Fire-Fighting to Consistency with Sockeye’s CMMS Bolt-On
How do you get consistent planning and scheduling without overwhelming technicians used to doing things ‘their way’?
Scheduling Problems:
Fire-Fighting Maintenance Management
Laissez-Faire Schedules & Delayed Production
You aren’t scheduling work consistently, you are falling behind on planning, you never know what’s coming up or what was missed each week, and production is getting disrupted.
How do you get consistent planning and scheduling without overwhelming technicians used to doing things ‘their way’?
Why does Sockeye have a 98% user adoption rate?
Sockeye Trial – 1 Hour Training
Easy Transition for Laissez-Faire Maintenance Teams
Sockeye was founded for user adoption and consistent, minimal-effort scheduling.
Sockeye’s live free trial offers you a simple, low-risk method to verify that laissez-faire maintenance teams will adopt Sockeye and consistent scheduling.
Customized to meet your needs
Missing ready-to-schedule status? No problem!
Will Sockeye work with the data we have?
Not having statuses indicating that a work order is ready to schedule (planned and kitted) in your CMMS isn’t an issue.
Sockeye is designed to adapt to the conditions on the ground and can simply import all work orders for the day or week selected. Simply select the work you want to schedule and click ‘schedule’ from the Sockeye backlog.
Plant Manager
“Tell me when you want to asset available”
Production Invisible Schedule
Limited visibility into the latest schedule means it’s hard for production and maintenance to coordinate production and maintenance schedules.
Without consistent scheduling, production won’t know when the asset should be available, causing ongoing delays.
Your ability to measure, improve, and check the latest will be dependent on email and phones. Data will get missed, opportunities lost, and reliability decreased.

Sockeye’s simple design makes it perfect for green teams transitioning to consistent schedules.
Planner/Schedulers build the weekly schedule in minimal time, and Supervisors set the daily schedule. Production coordinates asset availability, and leadership can easily view, track, and implement data-driven improvements.

How does the trial work?
Simply, add your CMMS backlog and technician shift patterns to Sockeye’s Excel Template.
From there, our team will set up Sockeye for you using file-based integration, which uses Excel as the data connector between Sockeye and your CMMS. The average setup time is 2 weeks.
Lastly, join a 1-hour training session and start using Sockeye. Weekly review calls ensure everything is on track while making any requested changes.
You’ll be supported at each step by former planner/schedulers based in North America.
