Welcome to the MaintainX Community! Introduce Yourself!

Been in the maintenance profession for over 30 years.  Last 10 years, I’ve been with Magna Corp in Bowling Green, KY.  We implemented MaintainX about 3 years ago, in place of some “paper system” and I decided to join this group to see how we could utilize it better.  

Thanks, Derek

Hello, My name is Jamie and I am the director of Maintenance for Comfort Care Homes (Homes for Dementia Residents) we have 8 homes at this time. I have over 25 years of experience, but have only been with this company for 1+years. In all my past building I have used “Tels”… After using MaintainX it is 100% better. 

Hello!

I’m Gabe Klindt, IT Help Desk, at Morasch Meats in Portland, Or. 

MaintainX should help our teams tremendously. The intro training made the basics easy to digest and learn. I’m looking forward to Admin training.

Best,

Gabe

Hello. My name is Don Mathews and I am employed doing corporate building general maintenance in Columbus, Ohio. My team and I were introduced to MaintainX  yesterday and we are in trial of the product for the next month. I have been playing with MaintainX since and have many questions that I will be asking for help with over the upcoming weeks.

As general maintenance, I just do general plumbing, electrical, wall repair, and meeting setups and teardowns. I also pick up trash and plunge toilets. I work hard taking care of the corporate associates and keep them happy. The corporate world. I’ve only been doing this for about 7.5 years, and keep forgetting about as much as I learn, but a I keep plodding on...researching how to do things, asking questions of teammates, occasionally screwing up. Haven’t burned anything down...yet. I’m glad I’m here. I’m glad I am a part of this trial to see how MaintainX can be integrated into our work world and improve how we get things done.

I have one last thing. Lets see who knows what to do. O!H!...

Hello. My name is Matt Broker. I am the safety guy for a steel company in Wisconsin. I am overseeing our maintainx software across both locations. I’ve been using it for less than a year but recently have been tasked with being the main point of contact for all things maintainx. I look forward to learning more about the capabilities of this software. 

I’m new to MaintainX but not CMMS as I’ve been a Maximo super user and assisted in a couple different implementations. We are moving to MaintainX from EPAC and I’m going to be assisting. In my current role I’m a TPM coordinator, I’m a Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional and am really hoping to provide our maintenance manager a clearer picture of our KPI’s using as much of the functionality of this system. Looking forward to getting a much better understanding of what the MaintainX capabilities are.

Good afternoon, my name is Chuck Blair. I am new to Maintain X. I am the Safety & Health Director for a large HVAC contractor. I am also the newly assigned fleet maintenance contact person. We have had no fleet maintenance program. After reviewing our out-of-pocket costs for 2024, it was apparent we needed a maintenance program. Nick was able to address our concerns and presented the Maintain X program in an easy-to-understand format and it was just the ticket we need. I look forward to getting started and your help would be greatly appreciated.

     I was actually retired as a plant manager and then director of facility services. That retirement lasted 1½ weeks before my wife told me to go find something to do. I am not one to sit around. My daughter who happens to be the general manager of this HVAC company called me and asked if I would be interested in coming to work for her part time as the safety director as their Safety person retired. Here I am. My daughter who worked for me is now my boss. Got a love it.

     Married 51 yrs. 5 children, 4 girls and 1 boy. 10 Grand kids and 1 great granddaughter. I fish and hunt and my wife and I are heavy into gardening. Spend all our extra time with our grandkids as much as possible.

     Thats my story and i’s sticking to it. Chuck

Hello, My name is Amell Lemoniel maintenance supervisor. in texas

Hello All, my name is Lane Smith. I own a Clinical equipment service company in Mississippi.  We have been looking for a flexible and reasonably easy to learn maintenance software for the business. I'm still in the trial period, but of all the offerings we've looked over, this one so far seems the most promising.  Our customers are smaller hospitals, clinics, & doctors offices. In addition we service medical & industrial laboratories. All of these require regulatory documentation of performance, safety, & routine maintenance. We are currently doing this with Excel & Adobe Acrobat forms. If you think that record keeping this way is a nightmare you would be correct. I am impressed with the ease I've been able to create procedures. And format data. I hope all the diverse businesses I have seen represented here are having an equally successful time using MaintainX. 

Hello Friends, I am Ernie Plemmons and serve Future Foam Inc as Inventory and supply Manager. I have been with MaintainX for 4 years. This is an amazing journey to walk with MX! 

Hey James!!! I’m so glad I saw your post - I live in Old Town and work at Jackson Lab in Bar Harbor! :) 

We are trying out MaintainX as a potential replacement for Maximo, and I’d love to talk with you sometime to get your feedback on your experience. I’ll reach out to you separately.

In the meantime - hi all! :) I’m the Maintenance Planner at the flagship campus for a non-profit genetics research institution located in Bar Harbor, Maine. We have four sites in the US; I work at the largest of them, with approx. 1600 employees and 26 buildings to maintain. I support our supervisors and technicians at all sites, and do most of the administration for our CMMS (currently Maximo, but we’re switching by the end of this year). We have a team of ~30 technicians here in Bar Harbor, and 5-18 technicians each at our other sites. We maintain process equipment, air handlers, pumps, complex building automation setups and general employee comforts. 

