Case Study: Encore Wire achieves real-time maintenance and parts inventory tracking with Accruent's Maintenance Connection

how Encore Wire technicians across 8 plants now conduct maintenance more quickly and digitally for real-time results for greater output

Encore Wire, a leading U.S. manufacturer of copper and aluminum building wire with 8 plants, 2.1 million sq ft of manufacturing space and over 1,200 employees, was growing rapidly while still relying on handwritten, paper-based work orders. With 140+ technicians across multiple sites they lacked a formal planned preventative maintenance program, a searchable parts inventory, and the organization and auditability needed to manage maintenance efficiently.

By implementing Accruent’s Maintenance Connection CMMS, Encore Wire introduced mobile work orders, real-time reporting, barcode-enabled parts checkout and a centralized inventory catalog, plus a dedicated PPM team for critical assets. The change delivered immediate visibility into maintenance and parts, faster work order creation and fulfillment, improved uptime and output, quicker service restoration through alerts, and better tracking of parts, costs and vendors.
