Case Study: Food Preservation Company achieves streamlined work orders, improved safety, and cost visibility with UpKeep

Why a science company specializing in food preservation products turned to UpKeep to improve its work order and asset management

Food Preservation Company, a multi-site science firm specializing in food-preservation products, faced limited corporate visibility and inefficient maintenance processes: work orders were printed and closed manually, safety incidents and assets were hard to track, and the project-planning software in use didn’t support preventive maintenance across locations. To address this, the company engaged UpKeep and adopted its maintenance and work-order management platform (CMMS) to centralize work orders, assets, spare parts, and safety data.

UpKeep was rolled out globally so technicians and managers can create, filter, and close work orders quickly, track preventive maintenance schedules, and view site performance in a few clicks. The system improved communication of safety issues (for example, enforcing an annual hose-replacement preventive task), enabled clearer cost tracking to standardize equipment across sites, reduced time spent managing work orders, and shifted technicians from reactive to proactive maintenance. UpKeep’s platform delivered faster workflows, better visibility, and measurable operational efficiency gains.
