Case Study: Anderson Dahlen Inc achieves 900% engineering team growth and streamlined maintenance costs with Aptean EAM

Expanded engineering team by 900% in six months while streamlining maintenance costs

Anderson Dahlen, a specialty metal fabricator managing 500+ assets, faced fragmented maintenance processes, heavy reliance on costly outsourced contractors, and no central data on failures, downtime or response times—making it difficult to track preventative maintenance, prioritize work, or justify in-house hires.

After implementing Aptean EAM the company centralized PM requests and gained real-time visibility into workload and breakdowns, enabling data-driven decisions. This allowed Anderson Dahlen to bring technical support in-house, grow its engineering team from 1 to 9 in six months (a 900% increase), reduce maintenance overheads, cut downtime and improve service quality, with plans to add inventory forecasting and KPI baselines next.
