ADVACO Gains Customized Maintenance Automation and Reporting with SaaSMaint CMMS/EAM, Configured Solution Also Supports Performance and Availability Analysis

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) December 09, 2011

SaaSMaint.com today announced Advanced Vacuum Company, Inc., (a.k.a. ADVACO) has deployed SaaSMaint CMMS / EAM to automate maintenance reminders and reporting for its field teams servicing large clients. With SaaSMaint CMMS / EAM, ADVACO’s field teams have realized a significant reduction in administrative time, expediting maintenance workflow for clients with thousands of pieces of ADVACO-maintained equipment.

“Companies that perform equipment maintenance—especially those serving customers with very large inventories—are challenged in this economy to keep maintenance plans affordable and profitable,” said Mike Edwards, founder, SaaSMaint.com. “With SaaSMaint CMMS / EAM, companies keep their field service teams off the computer and on the job, tremendously increasing productivity while reducing labor expense.”

ADVACO needed a maintenance automation solution that would be easily accessible by all technicians, could generate accurate, in-depth reports, and was capable of logging daily technician activity for both corrective and preventive maintenance (PM). The firm wanted to leverage its existing investment with a solution whose infrastructure supported customizations and tight integration into Salesforce CRM.

“With thousands of pieces of equipment it wasn’t feasible for technicians to enter preventive maintenance orders manually,” said Mike West, ADVACO’s Director of Subfab Engineering. “SaaSMaint increases productivity significantly because it frees our technicians to do their work. We had a really defined focus on what features we needed, and SaaSMaint had exactly what our guys were looking for.”

SaaSMaint’s reporting features added a layer of functionality beyond what ADVACO expected from the solution. “With the information SaaSMaint gathers, I can easily calculate performance metrics such as man hours spent on equipment and mean repair time, so customers see the reliability value. Our customers want to know how many hours of availability or percentage of total time their equipment was available,” said West.

Synterprise Global Consulting Launches Redesigned Website Featuring Expanded Plant O&M Services and Boiler Performance Improvement Solutions

(PRWEB) April 23, 2005

Integrating a recently updated look and feel across all corporate communications, the new site offers many the same efficient attributes as the previous site, but features additional content and new online resources. With this redesign, Synterprise is focusing on their core strengths- creating clear and sustainable improvements and competitive value across functional business units in asset intensive industries. The updated website highlights CMMS / EAM services, reliability management, outage / shutdown performance, and boiler efficiency improvement and NOx reduction technologies.

“Synterprise’s increasing global visibility is now supported by a robust, integrated presence that clearly reflects our capabilities to provide our client with powerful asset optimization, plant performance, and combustion improvement solutions,” said Bob Moss, COO of Synterprise Global Consulting. “Our updated site provides a renewed sense of energy and innovation, and the world-class consulting services featured are anchored by our global exposure and implementation of industry ‘best practices’. Our clients know we have been where they are, and the experience we bring to the table has allowed them to place a higher standard of trust in Synterprise—our greatest asset.”

With recent installations and the widespread North America availability in 2004 of the Ecotube System–an advanced boiler combustion and performance improvement technology with powerful CO and NOx reduction capabilities—the updated site reflects additional supporting data requested by customers, especially in the biomass, pulp and paper, and waste to energy industries. Benefits include NOx and CO reduction- allowing organizations to maximize green credits participation, boiler lifecycle extension, and lower fuel, ash and disposal costs.

Users can now access new online features such as the EAM / CMMS Technology Evaluation Center, an automated decision support system, powered by the TEC Group which accesses thousands of functional and technical vendor criteria. The software, which features an expanding data base of CMMS and vendor information is now coupled with Synterprise’s FIVEstar’s ‘best practices’ EAM / CMMS evaluation methodologies to lower an organization’s risk of incorrectly selecting and implementing a CMMS system.

(PRWEB) October 29, 2004

Smartware Group, a company headed by veterans of the CMMS software industry, has released a new Version 5 of Smart Maintenance. Smart Maintenance is easy, effective, and affordable computerized maintenance management software (CMMS) used for preventive maintenance scheduling, work order management, inventory, predictive maintenance, analysis asset tracking, labor, maintenance requests, tool crib and more. As a proven facility management solution, Smart Maintenance works great in facilities of all sizes, from a one-person maintenance shop to an entire department of maintenance professionals. Smart Maintenance can work for one facility or across the country with multiple facilities.

Version 5 has powerful and exciting new facility management features such as enhanced preventive maintenance scheduling, tool crib management, step-by-step pictures for maintenance routines, automatic logging of downtime based on maintenance requests, PM balancing, enhanced predictive analysis and much more. Version 5 is offered in both MS SQL server and MS Access back-end database.

“Our CMMS software continues to mature and improve, primarily because we listen to our customer’s needs and suggestions. The best CMMS software is created not by the software people, but a collaborative process with our facility management customers,” says Paul Lachance, Chief Technology Officer for Smartware Group. Smart Maintenance is considered powerful, affordable and most importantly easy to use. “Smart Maintenance gives facility management professionals more ‘wrench’ time, rather than forcing them to spend needless hours in front of a computer,” says Lachance.

Founded in 2002, Smartware Group focuses exclusively on maintenance management software products. With over 300 customers and thousands of users, the company has built its success in the CMMS software industry by emphasizing product design bases on the real world experience, needs and interests of its maintenance management software customers and by offering excellent support and product evolution.
