Peace of mind and control at Van Merksteijn's technical department
In mid-2017, the ambition arose to increase control over the asset management processes of the technical department of the manufacturer of reinforcement products and fencing panels. The implementation took place at the end of the year.
Experiences with Ultimo
“I first heard about Ultimo through our network. Now that we have been using Ultimo for a number of years, my idea of the software turns out to be correct. The software is easy to use and easy to customize. We have more insight into our equipment and the maintenance history. We basically focus on productivity, and with the data from Ultimo I can see what failures have occurred and whether it was due to a technical or other cause. There is a certain level of calm in the department. A sense of control. Both the technical management and the stock management are in order.”
Obtained results:
- The coordination of periodical maintenance work is more streamlined.
- More insight into the condition of the assets, including the maintenance history.
- More complete picture of the maintenance costs. Not just the total costs but also the equipment level.
- More control over stock management of the warehouses and spare parts, resulting in fewer out-of-stock situations and lower stock levels. This is cost-saving.
