Case Study: Plews & Edelmann reduces maintenance costs with FTMaintenance

How Plews & Edelmann Reduced Equipment Maintenance Costs with FTMaintenance

Plews & Edelmann, an automotive parts manufacturer, faced significant challenges with disorganized maintenance records stored across network drives and spreadsheets. This made it difficult to track equipment history and justify labor costs to management, who considered downsizing the team. They also struggled with frequent, costly forklift repairs that were exceeding their maintenance budget.

By implementing FTMaintenance CMMS, the company centralized all equipment data and work order history. FTMaintenance provided comprehensive labor tracking, which allowed management to see the team's exact contributions and cancel the proposed downsizing. The data also revealed patterns in forklift issues, enabling them to eliminate many problems. This led to a reduction in repair costs, allowing the company to reallocate savings and keep within its maintenance budget.
