CMMS Software for Manufacturing Plants

You’re trying to build products, not giant piles of paperwork. When you’re tied to old-fashioned paper-based methods, you’re wasting time at every step of the unreliable process. First, you scribble everything out by hand, increasing your chances of data corruption. From there, with your only copies on paper, you run the constant risk of losing data. Later, if someone needs to manually punch that data into a spreadsheet, you’re once again risking mistakes. 

Hippo CMMS for manufacturing makes data capture easy. Techs can use the mobile app to log information directly into the system in real time. And once it’s in Hippo, everyone on the team can see the updates. Everyone’s working from the same data, boosting transparency and accountability. 

Old methods rely on stacks of paper or endless, slightly different versions of spreadsheets spread across email attachments. But the key to data you can trust and leverage is having it all in one spot, where you know it’s up to date. Hippo takes all your critical data and keeps it safe in a cloud-based database your team can access from any Internet-connected mobile device.  

And the best part is we do all the IT heavy lifting for you, from helping you set up the database to running all the security and updates.  

With all your data in one spot, it’s much easier to take control of your maintenance programs. Schedule PMs for all your critical assets and equipment for when they work best for you. Hourly PMs for shift oriented work, including cleaning schedules. Assign resources to the work orders that best fit their skill sets, while still being able to re-prioritize work as demands change.   

And with inventory control, you can cut downtime by ensuring your team has the parts and materials they need right when they need them. Set par levels and have the software send you alerts as soon as you’re running low. Keep track of inventory automatically by associating parts and materials with PMs and work orders. Best of all, avoid the stress of having operators standing idle as techs try to track down critical parts. 

Hippo’s CMMS for manufacturing delivers what you need most: control over equipment, people, and parts. The first step is by making it easy for you to know where you stand right now. With easy-to-read, customizable dashboards, you can see all the assigned jobs, schedule and prioritize tasks, and track progress. It’s much easier to ensure safety and compliance when you can reliably assign work and know the team can properly complete it. And interactive site plans and floor maps show you exactly where everything is, making scheduling more intuitive and efficient. 

When you can see the big picture, you can finally make decisions driven by reliable data instead of following your gut and hoping for the best. 

Before you can manufacture anything, you need your assets online, up and running. And for every minute they’re down, it’s costing you money and frustration. Hippo CMMS gives you the tools you need to build reliable manufacturing lines that maximize productivity without compromising on safety.

Maintenance doesn’t happen from behind a desk. You need your data to be out where you are, on the factory floor or moving between manufacturing plants. Hippo’s mobile maintenance app helps you do everything from generating and assigning work orders to tracking work in progress.

And with a quick scan of a bar code on an asset, techs get all the information they need to work efficiently, including equipment data and open associated work orders and PMs.

Paper and spreadsheets do more than just slow you down; they also trip you up with unreliable, out-of-date data. Maintenance is hard enough. Why make your life even harder?  

Modern CMMS software puts you in control with streamlined work order management, PM scheduling, and real-time inventory control. Keep the production line up and running without running yourself and your team into the ground. 

As soon as the production line goes down, you’re losing money. Modern CMMS solutions help you keep the line running with regularly scheduled maintenance and fast repairs. Track all your work on one platform to discover and implement stronger, faster workflows.

With paper and spreadsheets, it’s too easy for work to slip through the cracks, increasing your risk of expensive unscheduled downtime. With Hippo’s autogenerated PMs and easy tracking, you can stay safely ahead of problems. And the easy-to-read dashboards with drag-and-drop functionality make scheduling as simple as a few well-placed clicks.

How much of your annual MRO inventory budget are you wasting? It could be as much as 80%. Get the right parts right when you need them with Hippo’s built-in inventory tracking. Set min/max levels with auto-alerts so you always know when to send in the next order based on past usage rates and vendor lead times.

You can only start to make the right decisions when you have the right data. Hippo’s asset tracking covers everything from historical maintenance and repairs histories to current inventory levels and future PM schedules. Use data-driven decision-making for setting PMs to repair-or-replace decisions throughout the life cycle. 

Communication is key when working with outside vendors, and the last thing you need is an endless game of email or phone tag that leaves everyone confused and frustrated. Hippo CMMS makes sure everyone stays in the loop with the right information. Keep all your vendor contact info right inside Hippo, and email work orders directly to contacts with the information they need to get the job done right and on time.

At the core of your maintenance management program is the work order, which is why relying on old paper and spreadsheet methods causes so many problems. One lost sheet of paper or an out-of-date piece of data causes problems down the whole workflow. 

Hippo CMMS for manufacturing streamlines and strengthens the whole process, eliminating the errors that always creep in when trying to copy data from paper or spreadsheets. With one central database to keep everything safe, secure, and searchable, you can finally start trusting your data.

The further off you can see something coming, the easier it is to prepare. With our plant CMMS software, you’re never caught off guard.  

Schedule PMs for the times that work best for you. Line up inventory so it arrives just when you need it, cutting both expensive rush deliveries and ongoing carrying costs. Easily ensure you have the right resources scheduled for the right jobs. No more expensive surprises. 

Managing equipment is like juggling glass: you can’t afford to let anything fall. Modern CMMS equipment management solutions are the extra set of hands you need to keep your operations up and running safely. 

Best of all, Hippo is easy to use, with a simple, powerful user experience that never slows you down or gets in your way.
