The great secret of successful companies on the market today is to make their decisions strategically and based on real data. Process reliability, punctuality in contract performance, and expense optimization are fundamental to taking a company to the top level. This is only possible with efficient management.
Of all company departments, we will highlight maintenance. Often seen as an expense area, it can be the key to the success of your processes and the profitability of your business. Poorly controlled assets can bring huge losses to the company, in addition to interfering with quality certification processes. When all data is well controlled, maintenance managers are able to work in a more structured and reliable way.
This maintenance control and management can be done in an automated way and bring enormous benefits to your business. To exemplify for you, we talked to Michel Oliveira da Silva, who is the maintenance manager at Camargo Cia. de Embalagens. He told us how maintenance management is with Engeman® and how the partnership with our solution is essential for the success of his business. Follow this Success Case!

How did Camargo Embalagens find out about Engeman®?
In our conversation with Michel Oliveira, he told us that he met Engeman® many years ago, in the first company where he worked 22 years ago. He has followed the entire evolution of the software which is always updated to meet the demands of our customers. In all the companies he goes through, he presents Engeman® because he knows the need for specialized software for the success of management.
Arriving at Camargo Embalagens, he realized that the company worked with industrial software that had a maintenance module, but that it did not cover maintenance so specifically. Therefore, he told us that he presented the company with the simplicity of performing maintenance management with Engeman®, and Camargo Embalagens soon acquired the software to manage its processes. “I presented Engeman® to the company because it did not have a specific maintenance management system” Michel told us.
Why did you decide to try our software?
Michel told us that today he has the same manager as when he met Engeman® many years ago. Your manager, like him, understands well that in the area of maintenance, you need improvements to evolve. Therefore, they adopted Engeman® because they knew they needed specialized software to optimize and enhance their results.
“We know that in the maintenance area, you need to evolve with improvements, and without data, you cannot measure them. It gets too vague, it’s impossible to improve something you don’t measure. Engeman® gives me the conditions to measure the consumption of materials, man-hours, labor, material cost, and material volume. It is essential to have an easy, malleable system that molds to your way of working. Just feed it daily with information to have a reliable history. One of its facilities is the number of reports and the possibility of any change, with affordable customization costs. The software makes our work much easier” says Michel.
What was the difficulty before the implementation of Engeman®?
“We had no maintenance management problem, but it was all done in spreadsheets. But the use of spreadsheets is like a rope, for you to hang yourself with it is easy. You become a slave to it. It has a large database, but you can’t use it much. Or you can use it, but it’s not reliable. A spreadsheet, no matter how well structured it is, prevents register duplication, the change of a balance manually to both positive and negative, it is a superficial control”.
Michel told us that the company had other management systems with a maintenance module, but that these modules, although well structured, did not serve the maintenance department so comprehensively. The details were not as great as Engeman® offers. “Through Engeman®, you can do other controls, but the focus is on maintenance management, so it is much more malleable to work with. With the use of the SSW module, the company will use even more of the benefits of Engeman® so that work orders are opened directly in the software.”
Difficulties in implementation
When you purchase software, there is a great concern about how it will be implemented. Problems with this implementation can make your company lose history or even not use all the features due to a lack of adequate support. In our conversation with Michel, he told us about how this process of implementing the software was there at Camargo Embalagens.
“The company’s support assists and understands all the company’s needs to help. The day-to-day experience is great. Engeman supports us in all needs and doubts. The system is very malleable, and for any need, we can adapt to it” says Michel.
Results with Engeman®
Properly managing the maintenance department requires specific knowledge and tools that help directors organize histories and equipment. In order for there to be complete management of a company, it is essential that managers implement adequate maintenance control software.
Knowing this, we asked Michel about the results of Camargo Embalagens with Engeman® use. He pointed out:
- Receipt of periodic alerts for preventive maintenance, and control of automatic, periodic, and cumulative generation schedules;
- The work orders and work to be performed are no longer stuck in the control of Excel as before.
- It is possible to evaluate the consumption history and adjust the requisition of materials, maximum and minimum stock, and with this, we achieve a reduction in machine downtime, as there is no longer a lack of material due to inadequate stock control.
Like Camargo Embalagens, your company can optimize its processes and be more competitive on the market. The control of your maintenance department cannot be only in Excel spreadsheets where you gather data that you cannot even measure properly and with the reliability that a successful business requires.
