Maintenance Connection Reviews & Pricing

Key Features

• Asset Management: Manage your entire asset lifecycle from acquisition to disposal.
  • Multi-Site Capabilities: Whether you're a factory with machines spread across multiple sites or a school district managing buildings and buses, you can stay on top of your assets with centralized data and visibility.
  • Asset Hierarchy: Arrange everything neatly in folders, just like on your computer. You might have a folder for "Radiology Department," with subfolders for "MRI Machines" and "X-Ray Equipment.”
  • Asset Profiles: You don't need to be a tech whiz to create a new asset profile. The drag-and-drop interface offers an intuitive way to create, search and edit asset profiles.
  • Asset Search: Need to find the maintenance history of a specific equipment? Just search for it by name, location, or even its current status, like "needs repair" or “out of service.”
• Predictive Maintenance: Shift from reactive to proactive maintenance with predictive maintenance tools.
  • Condition Monitoring: Set up alerts that go off when things like temperature or pressure start acting up. That way, you know there's a potential problem before it becomes a major headache.
  • IoT Integration: By connecting sensors to your equipment, you get real-time performance data, allowing you to catch problems early. For example, if a sensor detects unusual vibrations or a temperature change, you'll be alerted immediately.
  • Configurable Dashboard: Some machines are critical for your operations and need more attention than others. Dashboards help you figure out which ones need more frequent maintenance. They also provide a clear picture of how your current maintenance strategies are performing. Are you fixing things as they break, or are you getting ahead with preventive maintenance?
• Preventive Maintenance: Schedule tasks proactively, optimize technician routes and prioritize critical equipment to prevent unexpected downtime.
  • Scheduling: Plan preventive maintenance tasks based on time, usage or condition-based triggers to minimize unexpected breakdowns. Imagine you've got a fleet of delivery trucks. You can set it up so that every 5,000 miles, the system automatically generates a work order for an oil change. You can set reminders for less frequent tasks like annual inspections.
  • Route Management: Help technicians plan their routes, access work orders and update statuses in real time. This means less time wasted driving around and more time spent on actual maintenance.
  • Prioritization: Prioritize tasks based on criticality. So, if a machine is essential for production, the system will schedule its maintenance ahead of less urgent tasks. This helps prevent those nightmare scenarios where crucial equipment fails unexpectedly.
• Work Order Management: Create work orders with all the important details, like what needs fixing, how urgent it is and when it needs to be done. Assign them to the right people, so everyone knows who's responsible.
• Maintenance Request Form: Open the request form on your phone, describe the issue, snap a photo if needed and hit submit. Your request goes straight to the maintenance team. Track the progress in real time — see when it’s assigned, being worked on and fixed.
• Inventory Management: Tackle issues like stockouts and procurement inefficiencies with inventory management capabilities.
  • Inventory Control: Automate inventory management using minimum and maximum values, reorder points and material transfers. For instance, if your spare AC filters drop below a certain number, it sends you a notification and can even generate a purchase order to restock them.
  • Barcode Capabilities: Check out parts, perform inventory counts and receive new items using barcode scanners.
  • Stockroom Management: Keep track of all your inventory costs and know exactly what's on hand, what's available and what's reserved.
• Reporting and Analytics: Use statistical reports with 150 prebuilt designs and customizable formats to gain insight into your operations.
  • Forecasting: Predictive maintenance capabilities enable you to stock just the right amount, so you're not wasting money on excess inventory or scrambling to find parts when you need them most. It also lets you estimate future work order volumes and types based on historical data to plan your team's time and resources effectively.
  • KPI Dashboard: Gain a real-time snapshot of how everything's running. You can customize the dashboard to see the metrics that matter the most to you, whether it's work order completion rates, equipment downtime or anything else that keeps you up at night.
  • Auto Notifications: If something goes off the rails, you can set up alerts to get notified immediately, so you can jump on it and keep things running smoothly.
  • Audit Logs: Track all changes made to work orders, including who made the changes, what was changed and when. And just like a confidential file, only the right people can access this audit log, keeping your data safe and sound.
  • Configurable Reports: Turn your existing dashboards into shareable reports, available in visually appealing formats and printer-friendly PDFs. Generate labor, inventory and spare parts, work orders, maintenance history, and asset and equipment depreciation reports to make informed decisions.
• Mobile CMMS: The MC Kinetic app enables you to update work orders, log time, and even add new assets on the fly. Capture electronic signatures right on your phone, making the approval process faster and more efficient. Technicians can use geolocation to track location and get turn-by-turn directions to the job site.
• Compliance and Audit Preparedness: See who's certified for which tasks, making it easy to assign the right people to the right jobs. Need to schedule some training? You can quickly see who needs a refresher course. The system makes sure the right tasks are done at the right time, so you avoid those "oops, we forgot" moments that auditors hate.
