eWorkOrders CMMS semplifica la manutenzione di 42 punti vendita McDonald's
Negli ultimi 24 anni ho gestito la manutenzione e la riparazione di oltre 42 ristoranti McDonald's. IL eWorkOrders CMMS ha semplificato molti processi e migliorato la produttività nella gestione delle richieste di servizio, degli ordini di lavoro e delle comunicazioni tra il mio team di 7 tecnici di manutenzione e i GM del ristorante. Prima dell'implementazione di eWorkOrdersTenevamo elenchi individuali di riparazioni e richieste presso i vari negozi. Dovendo gestire tutta la manutenzione per tutte queste strutture, attrezzature, refrigeratori, ecc., io e il mio team ci siamo ritrovati con liste molto lunghe da gestire. Sebbene pensassimo che il processo funzionasse correttamente, sapevamo che doveva esserci un modo più efficiente per gestire le nostre strutture. Dopo aver incontrato Norm, il mio rappresentante commerciale, ha compreso le mie sfide e mi ha fatto una dimostrazione di eWorkOrders Software CMMS che mi ha mostrato le funzionalità e come eWorkOrders potrebbe migliorare i miei processi esistenti. Abbiamo deciso di implementare eWorkOrders in tutti i nostri ristoranti. È stata la mossa migliore che abbia mai fatto! Tutti i GM del negozio amano sapere che tutte le loro richieste sono state inserite nel file eWorkOrders Il sistema viene monitorato e verrà completato in modo tempestivo, inclusi gli ordini di componenti, ecc. Grazie al solido set di report standard, ora possiamo monitorare le attività a livello individuale e di punto vendita e analizzare i dati per apportare miglioramenti. Poter inviare una richiesta di assistenza e gestire gli ordini di lavoro da un dispositivo mobile è semplicemente fantastico! Vorrei averlo fatto. eWorkOrders anni fa. Grazie, Norm per il tuo aiuto e la tua professionalità nel renderci operativi eWorkOrdersNorm è sempre disponibile quando ho domande o problemi per migliorare quello che faccio, dato che non sono la persona più esperta in informatica. La buona notizia è che non è necessario esserlo. Spero di non sembrare un venditore, perché non lo sono, sono solo un cliente molto soddisfatto.
