Challenge	St. Charles Parish, located on the banks of the Mississippi River, Louisiana, was facing challenges in managing over 60,000 assets. The existing processes were inefficient and relied heavily on the memories of employees. The organization was spending money on assets that should have been phased out, but they had no way to track the costs incurred by the assets. They also lacked a preventive maintenance schedule and had no efficient way of generating reports for any information they might want. The Parish was operating reactively rather than proactively, and they needed a system to manage their assets more efficiently and improve their reporting capabilities. Read More
About Customer	St. Charles Parish is located on the banks of the Mississippi River, Louisiana. It is home to approximately 53,000 people and is responsible for the maintenance of over 60,000 assets. The St. Charles Parish public works team is committed to providing the best possible roads and systems to ensure the safety and security of parish residents and their properties. The team recognized the need for change in their existing processes, particularly in terms of asset management and maintenance. They were spending money on assets that should have been phased out and lacked a concrete way to track costs over the life of an asset. They also lacked a preventive maintenance schedule and an efficient way of generating reports. Read More
Solution	To address their challenges, the St. Charles Parish team published an RFP for a Work Order Management and Asset Inventory Software Solution. They ultimately selected AssetWorks Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) and the EAM Connect mobile application. One of the Parish’s main goals for its new EAM system was to create a preventive maintenance plan for their current and future assets. They also wanted to manage their assets more efficiently through technology. With EAM, Parish employees can look up an asset to determine its location and maintenance history, and use that data to determine whether the asset is worth keeping or retiring. The Parish also wanted to improve their reporting capabilities and go paperless with their asset management and maintenance procedures. Read More Log in to view content
