive review! Your support is greatly appreciated and we are so happy to hear that you find the system so easy to use. Thanks again for your high review of MEX, we really appreciate it! RT Robert T. Project Manager Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Customer service like no other." November 8, 2020 5.0 It has been extremely refreshing to deal with a company who has proactive employees across all areas of the company that I have dealt with. Sales, Training, service, and support. Pros I deal with suppliers from various industries every day. MEX is one of the most proactive companies for service and support I have ever dealt with. The software has also been designed to be simple to use which has been immensely helpful for while rolling it out and training our team. Cons So far we don't have any cons. We will probably ask for extra features along the way as we get used to the software. However if MEX are as responsive to this as they have been with support and training then I'm sure it will work out well for us. Reason for choosing MEX Maintenance After using the demo and looking at the training material it was obvious very quickly that MEX is one of very few companies that produce software designed and built with heavy input from the end users. Review Source Response from TMA Systems November 10, 2020 Hi Robert, Thank you so much for your amazing review of the MEX System! It is really great to hear how much of a positive experience you've had. We always enjoy working with you and look forward to helping you in the future. Thanks again! JJ Joshua J. Maintenance Services Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Structured Maintenance Made Easy" January 31, 2017 5.0 From our initial dealings with the MEX team they were extremely helpful. They did not hesitate to come to our office and give us a professional and highly informative demonstration. MEX has allowed us to effectively manage our clients asset registers and assign structured preventative maintenance schedules to these assets. We are able to record all history and report on the complete lifecycle of an asset. Although MEX has virtually infinite combinations in relation to how you wish to set up your asset register MEX is very user friendly and the level to which you want to use it is up to the user, it has the capacity to be a very powerful management system across all areas of maintenance from reporting, to issuing work orders, managing invoices, tracking depreciation, flagging insurance expiry dates and police checks, the list goes on . Overall we are very happy with the MEX CMMS system and their customer service is second to none. We highly recommend MEX. Review Source Response from TMA Systems February 3, 2017 Hi Joshua, Thanks very much for the glowing review we¿re thrilled to hear all our employees are treating you with the respect and enthusiasm you deserve. We¿re all about making things easier for our customers so it¿s great to hear you find our Asset Register user friendly and our system intuitive and easy adaptable to your maintenance needs. Our support staff are always on hand if you need anything. Kind Regards MEX BC Brad C. Senior Plant Engineer APAC Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mex adaptability" March 5, 2019 5.0 We not only have used Mex to record work completed, we have started to and will continue to develop reliability and analysis of equipment and product production to identify where the company can improve. Pros The equipment we use to produce our products are of a wide variety with a fair bit of difference to account for. Mex as a CMMS product was adaptable to meet our requirements. Reporting and data entry design can be customized to easily get the information required without much preparation. Cons Would like to be able to use Minor Job Codes in reporting Review Source Response from TMA Systems March 5, 2019 Hi Brad, Thank you very much for such a great review! We work hard to meet requirements like yours, and we are really pleased to hear that MEX has been adapatable to your needs. We hope your experience continues to run smoothly.

Engineering Projects Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Hive and Wellness MEX" April 21, 2024 5.0 I have enjoyed learning how to use MEX. Pros Relatively simple to use, with good after sales support Cons There are some things that just aren't intuitive, and you certainly need some training to get the most out of it. Review Source DW DAVID W. Maintenance Planner Printing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Barcoding in MEX" April 2, 2019 5.0 Pros Firstly MEX is user friendly, very easy to navigate through all the modules. Mex catalogue for spares is extremely important to us and is easy to set up and maintain. Currently introducing barcoding to our catalogue. Customer support is clear & very helpful when required. Cons My experience with this software over many has always been positive & at this point I am struggling to identify an area in MEX that I like least. Review Source Response from TMA Systems April 4, 2019 Hi David, Thank you very much for such a great review! We are so pleased to hear that MEX has had such a positive effect on your business. It is great to hear about our customer success stories so thanks again for sharing it. MD Malcolm D. Reliability Manager Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good, fit for purpose CMMS" February 7, 2017 4.0 We use Mex in 14 sites across the group and have found it to be an excellent tool to help manage our maintenance processes. I would recommend this software to anyone that wants a simple to use but customisable CMMS. Pros Straightforward ease of use, can customise to a relatively high level, and on phone support is superb. Cons It rarely does have a glitch. I think it is mainly our internet connection. A quick restart though and all is good Review Source Response from TMA Systems February 7, 2017 Hi Malcom, Thanks very much for taking the time to review MEX Maintenance Software. We¿re stoked to hear Mauri finds MEX to be so user friendly and simple across all 14 of your sites. We hope your MEX experiences continue to be smooth!

Project Manager Facilities Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Masonic Care MEX Review" January 27, 2017 4.0 I have found MEX to be confusing at times compared to other systems that I have used. We use MEX mainly to issue work orders to outside trades & in-house Maintenance personal, we then receive invoices from the external trades which we input into MEX, I find we seem to be having to double up on the amount of information that is required, ie you have to input the same information over various pages when you would think it would self generate onto these pages. This in it self is rather cumbersome & time consuming, or else I am doing something wrong. Pros The ease of use when set up, Cons Very clunky set up, information drops off the system with any apparent reason. Review Source Response from TMA Systems January 27, 2017 Hi David, thanks for taking the time to review the MEX Software, we¿re sorry to hear you¿ve been experiencing some difficulties with the usability. One of our friendly support representatives will be giving you a call to see if we can help smooth things out for you. JH Jo H.

Online support fast, friendly, knowledgeable and on point. Pros Easy to catalogue and find parts. Comprehensive search fields. Cons No "Bill of Materials" in the Stores Menu No Manual just a training book Unable to load multiple suppliers and unable to add a supplier that isn't "preferred" when importing catalogue items. Review Source Response from TMA Systems September 27, 2022 Hi Jo, Thank you for sharing your feedback, both positive and constructive.

DH Daren H. Proprietor Used the software for: 2+ years ### "MEX CMMS System Review - Long Term User." February 17, 2017 5.0 Been with MEX since 2010, looked at many other CMMS before purchasing MEX, and even now review others to see if the current set up meets our needs. Overwhelmingly, MEX delivers. Even the best things in life sometimes dont perform the way we were expecting. With MEX, the support we receive is outstanding. Support calls are dealt with often within minutes. You have to go a long way to beat this overall package. Review Source Response from TMA Systems February 20, 2017 Hi Daren, Thanks for the review, we¿re thrilled to hear that MEX continues to meet your requirements and that our support experiences have been outside. Kind regards, The MEX Team DM Duncan M.
