Cloud-Based Mobile Technology Makes Maintenance Easier

G Satish, CEO, Connixtwww.Connixt.com/transit info@Connixt.com

A day in the life of 2 Bobs

2

• Too many new Work Orders to be entered• Too much wait time for parts• 500-page instruction/process manual?• Paperwork and information not current• No time to become a technologist• “Let me do my job”

• No time to chase down data• Need KPIs now!• Understand & search through handwritten notes• Audits, reports – too many files to go through• Fleet is expanding, need to scale• “Let me do my job”

There is a paper problem in the industry

• Print, hand-write, interpret, manual entry

• New Work Orders for every task

• Track corrective Work Orders manually

• Ordering and waiting for parts

• Audits and Mandatory reporting

• Scramble, search and collate

• No scalability, no flexibility

3

There is a cost to this problem

Between 38% to 57% of time spent on zero-value added activities like WO management,

chasing paper and parts ordering.

Digitization fixes this problem

5

Digitize inspections, maintenance, SGR, inventory, vehicle procurement & reporting for workshop, field and facilities

Your forms the way you use them, integrated with your back-end systems

Cloud-based – No additional hardware or software

iMarq™ - mobile app suite for the transit industry from Connixt

• Pre-built • Configurable

• Workflows • Reporting

What agencies want

• Translate thousands of pages of goals, procedures and exceptions into

actions and tasks for field / workshop / QC / Procurement

• Capture data once at source and get it into system

• Make the technology easy to adopt and deploy

o Intuitive for the end user

o Integrated with back-end system(s)

o …or where there is no back-end system, manage easily

• Digitize processes & data collection → Automate reporting, save money

Why Cloud-Mobile Tech?

7

• NO hardware and NO Software to buy or maintain

• Integrate with your back-end system…

• …or store and manage from the cloud

processes and instructions• Respond to WO by performing action,

then recording an inspection• Automated corrective & repair WOs• Process improvements, flexibility &

optimization

How cloud-mobile works for Procurement

• Realtime view of status• Exception reporting, tracking• Alerts & exception management• Standardized processes → faster build

times• Process improvement, flexibility &

optimization

• Digitized check-lists, workflows, approvals• Mandatory reports generated• Recorded in system with audit trail• Final inspection processed faster• Process improvements, flexibility &
