Maxpanda At A Glance

Good: Tech support built right into the dashboard, unlimited number of users access, affordable pricing plans with robust CMMS features.
Bad: No on-premise deployment available.
Bottom Line: Robust and scalable CMMS solution to help organizations optimize their maintenance operations.

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.

Because Maxpanda is cloud-based, 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.

Features

In addition to work order management, asset management, inventory management, and preventative maintenance, Maxpanda offers these following features:

  • Automated alerts
  • Customizable tasks / checklists
  • Guests can create/edit work orders via Guest Service portal
  • Upload manual and documents
  • Inspections and reports
  • Notifications of past-due tasks
  • Labor and material costs management
  • Contractor and vendor management/invoicing
  • Property improvement initiatives
  • 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 GoMAX 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

Maxpanda also offers integration with other systems via its API solution. Those systems include accounting, project management and marketing, to name a few. This feature is available on all plans except for the Starter plan.

Implementation/Integration

Customers start with a 7-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 service, 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.

Customer Service & Support

Customers will get a dedicated technical support portal that is built in the CMMS dashboard. Through this portal, users can submit support tickets. Customers also can call or email their dedicated Maxpanda Product Manager during business hours.

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.

Our Hotels thank you!

on 2019-01-14 11:19:07

We are happy with the service of Maxpanda maintenance work order software. The software has met our needs as we grow. The maintenance work order software is adaptable and great for scheduling among other things. Excellent customer support.

We have used a few hotel maintenance software but they don't suite out needs. Maxpanda hotel maintenance software is the only software that fits all our needs. The reporting build in, the schedule work order, the work order calendar and the unlimited number of users for a flat fee makes is perfect for our organization.

This hotel maintenance software is user friendly and flexible. We have found the customer support service to be very helpful and responsive in getting issues taken care of quickly. The help files and videos were also very helpful when setting up. Awesome hotel maintenance software. I have been using Maxpanda work order management app for a year now and have never been disappointed by the software. When I have problems, the live chat is always online to help promptly.

Very impressed and look forward to upgrading my subscription. The user friendly interface makes it easy to use and operate.

Best CMMS so FAR

on 2019-01-14 11:07:17

We had a little problem doing some tasks with Maxpanda’s work order software. We contacted the support through live chat and they were very helpful. They told us what to do and how to do it when setting our work order software.

Maxpanda order management software is a great management tool. New features are constantly added and the order management software is always up to date. It also has a guest portal for staff and tenants that don't need accounts to submit work order. The order management software calendar is also a fantastic feature.

The customer support was superb. It’s like they are waiting for you to contact them. The response time was very fast and their team is always ready to help out with any problem you have. Truly love GoMAX!, the mobile maintenance software that comes with the main app.

Amazing software for the cost vs. features

on 2018-06-01 10:14:15

The training guides that comes with the software makes everything easy. Maxpanda is very easy to learn, and people don't need lots of training to get started. Maxpanda allows users to schedule work orders. This is important for users who are not always on seat or users that easily forget. They can easily schedule work orders to make sure everything is done when it is needed to be done. They bring value with each new update. Even if you don't use some of the new features at times, it's nice to know they are constantly improving their product. The live training made it easy for our employees to get used to the software. It has also improved our company's productivity. The mobile phone App is unique. It keeps you up to date and makes sure you don't lose any work orders. Maxpanda has no upfront cost which is really nice. Very happy with the fast turnaround response time. Great mobile app (Android, iPhone, iPad). It's a great investment and a huge alternative to other management softwares. It meets the budget for software compared with other softwares. What I love most about Maxpanda is the push notifications for new work orders. Getting a push notification when you have a work order is a great feature. It makes sure you never miss any work order. The ability to access Maxpanda on desktop or smart phone or tablet makes it a unique software. This means you can do whatever you want to do wherever you want to do it.
