Case Study: Sonoco achieves global productivity gains with DPSI iMaint CMMS

Sonoco gains $235 million in productivity with DPSI iMaint

Sonoco, a $2.6 billion global manufacturer, needed a cost-effective computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) to standardize operations and drive productivity gains across its facilities worldwide. The challenge was to find a solution that smaller plants could economically justify, while supporting key maintenance goals like preventive maintenance and failure analysis.

The solution was iMaint, a web-based CMMS from vendor DPSI. Sonoco selected DPSI's product for its functionality, cost-effectiveness, and excellent customer support. The implementation provided Sonoco with a unified system for all its plants, enabling standardized procedures and reporting. This contributed to the company's $235 million in productivity gains since 1997, while also reducing overall installed costs through the hosted solution.
