Are you ready for the Fiix primetime spotlight 🤩INTERVIEW

My colleague @Marc Cousineau is looking for some volunteers to share their CMMS experiences and insights for an upcoming campaign to help other maintenance teams who are researching Fiix.I know how many experts we have in our community so I am hoping we can get some takers to help him out. It’s pretty simple, he’ll ask you 2-3 questions and will record the session which should take about 15 minutes...unless you have A LOT of stories you want to share with him, then he’ll keep the camera rolling to capture it all 🎬 🎥 💥Respond to this thread by May 15👇 and he’ll reach out to you directly to book something based on your availability...and thank you so much for agreeing to help your peers begin to understand what is possible with Fiix 💙.

Now, it’s a regular part of life— we buy, we use, and then we throw away. This is so common that we have entire waste management systems with teams of people and machinery dedicated to our garbage. This used to be my job. I would advise the public on where to put items when they were ready to throw it out. I would pick through big, black garbage bags on gruelling hot days, dissecting, weighing, and sorting what people threw out. I helped divert hazardous and electronic waste from enter

Glad to Be Here!

I’ve recently started with the City of D’Iberville parks and recreation department. As my guys began coming to me with concerns about the paper process they are using currently. So, I started searching the net for ways to streamline our process. With mowers and vehicles and equipment that needs constant maintenance they were starting get piled up with paper. As I began to dig through the program it seemed to be a great fit for what we were wanting. I’m very excited at the outlook for our department with Fixx on our side! Thanks for allowing even free users so much functionality! It’s greatly appreciated!
