Case Study: Proterra Saves $250K in Maintenance Costs with MaintainX

Proterra cuts maintenance costs by $250K with MaintainX

Proterra, an electrification partner for heavy-duty transportation manufacturers, faced significant maintenance challenges at its new plant. The team, led by maintenance manager Ashley Edmond, struggled with minimal equipment documentation and high downtime after the integrators who installed the specialized machinery departed. Without a centralized system, they were stuck in reactive mode, risking production targets and technician burnout. To build a strong foundation, they turned to the CMMS platform MaintainX.

By implementing MaintainX, the team established a proactive maintenance program. The solution provided a streamlined interface for work orders and reporting, and its AI features helped surface critical repair patterns instantly. This enabled Proterra to save $250,000 in maintenance costs, avoid over 192 hours of downtime, and raise equipment availability to 92%. The platform also helped the team build a comprehensive knowledge base and improve parts management, eliminating stockouts.
