Case Study: Academica Nevada achieves 50% reduction in facilities coordination time and significant cost savings with FMX

FMX Helps Charter School Management Company Spend Less Time on Facilities and More Time on Educational Experience

Academica Nevada is a charter school management company that supports four K–12 schools across 12 campuses serving about 12,000 students. Without a formal work-order system, maintenance requests routinely slipped through the cracks, vendor updates were scarce, communication between staff and contractors was time-consuming, and there was no way to track costs by campus.

Implementing FMX gave Academica Nevada a centralized, easy-to-learn work-order system with unlimited users, a calendar view, automated approvals/notifications, and cost-tracking reports. The result: at least a 50% reduction in time spent coordinating maintenance—freeing the facilities manager to focus on special projects like a shade shelter—and data-driven decisions such as a rooftop unit replacement plan projected to save over $30,000 per year in HVAC services.
