Hello. I was hired 3 months ago as Operations Manager of a family owned wash in New England and have been searching for a Computerized Maintenance Management System(CMMS) for a few weeks now. I've looked at MaintainX, WashUp, Accordev, and a few others but really haven't settled on anything yet. I've had a couple demos, some phone calls, but I'm also still learning all the systems/mechanics here. Of course things are going wrong and needing replacing in the meantime.
One major hurdle I'm personally having... Will CMMS be truly useful for the car wash without being over bearing to use? I can see how helpful it will be, pushing necessary tasks to the top, color coding, photos, videos, etc. ... However for many of the small daily jobs, it might be more of a hassle to input and track, having employees checking off every little thing. Also certain tasks can be assigned but will always require some inspection, manager monitoring/help, etc.
I know this is a bit of an over think, and any implementation will surely help us; our maintenance company actually uses MaintainX, so I'm leaning towards them. However I might be interested in your ground up development; send me a private message if you like and we can exchange contact information.
Thank you,
Jason R.
