Caglia Environmental is a multi-facility waste and recycling organization based in Fresno, California. Its operations include the Cedar Avenue Recycling and Transfer Station (CARTS), which houses the company’s flagship materials recovery facility (MRF), along with a construction and demolition (C&D) line, a concrete and asphalt rock plant, fire detection and suppression systems, and a growing fleet of remote compactors across Fresno and Madera counties.

With diverse operations and a high volume of equipment ranging from conveyors and optical sorters to loaders and garbage trucks, Caglia\u2019s maintenance needs are complex and constantly evolving. Corey Stone, Processing Manager, leads efforts to modernize and streamline those operations \u2013 starting with a fresh approach to preventive maintenance and asset management.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before Limble, Caglia Environmental was stuck in what Corey calls the “reactive spiral.” Reactive maintenance led to inefficient operations, leaving no time for preventive maintenance (PM). Missed PMs resulted in breakdowns, which in turn required reactive maintenance, ultimately driving operational inefficiencies. The maintenance team ran 10-hour shifts, six days a week, with some mechanics working Sundays just to keep the MRF operational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were juggling paperwork orders, Google forms, Microsoft forms, and Excel. Everything came back to manual data entry. It was really cumbersome and tasks could easily fall through the cracks.\u201d<\/h6><\/div>\n

The lack of a centralized system made it challenging to track work orders and maintain visibility. Without clear technician accountability and reliable inventory data, the team missed opportunities to effectively manage resources, resulting in increased delays and costs. Consolidating these processes into a single platform promised greater operational efficiency and significant cost-saving potential.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Caglia evaluated their options for a comprehensive maintenance and asset management platform, but most systems felt too rigid or industry-specific. Limble stood out for its flexibility, allowing Corey and his team to tailor the platform to their unique workflows and evolve it over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou talk to a salesperson and they show you all the glitz and the glam, saying this will solve all your problems. It’s like, is this too good to be true? We’ve been really fortunate that it is that good. Limble has checked all the boxes and delivered on their promise of what the software is going to do.\u201d<\/h6><\/div>\n

To bring Limble to life across the operation, Corey worked with the Limble team to create a strategic, phased rollout approach:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • \n \"Icon\"\n Start with a trusted pilot group: His high-performing MRF mechanics \u2013 already familiar with past software experiments \u2013 became the testing ground.<\/span>\n <\/li>\n
  • \n \"Icon\"\n Take it one step at a time: With Limble\u2019s support, they started by building a detailed asset hierarchy, then layered on PM schedules, work order templates, and finally, automated parts management.<\/span>\n <\/li>\n
  • \n \"Icon\"\n Empower with data: Every technician was assigned a unique login on a company-issued phone. With personal dashboards and accountability, adoption came naturally.<\/span>\n <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
