The ability to export or embed the calendar in other sites and tools overcame the final custom printing hurdle.
Pros
The integration of events calendar with facilities maintenance team activities. The members of our staff can all login and view every event, get assigned task, review procedures, complete procedures, be updated immediately.
Cons
Key request module more like and inventory module - not designed to track history of person holding key the way I perform this task, since I cut keys in-house and track the return and possible reissue of a key including key fobs.

Recommendations to others considering Facilities Management eXpress (FMX)
select your URL name well when you start out. the better you train, integrate the process, import /migrate data or set-up... the more success you will have getting teammates to use it.
It is so much easier having a software solution that provides reminders, calendars, work request tickets, inventory, and reporting all in one solution.
Pros
The reporting module is very helpful when pulling reports for my upper management. Also, the FMX support staff is incredibly responsive and helpful!!
Cons
In the main calendar view module, there are no notification icons to visually see that a new request has been added, modified, or responded too.

Hi Colin!
We really appreciate you taking the time to write such an outstanding review for FMX! It is so exciting to know that you are such a huge fan of FMX, especially when it comes to its ease of use when organizing your equipment items.
Thank you for the suggestion for FMX to add notifications to the calendar view regarding new and modified requests. I would be happy to pass this request along to our development team!

We are still working on getting individual departments working with the system.
Pros
I like the ability to add links to pictures or other files to individual equipment. I like the way the calendar is setup to look at individual work-orders (planned or reactive.) Ability to add/change employees easily.
Cons
Do not like the inventory section, troublesome and no specific relationship to generate a tracking and inventory control.

Cons
If a middle management person or above enters a request, life is good.

I received the benefit of having a fluid facility requests process along with tracking equipment purchases, inventory tracking, and vehicle maintenance recording.
Pros
I like how flexible the software is. The team is always working to improve it as well, and it continues to become better and more flexible. And the team is always available to help me understand and maximize the software's flexibility.
Cons
Which is not saying much, because some things that I have imagined trying to do has either eventually been added as a feature or I found a work around.

Recommendations to others considering Facilities Management eXpress (FMX)
Stick with the vendors that will give you a shot at a free trial like FMX. If they can't support that, what can you expect after you write them a check?
We were very unhappy with our previous product from another company so we did a lot of research to find a new solution. We wanted something that was easily combustible to our needs and could be used by even our least computer savvy users. FMX has been just that on all counts.
It also gives me good data to be able to plan appropriately both with scheduling manpower and with budgets.
Pros
Also the flexibility to customize the software to suit our needs for equipment, work orders and inventory. This is important to be able to customize the software to how we work in our district.
Cons
Not able to reserve inventory against a work order while you are planning and scheduling it.

If you want a simple software to set up, simple for your tenants to use, and the ability to track trends, this software is for you. I looked at several different types of software and they all did really great things, but were very difficult to use. When dealing with tenants, we need to keep things simple.
Pros
Good, simple, easy to use and nice design. Good feature of admin setting.
Cons
There are problems when want to delete the bulk upload that already have some ticket assigned relate to that upload.

Do your due dilligence, as many of these software companies will charge extra for customization and support. FMX has a great price point and great serivce to back it up.
Every feature saves time posting requests, communicating status, billing, and reporting.
