The world of maintenance management software can be complicated. Founder Marc Castel set out to fix that problem with an aptly-named solution: Fiix.
Fiix solves the problem of unexpected equipment downtime by enabling maintenance teams to make smarter decisions, with a computerized maintenance management system. The software allows companies to perform preventive maintenance and track work orders, inventory, and key performance indicators. “Good maintenance leads to higher productivity and competitiveness,” says Castel.
Since its inception, Fiix has grown from three to 75 employees and now has sales in 90 different markets globally. Its software has been translated into dozens of languages.
To accelerate its speed of growth, however, Fiix needed an injection of working capital. Three years ago, Castel approached Export Development Canada and hasn’t looked back since.
