Case Study: New Albany-Plain Local Schools achieves 75% faster approvals and 50% workload reduction with FMX

Large School District Achieves Excellent Time Savings with FMX

New Albany-Plain Local School District (NAPLS), a K–12 Ohio district serving about 4,850 students and holding nine consecutive “Excellent” ratings, was hampered by three separate paper-based systems for maintenance and events. That fragmentation made work-order approvals slow and left event details arriving too late for the facilities team to prepare efficiently.

By implementing FMX’s cloud-based, mobile-friendly calendaring and request system, NAPLS streamlined processes, improved accountability with reporting dashboards, and enabled faster on-the-go approvals. The district reduced approval time by 75% and cut the facilities assistant’s workload by 50%, freeing staff to focus on higher‑value work.
