Schools are achieving operational excellence with FMX
With FMX, it feels like the work order system and the scheduling software are really a single seamless piece of software. I love the calendar view as a global view of everything. I appreciate the fact that I can grab my iPhone or iPad and still enter a work order while I’m out at a venue like our softball field.
One centralized system
School staff can manage work orders and facility scheduling from any device with an Internet connection.
FMX has helped us gain control of the submission, management, and resolution of our technology requests. Because user management is so simple to maintain, we can enforce that everyone in our district submits an FMX request for all tech work. We get a complete picture of how our resources are used and how efficient our technicians are at their jobs.
A complete view of district operations
Technology requests and workflows are seamlessly integrated into a centralized system.
We liked that we could filter the data and see exactly what we wanted to find and when we wanted to see it. Our old system could not do that. It makes it so much easier to find a work order or what the team did. Capturing the information is a part of what makes FMX stand out.
Captures and analyzes important information
Managers can capture and report on important information about technicians' activities in the field.
500+ school districts have upgraded to FMX
