Reviews of Azolla
Using IOT to address critical plant malfunction before it has any impact of business
Comments:
Xerox use the IOT sensor functionality of the Azolla CAFM system to help monitor critical assets, like our boilers. A variety of sensors monitor power, vibration and water temperature within the system providing an early warning if there is an issue around the heating system.
The IOT sensor data can generate an email or work order, and automatically assign it to the correct person improving response times while avoiding unnecessary ‘out of hours’ calls to the whole team.
Depending on the source of the problem, a different alert can be raised and sent to the appropriate resource ensuring the problem is resolved before the first employee arrives at site.
This IOT monitoring provides 24/7 visibility and has helped eradicate a critical problem for the facilities team on site. We can track alerts and planned maintenance activities together on one screen prioritising work based on the business need.
Pros:
•Allows me to see what follow-up activity needs my attention on the home screen. •Alerts are in real-time and highly visible with callout contacts linked to the type of work category. •The alerts engine is easy to change and we link sensors so that if more than one item fails it receives a higher priority and notifies the wider team. •IOT Dashboards can be created and blended with our normal CAFM work reporting.
Cons:
None as the solution from Azolla solved our issue.

Azolla F&M
Pros:
easy to use, has some great features especially the IOT. Our engineers picked it up very quickly and within a week 90%+ of their work was captured in the system. Dashboards are easy to create and give a quick snapshot of how the day, week, month is going.
Cons:
Reporting could be a lot better, reports need to be pulled into excel and filtered to get what is required. dashboards show great information however the options could be improved to drill down into the data better. No stock inventory on Azolla so parts are not tracked to the assets and stock usage is not recorded.

Comments:
Azolla helps us to manage the preventative maintenance and reactive work on several locations within Salesforce Dublin. It allows us to ensure work is completed on time, based on a predefined checklist to ensure consistency and
reviewed before payment.
We use a mix of internal and external resources to complete work on site. The Service Level Agreement (SLA) monitoring helps to ensure work is completed based on predefined schedules.
Innovation is a key motivator for a software company, and we really like the innovation associated with the product. The ability to install soap and paper sensors in restroom/toilet areas for example is an easy win. Using occupancy tracking for the building allows us to see what areas of the building are being used and when.
The IOT (Internet of Things) and sensor integration add on elements make the system more scalable and valuable. The ability to match occupancy data with asset usage helps to reduce energy costs and our carbon footprint. This all feeds into our brand and supports our ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) goals.
Pros:
The system is simple and intuitive. The IOT elements help to build out the benefits. There is one system to manage multiple sources of work coming from different systems. The notifications dashboard is really useful for interactive meetings and to ensure nothing is forgotten. The on-boarding process was very efficient, fast and we felt supported throughout.
Cons:
At Salesforce we would like to use the App more.
