What if a simple inspection could prevent a serious safety hazard?

A routine inspection turned into a crisis averted when one facilities manager put HelixIntel’s preventive maintenance tools to the test—and it paid off significantly. His experience underscores the platform’s substantial impact on financial savings and management effectiveness.

Background

Wade Elms, a facilities manager at St. Joseph Toms River under the Diocese of Trenton, previously relied on reactive maintenance, addressing issues only after they occurred. With HelixIntel’s preventive maintenance tools, he shifted to proactive inspections to identify risks before they escalated.

“Our reactive maintenance is so high… we’re usually fixing things after they break. But preventive tasks have saved us from some big problems.” – Wade Elms, St. Joseph Toms River

The Problem: Unseen Playground Hazards

During one of these new preventive maintenance inspections, Wade discovered a significant safety hazard on playground equipment: a sharp piece of steel protruding from a structure. Without HelixIntel’s preventive maintenance setup, this hazard could have led to serious injury and a costly lawsuit.

HelixIntel’s Solution: Proactive Safety Inspections

Wade’s team now conducts regular, preventive inspections with HelixIntel’s platform. This proactive approach allows them to catch hazards early, reduce liability, and ensure the safety of those who use their facilities.

Conclusion

Wade’s experience with HelixIntel demonstrates that the platform not only mitigates risks associated with equipment management but also provides substantial financial benefits.

“We used to do everything with a standard paperwork order. Now, we can manage it all through this platform. I can even warn others about potential issues as a part of our preventive maintenance, saving us time and money.”

HelixIntel improves efficiency, lowers costs, and guarantees safety, making it an essential asset for any facility.
