Thankful to have it available to my maintenance, transportation, and custodial teams as well as a great tool to keep a facilities usage calendar for our entire school system to use.

Helps me have my work organized on all maintenance schedules up to date and the office teem all on the same page with schedules and reservations on all of the areas.

Director, Facilities Operations and Maintenance

The implementation was seamless with outstanding customer support (thanks,  [sensitive content hidden]), and the software’s versatility—from maintenance requests to mapping and capital planning—makes it a real value across multiple departments.

Director of Building Operations

The maintenance module reporting has provided the data needed to justify an additional staff member for our Building Operations team.

I enjoy being able to customize the website with our resources and that my changes are protected from others being able to change my data.

We’re currently implementing mapping to connect assets and key areas of our campus, and we’re excited to eventually roll everything into capital planning.

Having different tabs for the Calendar, Maintenance Requests, and Schedule Requests is so helpful to be able to see everything I'm looking for in one space.

Assistant Director

Not only is it user friendly but you can add images to help depict the problem.

IT Director

Instead of it being tiered by essentially "Time/Date" of submission.

Office Manager

We as a school district have many reports and information that is needed to be pulled for different departments.

one thing I heard is that I cannot attach a PDF file.

Director of Operations

I wish I received a notification if a community user updated their insurance.

We were able to go paperless and let all our Technicians go mobil with iPads.  

Director of Facilities and Operations

The platform offers excellent reporting and work order management functionality, along with an intuitive and user-friendly interface.

Director of Educational Technology

Import/export features boost efficiency and make completing tasks much easier.

We also can prioritize work orders based on needs.

I am grateful to be able to customize the areas and resources we have and easily add or change our on-hand counts when needed.

The UI is great and the customization is great.

We are way more organized, efficient, and budget conscious.  

Adult Ministry Associate

It is also helpful to have the information available to be referenced back to as needed for both parties.

I like that anyone at a "Staff" account level can make an account and submit work orders for my team.

I appreciate the visibilty to all stakeholders too.

Coordinator of Campus Logistics

There are a few fields in the schedule request I would like to take out, but they are standard to the FMX system

Support Services Sec

We use it for inventory and work orders for Maintenance.  

We started with just the schedule requests for space and calendar management.  

The ability to be completely paperless and mobil.

ASSISTANT

NOT ONLY DO THEY ANSWER MY QUESTIONS OR HELP ME RESOLVE MY ISSUES, THEY ALSO SHOW ME WAYS TO RESOLVE THEM MYSELF.

Not to mention how easy it is to export the reports.

The ability to manage all service events and keep track of upcoming service events.

Was able to customize extensively to create a local module to even track Marketing request.

MOST OF THE CONS ARE ABOUT USER ERROR, EITHER MINE OR MY "CUSTOMERS"!

Administrative Assistant, Director of Facilities

Also, the "on behalf of" feature is useful, but it has confused a lot of people, as they think they need to select their own name in that field.   

Facilities & Operations Administrative Assistant

We also use the reporting to show our Board of Educators how many PM's and Work Orders we've done Monthly and then Yearly to verify the need to keep our department.

Business Analyst

Very customizable, lots of options to customize forms & settings.  

Interim Facilities Director

Fmx is a great bridge gapping tool between our techs and employees (requesters) on acknowledging, statues, and completion of work orders.

Key management solution did not work for the way we manage keys for instance.

There are a lot of customizable options, so it can be tricky to know what to select at first.  

Facilities Coordinator

The only problem that we originally had with FMX was the fact that they don't have an app for the program.

IT Coordiantor

The teachers can check on the status of their work orders without having to call or email me.

It has definitely increased our productivity by providing updates in real time, reducing data entry, and automatically scheduling work orders.
