Case Study: Alto Products achieves preventive maintenance and reduced reactive repairs with UpKeep

Alto Products Moves from Reactive to Preventive Maintenance

Alto Products faced an outdated, paper-based maintenance system that left technicians bogged down by work-order paperwork and made preventive maintenance nearly impossible. The company selected UpKeep’s web-based maintenance management software — accessible on tablets with QR-code asset tracking — for its simple interface, affordability, and ability to be customized during onboarding.

UpKeep implemented a tablet-friendly CMMS and supported a smooth onboarding, allowing Alto to pilot preventive maintenance in its steel flattening and paper press areas; within months reactionary calls dropped, technicians were freed for other work, and parts replacements declined — saving Alto thousands of dollars. With UpKeep, Alto now tracks planned and unplanned work orders, is improving data quality, and is building analytics to further reduce downtime.
