What do you like best about Guidewheel?

Guidewheel has been an amazing asset to our company, I am able to see real live feed of all the machines running or not running in our plant no matter where I am. I love the fact that I can also assign our maintenance team work assignments through messages directly through Guidewheel. I can now track what work has been done on what machine and how long the downtime was. Guidewheel has also helped our company out by being able to troubleshoot our machines more efficently by finding trends of problems that may be reoccuring and to find the source of why the same problem is happening. I can do this by looking at past work assignments that have been tagged in the Guidewheel Software. I am thrilled that all of our work assignments can now be tracked easily through the software instead of having to much of a paper trail. In our company we have been able to also integrate safety alerts as well as quality checks and inspections. I love the fact that we have multiple meetings together as well as Guidewheel is really willing to listen to what our company needs are and to find a way to intergrate it into the system for us! Overall great service! We have a great connection with the Guidewheel team as well as communication which is our Company is number #1! Highly recommend!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guidewheel?

At this point working with Guidewheel for almost two years now I have no complaints. Everything that we ask of Guidewheel that might benefit the company Guidewheel always come prepared and works hard at making it happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Guidewheel solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are currently working with Guidewheel to intergrate PDF's and Jpeg's into the system so that we can add the remainder of our paperwork as well as to show pictures of before and after any kind of repairs that were performed on the machine and attached them to the actual work assignment. This will benefit our company in a huge way of moving all paperwork and become completely paperless. This will also benefit in being able to make sure that any kind of maintenance is being performed properly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
