What is HeadCount?

HeadCount is a cutting-edge, cloud-based Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) designed to streamline maintenance operations, asset management, and reporting for businesses of all sizes. Our platform offers intuitive tools to manage maintenance tasks efficiently, ensuring operational continuity and reliability.

How secure is HeadCount?

Security is our top priority. HeadCount employs state-of-the-art encryption for data in transit and at rest, ensuring your information is protected against unauthorized access. Our cloud infrastructure is hosted on secure servers with robust physical and electronic safeguards, and we regularly undergo security audits and compliance checks to uphold the highest standards of data protection.

Can I restrict access to sensitive information within HeadCount?

Absolutely. HeadCount supports customizable user roles and permissions, allowing administrators to define access levels for each user, ensuring sensitive information is only accessible to authorized personnel. 

How is HeadCount priced?

At HeadCount, we believe in fair and transparent pricing that matches your specific needs and usage. Unlike traditional models that charge per user, our pricing is based on the number of assets you manage or the extent of your use of our system. This means you can onboard your entire team, from technicians to management, without worrying about escalating costs per user. Our goal is to provide you with all the power and features of HeadCount, with a plan that reflects your actual usage and needs. 

Why do we charge based on assets or system usage?

We've chosen this pricing model for several reasons:

- Flexibility: Facilities of all sizes have unique needs. Our model allows small and large facilities alike to benefit from HeadCount's full range of features without being penalized for the size of their team.

- Scalability: As your business grows or your asset management needs change, HeadCount scales with you. Add more assets or increase your usage, and your plan adjusts accordingly.

- Inclusivity: We want every team member to leverage the power of HeadCount without barriers. This approach encourages widespread adoption and utilization across your organization, maximizing the benefits of our CMMS. 

What if my needs change?

HeadCount is designed to grow with you. Our flexible pricing model means you can easily move between tiers as your needs evolve—whether that means managing more assets or scaling back. Our team is always here to help you assess your usage and make adjustments as needed. 

 

Are there any additional fees?

Transparency is key to our pricing policy. Any potential additional fees, such as for premium support or additional integrations, are clearly outlined upfront. There are no hidden costs—you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for.

When might HeadCount not be the best option for you?

While HeadCount is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of businesses and industries, we understand that it might not be the perfect fit for everyone. Here are a few scenarios where HeadCount might not be the best choice:

 

- Preference for On-Premises Solutions: If your organization has strict regulatory requirements or policies that mandate on-premises data storage and management, HeadCount, being a cloud-based solution, might not align with your operational model.

 

- Highly Specialized Industries: While HeadCount is versatile and customizable, there are instances where businesses in highly specialized fields require niche functionalities that are beyond our current scope. If your operations demand unique, industry-specific features that we do not offer, a specialized CMMS might serve you better.

 

- Limited Internet Connectivity: As a cloud-based platform, HeadCount requires reliable internet access to function effectively. Organizations with operations in remote areas where internet connectivity is inconsistent may encounter challenges in using our system to its full potential.

 

- Budget Constraints: We strive to offer competitive pricing, but we understand budget constraints can be a deciding factor. Startups or small businesses with limited financial resources might find it challenging to commit to a subscription-based service. However, we encourage exploring our different pricing tiers to find an option that might suit your budget.

 

- Simplicity Over Features: Some organizations might prefer a more straightforward, less feature-rich tool for simple task management. If your maintenance needs are minimal, and you're looking for a basic tool without the advanced analytics, reporting, and customization options that HeadCount offers, a simpler solution might be more appropriate.

 

- Integration Requirements: If your business relies heavily on existing systems that require complex integrations, it's essential to verify compatibility. Although HeadCount integrates with various third-party applications, there may be specific tools with which integration is not yet available.

 

Our Priority is Your Satisfaction:

 

We believe in making sure that our clients benefit significantly from our solution. If you're uncertain whether HeadCount is the right fit for your needs, we encourage you to reach out to us. Our team can provide a comprehensive assessment and even recommend alternative solutions if we're not the best match for your specific requirements. Ensuring you have the right tools to succeed is our top priority. 

How do I transition from paper to HeadCount CMMS?

Step 1: Planning and Setup

- Understand HeadCount Features: Familiarize yourself with all the features HeadCount offers. Identify how each feature can improve or replace your current paper-based processes.

- Define Your Structure: Plan how you will organize your assets, maintenance schedules, work orders, and reports within HeadCount. Consider creating a hierarchical structure that mirrors your organization's real-world setup.

- Initial System Setup: Use HeadCount to set up your organizational structure, including locations, departments, and asset categories. This foundational step is crucial for a well-organized CMMS.

 

Step 2: Creating Your Data

- Enter Initial Data: Begin by entering critical data into HeadCount. Start with core assets, including their details, maintenance history (if applicable), and any preventive maintenance schedules.

- Build Your Inventory: Add assets into the system and all relevant details.

- Configure Users and Permissions: Set up user accounts for your team, defining roles and permissions based on their responsibilities. This ensures that users have access to the features they need while protecting sensitive data.

 

Step 3: Training and Support

- Conduct Training Sessions: Even starting fresh, it’s vital that all users are trained on how to use HeadCount effectively. Provide comprehensive training that covers daily operations, reporting, and troubleshooting.

- Develop Support Channels: Establish clear channels for users to seek help, whether through internal support teams or HeadCount’s customer service. Make sure users know where to go with questions or issues.

 

Step 4: Implementation and Going Live

- Soft Launch: Consider starting with a less critical department or a small set of assets to refine your processes and training in a controlled environment.

- Full Roll-Out: Once confident in the system and user readiness, extend HeadCount usage across your entire organization.

- Monitor and Adjust: Collect feedback from users and monitor system performance. Use this information to optimize workflows, adjust training, and improve data entry practices.

 

Step 5: Continuous Improvement

- Regular Reviews: Schedule regular reviews of your CMMS usage to identify opportunities for improvement or additional training needs.

- Stay Updated on Features: Keep abreast of new features or updates from HeadCount that could enhance your maintenance management practices.

- Engage with Users: Encourage ongoing feedback from your team to learn how HeadCount can better serve their needs and streamline your maintenance management processes.

 

Key Considerations:

- Initial Data Quality: Ensure the data you enter initially is accurate and comprehensive. The effectiveness of CMMS depends significantly on the quality of the data it houses.

- User Buy-In: Engage with your team from the beginning. Their buy-in is crucial for a successful transition and for adopting new processes.

- Iterative Process: View the transition as an ongoing process rather than a one-time event. Continuous improvement is key to leveraging the full potential of HeadCount.