Fun fact - I am a blues/rock/soul vocalist, and perform in 3 active working bands in addition to my full-time job at JAX. I’m looking forward to learning from the community! :)

Hi, absolute newbie here and we are in week three of implementation. I lead the Property and Facilities functions for a Public Research Organisation in New Zealand whose focus is climate and environmental, geological, geothermal, natural hazards and advance materials research. Within that I have AM improvement responsibilities across FM and Science assets portfolios. Before this I was responsible for roughly 70 buildings that formed part of a local heath board network across the Wellington region. Within that role there was also responsibility for clinical engineering supporting all the medical equipment assets. Implementation is going well and the support is awesome. Looking forward to being part of the community and building our use of the tools into everyday practice. 

Hello,

My name is Teddy Jr. Andres, and I'm from Canada. I'm excited to explore this new technology it's incredibly convenient to use across devices, from phone to tablet to the web.

Best regards,

My previous position was Director of Global Maintenance for a drilling fleet of 16 offshore rigs, 4 of which were ships. Looking forward to making life easy with MaintainX. 

Fun Fact: The name Rooster was tagged on me 30 years ago because my boss at that time thought I was “as hard to keep track of as Banty Rooster”.

Hi Everyone!  My name is Andrew, and I am the Director of Facilities at University of New England.  We are a private non-profit with two campuses in Southern Maine.  We transitioned from our old CMMS to MaintainX this past May, and it’s been a great, but wild ride.  We like MaintainX, but are still learning all the features and quirks along the way.  I’m interested in connecting with other Facilities professionals who use MaintainX daily, to share ideas and learn from each other.  Thanks for welcoming me into your community.  

Hi! My name is Emily Huckie and I am a Cyclotron Facility Engineer at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. The facility calls me the MaintainX Queen.

I honestly love MaintainX, it has streamlined many of our processes and reduced our paperwork dramatically. We use it daily and it is extremely helpful to have real time updates from everyone in the facility. 

It was fun to read the wide array of fields and applications for MaintainX. I wonder if we are the only nuclear pharmacy currently using MaintainX. 

Here’s to easy maintenance with no issues (: <3

I'm Denton Hess, an industrial equipment specialist with over 35 years of experience in the Semiconductor Manufacturing industry, specializing in complex equipment maintenance and engineering.

My background includes establishing and improving maintenance programs, writing procedures (BKM), and leading technical teams. I bring a strong foundation in PLC systems, digital and analog electronic theory, and complex chemical/RF processing systems.

Currently, I'm focusing on projects related to CMMS implementation and the development of effective Preventive Maintenance (PM) programs.

I'm looking forward to leveraging this experience to become an independent system integrator, subject matter expert (SME), and consultant for the MaintainX CMMS platform. I hope to connect with the community and share my extensive experience in operational efficiency and system reliability!

Hello All,

Senior Maintenance Technician here been in maintenance most of my life, helped setup many CMMS programs over the years. MaintianX seems like a decent program so far. Hope I can help some of you out and find answers I need from you.

Jerry here, independent consultant based in the Greater Toronto Area.  Over the years my maintenance titles have included platoon commander, supervisor, manager, director.  Add project engineer, reliability engineer, engineering director and VP engineering and it all means … I’m getting old 😂  My career has been in the food manufacturing industry, working for names like Kraft, Molson, Maple Leaf Foods, Give and Go (now owned by Mondelez) and Goodleaf Farms (indoor vertical farming).

Now I work with food manufacturing, Controlled Environment Agriculture and private equity firms who invest in these spaces.  I came across MaintainX earlier this year, and did a deep dive comparison of several solutions for one of my clients.  It scored highest in my CSM, so we requested a demo, and I was blown away!  This client has absolutely no CMMS, not even a paper-based work order system.  The AI integration and links between all elements will literally save us months of work.

Having worked with various CMMS applications since 1994, including implementing a few, I can honestly say that MaintainX is a game-changer.  I’m looking forward to a smooth implementation, high user adoption and lots of free time for late season skiing, spring turkey hunting and figuring out that golf thing!

Hello. My name is Ryan Coloton and I am the Base Operations Manager at Woodward Park City in Park City, Utah. We are an action sports facility that offers skiing, snowboard, snowtubing, skateboarding, and more. I am responsible for facilities maintenance, custodial services, parking operations, snow removal, landscape maintenance, and event support.

My small team and I have been using MaintainX for just over a year and it has been huge help to us. Over the past year we have made large improvements in our facility preventative maintenance programs with MaintainX. We are always looking to learn from others what best practices they have found using the program. 

Hi,

I am the SAP Plant Maintenance key user currently exploring the possibility of implementing MaintainX.

Would be very interested in hearing from anyone who has already undertaken such a journey and would like to share their experience.
