Case Study: Cadillac Casting achieves 95% annual software fee savings and faster user adoption with eMaint

Cadillac Casting, Inc. Successfully Implements eMaint With Widespread Acceptance and Adoption

Cadillac Casting, a manufacturer of exhaust manifolds, steering knuckles and other cast components for the automotive industry, manages roughly 30,000 work orders a year. After its 2005 spin‑out from Hayes Lemmerz, the facilities team needed a more cost‑effective, user‑friendly CMMS than the DataStream 7i system (which would have required buying a new license).

They implemented eMaint for its speed, functionality and ease of use, and a cost comparison showed licensing of $20,000 vs. $60,000 and annual fees of $2,000 vs. $40,000. The switch delivered immediate benefits: 66% savings on up‑front licensing, 95% reduction in ongoing annual fees, and faster, friendlier software that drove strong user acceptance and adoption.
