It depends on what your business does but the benefits that are normally achieved with MEX include:
MEX is not complicated to set up in anyway. The installation process is straight forward and your system will be up and running in no time. What will determine the setup time frame is the volume of information you want to store in MEX.
It could take anywhere from 4 hours to 6 months and it is important to not rush an implementation set up as you will want to get it right the first time. Remember that if you set up MEX correctly there’s no reason to assume you won’t have a successful implementation.
We recommend using the latest Windows (2012) and SQL Server (2008 or later), either Windows 7, 8 Á 8.1 or 10 operating systems, a multicore CPU and 4GB of RAM and more, and any browser that supports HTML 5.
MEX is now fully html 5 based, making it ideal for use on the cloud. Whether it is on your own server or through the MEX Data Hosting service. MEX can help you formulate an effective cloud solution that will suit your needs.
You certainly can. MEX has a range of data import tools and services at its disposal. From an elementary level through to the application itself or weather it’s our consultants carrying out a full import into the system based on data that you provide us.
Whether it’s a conversion from an old CMMS to brand new data, MEX can import the data you need to get your CMMS off the ground.
No you do not. MEX is designed to be simple and easy to use. The best approach is to put in place a set of data entry procedures that dictate exactly how you want data to be entered into MEX. However, you should think about having an administrator in place to monitor the system and to ensure that users are following your procedures.
You certainly can. We have also built the MEX Stores module that is sold separately from the base MEX system. MEX Stores provides you with an inventory management platform that can handle stock levels, allow you to carry out stock takes, create purchase orders, requisition parts and report on your inventory.
The Regions module is used in MEX to segment available data through individual restrictions. This allows users from particular sites to only see the Assets, Work Orders, PM Schedules and other data that is a part of their respective site.
Do note that this is an additional module of MEX and will need to be purchased separately from the MEX system.
MEX can be used on computers that use Windows 10 and later operating systems right across to Macs. Any device that uses a browser that is html 5 compatible will be able to use the full MEX System. That means that MEX V15 extends right across to iPad’s and tablets as well.
The MEX Mobile app is also available on Android, iOS and Windows UWP platforms. Any users planning to use MEX on site will benefit from the offline functionality and barcoding features of the robust app.
Electronic Forms have been added to MEX to help you use Permits and other documents inside the MEX application. Standard to MEX, users can import form templates and attach usable forms to Work Orders in MEX.
MEX has a comprehensive security system at your disposal. How secure your system is really depends on how much security you wish to enforce.
MEX has the ability to dictate levels of security to determine what each individual has access to within MEX. There are a number of predefined security groups available that you can use or build security groups around.
MEX works off a concurrent licensing model. Meaning if you hold a five user licence, then only 5 individuals can be logged into MEX at the same time. This does not limit how many users you have set up to use the system. Understanding this will help you determine how many user licences you need to effectively use MEX. Simply ask yourself, at a peak time in your operation, how many users do I need to have access to MEX and perform their jobs comfortably in the process?
For more questions in relation to the licensing model and also for licensing associated with other MEX products, please contact the MEX sales team at sales@mex.com.au
