The Problem

What we were solving for

Logistics is not their core business, but due to a desire to control the entire customer experience (including delivery), PDM Steel operates a small fleet. They were seeking a simple, hands-free solution to manage it.

They needed access to data without manual entry or complex analysis, and a way to ensure their lean operation could stay up and running.

The Solution

How we helped

The Link-X platform allowed PDM Steel to establish tight PM schedules and a simple system to manage compliance, along with all repairs and maintenance.

By automating the process of taking defects from DVIRs or PMs and working those through the RO process, PDM was able to expedite repairs and reduce downtime. Link-X has also helped PDM have fewer breakdowns and significantly reduce overall fleet OPEX.
