Case Study: Layfield Group improves inventory management and reduces downtime with UpKeep

Layfield Group saves $10,000 per hour of downtime with UpKeep

Layfield Group, a provider of construction materials and packaging solutions, faced significant challenges with its outdated, paper-based maintenance system. This cumbersome process required manually writing and tracking work orders, consuming valuable administrative time and leading to inefficiencies. To address this, the company selected UpKeep's mobile CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) to modernize its operations.

By implementing UpKeep, Layfield Group gained an intuitive platform for managing work orders, inventory, and maintenance history. The results were substantial cost savings and increased efficiency. The solution drastically reduced the time technicians spent searching for parts, saving thousands of dollars in lost revenue from machine downtime. Furthermore, UpKeep provided the data and organization needed to shift from reactive to preventive maintenance and enabled the company to successfully run an apprenticeship program despite a reduced senior staff.
