Rolling out a CMMS across a running steel plant is not like installing software in an office. Maintenance can't pause while people learn a new system, and every asset, work order, and spare part already has a history that has to move over cleanly. One steel manufacturer set out to go live in 75 days, without stopping a single production line to do it. Sign up to see how a similar rollout timeline would fit your own plant.
Work orders, asset records, and preventive maintenance schedules were spread across spreadsheets, paper logs, and a legacy system nobody trusted anymore. Technicians had no single place to check what needed attention, so preventive tasks slipped and compliance stayed low, while planners had no reliable data to work from.
The 75-Day Rollout, Phase By Phase
Oxmaint handles asset migration, PM scheduling, and mobile work orders in one guided rollout. Sign up for a free trial to see how a phased implementation would work for your plant, or book a demo to walk through your rollout plan.
Maintenance Operations Before And After
Every team kept working through the rollout because the phases were staged around live production, not against it. By the time the system went fully live on day 75, technicians were already used to mobile work orders and planners already trusted the asset data, so compliance gains showed up immediately instead of months later.
What Made The Rollout Stick
A CMMS rollout usually fails at adoption, not at setup. Technicians revert to old habits if the new system is slower than a paper slip, and planners lose trust if the migrated data is wrong. Staging the phases so mobile work orders arrived only after asset data was already clean, and training happened on real work orders instead of a demo environment, kept the team using the system from week one instead of working around it.
