Case Study: Michels Corporation achieves streamlined tool management with AssetWorks' EquipmentFocus

How Michels Streamlined Tool Management with AssetWorks

Michels Corporation, a North American construction firm with roughly 12,000 assets across multiple locations, faced fragmented and largely paper-based maintenance and tool-tracking processes. After rolling out AssetWorks FleetFocus in 2013 to manage equipment, the company still lacked integrated tool management for tens of thousands of items—preventing work‑order creation, inventory visibility and consistent repair history tracking.

Michels implemented AssetWorks EquipmentFocus to integrate tool tracking with FleetFocus, import their existing database, and give teams browser‑based access to complete maintenance histories and cost data. The solution improved inventory visibility, enabled better repair-versus-replace decisions, streamlined operations through analysis and training, and provided ongoing collaboration with AssetWorks for continued feature development.
