Manufacturing: Porocel Goes From Zero to 60
Maintenance professionals often need to hit the ground running. That was certainly the case when Mike Goldman, Porocel maintenance planner, started his job with the company in late 2017. Mike quickly realized maintenance processes at his location hadn’t kept pace with the company’s rapid growth.
“They were like Indiana Jones running in front of that stone,” Mike explained. “If you’re small company, you can run maintenance off someone’s clipboard. That doesn’t work as things get bigger.”
He discovered the solution on the company’s server: MPulse Gold. And in the next 60 days, he got the Little Rock plant on and using MPulse to effectively and efficiently manage their maintenance workload.

Manufacturing: Turn-Key Data Integration that “Just Works” for Saint-Gobain’s Ceramics
When you work for a large, international corporation, it’s common to get requests for status reports or documents with details of your team’s maintenance work.
Putting together those reports takes time—time that is in short supply. Quick and easy access to the data makes all the difference.
That was the situation facing Saint-Gobain Ceramics HPR’s maintenance department in their Worchester, Massachusetts, facility. At the request of the management team, application developer Gary Potter was tasked with finding a way to integrate data from the company’s SAP ERP system with CMMS data in their MPulse Maintenance Software.
Until recently, getting all your applications to share data required teams of highly skilled technical consultants and weeks or months of work—sometimes with questionable results.
Gary needed a simple solution that was effortless for users and integrated easily with the company’s local network.
Satellite Services: The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) Delivers a Competitive Edge
In the competitive satellite television services industry, one MPulse customer has a strategy—offer the highest quality programming and technology with the most choices at the best value.
With that as its mantra, this top-tier national satellite services provider turned to MPulse to give the company an edge.
This industry leader uses MPulse Maintenance Software to gather real-time data in a way that shows managers a more efficient way to do business. The media calls this phenomenon “the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT),” which describes technology that gathers information directly from multiple devices— computers, vehicles, smartphones, appliances, building automation systems, and production equipment.
Incorporating principles of the IIoT gave this leading satellite services provider’s maintenance team access to real-time data that offers insights into their assets, how they’re working, and what they’re really costing the organization. And that helps keep the company at the top of their very competitive field.
Public Schools: St. Mary’s County Protects Investment in Education
School maintenance isn’t about just taking care of buildings and equipment. Maintenance plays a huge role in the well-being of students, teachers, and administrators. When school districts like St. Mary’s County Public Schools use maintenance software to manage maintenance tasks, they are protecting the taxpayer’s investment in public education. “We have a great team that’s committed to safeguarding the mission of SMCPS, which is to provide the best learning environment that we can,” said Sharon Dvorak, SMCPS Work Order Specialist. “Our goal is to always ensure the comfort and safety of all our students and staff, and provide the best possible outcome for our community. MPulse helps us do just that.”
Software Integration Best Practices: MPulse CMMS/EAM and Financial Applications
Do your employees spend significant time re-entering and maintaining inventory and purchasing information in multiple systems?
Are purchasing details such as requested parts, pricing, and quantities frequently incorrect?
Is there confusion around which vendors to use and how to contact them?
Would maintenance and finance benefit from having a single place to look for complete stocking and purchasing details?
If you answered “yes” to any or all of the above questions, you may want to consider integrating MPulse CMMS/EAM and your financial application or accounting system.
