Product Overview

Maxpanda is dedicated CMMS software accessible via the Web. Unlike most vendors, Maxpanda offers a pay-as-you-go subscription option, where customers can pay by credit card monthly and cancel at any time. There are no contracts or set-up fees. There are also no fees for data backup, product upgrades or software maintenance.

As Maxpanda is SaaS, companies benefit from not having to purchase server hardware or additional software, are less reliance on their IT department, and have a faster implementation process through cloud deployment. The solution also is available for companies with multiple locations.

• Role management (users can be assigned to any of the nine roles that are defined: company admin, editor, internal staff, limited vendor, unlimited vendor, submitter, tenant, viewer, and guests)
• Admins and Editors can approve work orders via the mobile app
• Option to hide Priorities from viewers and submitters in a work order
• Ability to use QR codes on smartphones to look up equipment/location history and add parts to work orders

Implementation/Integration

Customers start with a 15-day free trial period, after which their subscription begins (their monthly fee is automatically paid via credit card). However, Maxpanda offers a four-step process for companies that want a dedicated implementation plan.

• Step 1 – Determining the company’s needs for a CMMS package (i.e. importing existing data, how many users will access solution, etc)
• Step 2 – Reflecting on how the CMMS will work with the company’s current processes and procedures
• Step 3 – Building a team of employees that will primarily be using the solution
• Step 4 – Define goals and objectives for implementation

Maxpanda also offers free data import sevice, where they import the data from an existing CMMS and users won’t have to worry about missing or duplicate data. It also offers training for customers prior to implementation, as well as ongoing training.

About

Maxpanda places a strong emphasis on customer satisfaction – not just from its own customers, but the customers’ internal and external clients. Its CMMS solution is entirely Web-based deployed as a SaaS. Maxpanda is one of the few vendors that offers a pay-as-you-go subscription service (no contracts, no implementation charges, or hidden fees) that the customer can cancel for any reason at any time.

Maxpanda is also non-profit friendly. Non-profits are eligible for up to 20% discounts on specific plans. A portion of the subscription fees goes to the World Wildlife Fund, an organization dedicated to conserving nature.
