Agriculture Company Finds Maintenance Management and Tracking Maintenance KPIs Easy with eWorkOrders

April 2019

Customer Challenge:  One of the largest agriculture growers in the US came to us looking for a system that would consolidate all of their information and keep track of all of their assets. It was important to be able to store manuals, documents, and pictures in one location that is easy to use. With their current process of using spreadsheets to manage their tools inventory, they had no way of knowing what and when tools were taken out of inventory, who took the tools out and if and when they would be returned. Keeping accurate track of equipment downtime is extremely critical because this impacts their bottom line.

For example, in his maintenance department, he doesn’t need to see the inventory for the grower’s department.

• With the eWorkOrders CMMS solution, all of the information is stored in one centralized location.
• Working with real-time information, work orders and schedules can be viewed, generated, prioritized or changed at any time.

They could get it up and running the same day.  Very full-featured. Excellent support that understood not only the product, but also my real need for it. In other words, they took the time to understand my business, not just sell their solution. Responsive, easy to understand and easy to reach. Exceptionally good value. We have tried both the Timberline and MRI service management modules and we find this product 100x easier to use. We have been very pleased since we first started using it. Not only is the product very good, but the service is over the top good. I was trying to develop a custom solution with a programmer and wasted dozens of hours and thousands of dollars to get way, way less functionality that is delivered by this product.
