This dude has been busy hitting the trade show circuit, IMTS – International Manufacturing Technology Show a couple weeks back and heading to SMRP in Orlando next week (Oct 7-10,2024 talking real about solving maintenance management problems!! *It is not just about the software. It’s about the people, the process, and incorporating impactful maintenance and reliability best practices while building a culture of excellence. No BS. Zero #Hogwash. No buzz words.
Why do FMs switch their CMMS systems? It happens across verticals – in retail stores, healthcare facilities, educational institutions or office building operators – for a multitude of reasons. That’s why Basant Singhatwadia of Facilio joined CMMSradio – to discuss the CMMS customer experience, what clients want, and the surrounding influences that drive CMMS and FM success. Thank you, Basant, for a great conversation!!
Greg interviews Basant Senghatwadia, Director of Customer Success and Strategy at Facilio, a company that provides modern property operations solutions. They discuss insights from the FMI conference, particularly the impact of the recently ratified AIM Act on compliance in refrigeration management. Basant emphasizes the importance of CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management Software) in addressing compliance issues and improving customer service. Greg asked “Why do facilities managers switch CMMS systems?” It’s often due to vendors not listening to the users’ concerns, leading to frustration. We also touched on the significance of mobile applications for technicians and managers, the need for effective training materials to ease technology adoption, and the challenges of implementing new systems in large organizations. Basant advocates for a phased approach to deployment, ensuring stakeholder involvement and addressing real-world complexities.
