Very cool app
Reviewed on 27/01/2019
Pros
I have used the Common Areas basic app over the past few months and it has been helpful in coordinating work with the vendors who I use most. However recently we upgraded to the pro version of Common Areas and wow what a difference. Site inspections have never been easier, I know have all of my property and tenant information instantly accessible on my phone and interactive building plans on each site to top it all off. Very cool app.
Cons
Originally taking pictures on site walks was really slow and it made the process challenging, however that has gotten much better over the past couple of months. It also takes a while to get used to using the system and remembering to check-in, but the email notifications do help with that.

Facility maintenance and running a small business

As a business owner, there are so many things to deal with on a daily basis, so using Common Areas to keep track of our maintenance programs & problems that pop up has reassured me that these important areas are monitored and being taken care of.
Pros
It's easy to use, extremely versatile, and most importantly, my team actually uses it!
Cons
Not really a con, but we haven't integrated it with the production system we use that's specifically built for our industry (wineries), so I feel there's some additional functionality that we're not taking advantage of. This seems possible to do as the team at Common Areas seems very willing to help with integrations as long as the API is accessible.

MEX MaintenanceReasons for Choosing Common Areas
Spreadsheets are great and all, but I had a tough time getting my team to look at it on a regular basis and perform the maintenance tasks on it. Common Areas is much "stickier", employees actually use it.Switched From

MEX has a CMMS solution for the wine industry, but they're expensive, complicated and I don't see my team adopting it. Common Areas allowed us to get as detailed as we'd like to be, rather than as detailed as the CMMS platform requires of us. As we grow, Common Areas can grow with us.Response from Common Areas
Hi Patrick, thank you so much for the awesome review. Please let us know about any additional features that will benefit your innovative wine in cans business.
