Case Study: Callan Marine achieves major downtime reduction and skyrocketing equipment reliability with Fiix

How a dredging company excavated their Excel-based maintenance program and skyrocketed reliability with Fiix

Callan Marine is a Texas-based dredging company that restores berthing depths and maintains waterways. Facing project downtime that costs $3,000–$5,000 per hour, they were relying on error-prone Excel spreadsheets for maintenance and purchasing, which led to lost requests, retyping, and reactive repairs as the fleet grew.

They implemented cloud-based Fiix—a configurable, per-seat CMMS—to centralize work orders, parts and purchasing, and to enable mobile-based, preventive maintenance. Within weeks the team gained better cost tracking, fewer emergencies, and clearer planning across four sites; Justin McCormick expects a significant reduction in downtime and measurable ROI within 90 days as Callan shifts from reactive to preventive maintenance.
