Welcome back to another instalment of our series: Fiix Customer Voices, where we’ll be showcasing Fiix CMMS and maintenance stories from users just like you. With adopting sustainable practices in mind, here’s an insightful story from agri-manufacturer DLG Group.
With dozens of production sites across Denmark, DLG Group serves as the country’s largest producer of agricultural feedstock and is a significant producer of natural vegetable oil. Read on to discover how DLG Group implemented Fiix CMMS across 9 sites to improve MTBF rates and put them on track to achieve a 10% improvement in uptime and maintenance efficiency within a year.
Hitting these maintenance KPIs has brought in significant, sustainable ROI, helping to ensure production resources don’t go to waste and keeping essential food production running smoothly. 🌱
