UC Riverside, a public land-grant research university in Riverside, California, was struggling with their maintenance program and with reporting key information back to the state of California. This was largely due to the fact that much of their asset data was manually collected and stored in binders on campus.
To solve this problem, they turned to FAMIS 360. Now, the university utilizes various FAMIS 360 modules and functionalities to assist with their maintenance and reporting, including:
- Work order module: Used by technicians to report labor and time.
- Projects module: Used to record time and disseminate work to maintenance crews.
- Schedules module: Used for the preventive maintenance program
- Asset module: Used to extract asset data and report back on data like warranty information and asset life expectancy.
- The bulk uploader tool: Used to help report back assets to the state in order to be eligible for future state funding for capital projects or deferred maintenance.
Alan Siero, Assistant Director of System Administration and Client Services, explains in the video below how UC Riverside utilizes FAMIS 360 today.
