Problem Statement
As Spa Group scaled up its manufacture and trade, Maintenance of mining equipment at client sites posed challenges. Catastrophic breakdowns of large equipment made the client firms take a dig at the service department of Spa Group and affected the purchase of chemicals and minerals manufactured and sold by Spa Group too.
The conglomerate decided to go in for a digital solution to stop sudden equipment failure. They wished the solution also addressed the issue of costly spare management.
With technicians spread across the globe, scheduling and tracking maintenance work in different geographic locations following various time zones became tedious. Maintenance managers found it difficult to ensure the maintenance crew had access to the right tools, updated information, and proper communication channels to complete their work.

The management of Spa Group decided to take full ownership of maintenance at client facilities to end clueless breakdowns. It defined well-thought-out PPM schedules with easy digital checklists accessible from any mobile device. The PPM schedule automation at regular intervals reduced failures to bare minimum levels. Maintenance teams updated work status and progress even when offline. The updations were synchronized immediately when online. So all maintenance teams offshore and onshore were on the same page.
The true beauty of digitization was that the maintenance managers uploaded all the data on the assets, spares, and schedules from excel sheets to the application in bulk, at one go, effortlessly.The mobile-based ticketing system earned Spa Group the reputation of being a maintenance services partner rather than a mere provider. Any employee who noticed an issue raised a service request via a simple mobile scan of the QR code pasted on assets. The supervisors were instantly notified on the arrival of service requests, added necessary documents and information, and routed work orders through the system from their mobile, while on the go. The clients of Spa Group were happy with the immediate attention.
The application provided a provision for the maintenance team to store spares at client locations and be thorough on the stock at any time. It alerted concerned stakeholders whenever a spare type hit pre-defined low levels so that they could fill the inventory on time. Maintenance managers, technicians, and all end-users realized the power of ONE centralized cloud storage. Each technician had access to the same processes and required resources in the InnoMaint CMMS.
