FMX Metrics: Full Series Recap

In this series, we covered five critical maintenance metrics that every facility leader should track. Work order completion time, equipment downtime costs, deferred maintenance backlog, department performance reporting, and repair versus replace cost analysis. Together, these metrics help you plan smarter, act faster, and prove your value across your organization.

Let’s talk about speed, not race cars or delivery drones. I’m talking about work order completion time. When repairs take too long, your team falls behind, people lose trust, and small issues become big problems.

FMX tracks every work order in real time – who’s handling it, how long it’s taking, and where it’s getting stuck. It’s like a fitness tracker, but for your maintenance department. It’s time to boost service speed and get ahead of that backlog. FMX gives you the tools and the data to make it happen.

When equipment goes down, your budget goes with it. Whether it’s a failed HVAC, a broken fleet vehicle, or a downed generator, downtime costs money, productivity, and credibility.

With FMX, you can track every minute of downtime and understand what it’s really costing you by asset, by site, and by month. FMX helps you identify failure patterns, prioritize preventative maintenance, and justify budget tasks with real data.

What happens when that repair keeps getting bumped and bumped again and again? That’s how you build a deferred maintenance backlog.

Delayed maintenance leads to sixty five percent more asset failures. And it doesn’t just increase risk, it multiplies cost. With FMX, you can track and quantify your backlog so you know where to focus and how to make the case for funding. Make your backlog a trail you can actually conquer.

If you had to prove your team’s impact in ten seconds, could you? That’s why performance reporting matters. It’s not just for metrics. It’s for momentum.

FMX gives you clear, actionable data, including how responsive your team is, what’s overdue, and who’s at capacity. No guesswork, no spreadsheets, just visibility.

Do you keep repairing that old rooftop unit, or is it time to invest in something new?

FMX tracks every repair, costs, frequency, and downtime, so you can decide when it’s time to stop fixing and start planning. Use the data to build your capital plan or at the very least, stop overfeeding that money pit.

Let’s recap. In this series, we covered five critical maintenance metrics that every facility leader should track. Work order completion time, equipment downtime costs, deferred maintenance backlog, department performance reporting, and repair versus replace cost analysis. Together, these metrics help you plan smarter, act faster, and prove your value across your organization.

FMX ties it all together. So you’re not just putting out fires, you’re building a better future.
