Case Study: Encore Wire achieves real-time maintenance and parts inventory tracking with Maintenance Connection

Streamlining operations with real-time maintenance and parts inventory tracking

Encore Wire, a leading U.S. manufacturer of copper and aluminum building wire headquartered in McKinney, Texas, operates 8 plants across a 2.1M sq ft footprint with $1.16B in annual sales and 1,200+ employees. As the company scaled, it relied on manual, paper-based work orders and had no online inventory or formal preventative maintenance program, making maintenance slow, hard to audit, and difficult to coordinate across 140+ technicians and 420 acres.

After deploying Accruent’s Maintenance Connection CMMS, technicians use mobile devices and barcode-enabled cameras to create and close work orders, get instant failure notifications, and manage a centralized parts catalog while a dedicated PPM team focuses on critical assets. The result: faster work-order processing, improved uptime and output, real-time parts visibility and location, easier sourcing of alternate parts, inventory cost history, and significant technician time savings.
