FMX
|
Facilities Management eXpress (FMX) was formed out of a need for facilities managers to more effectively do their job. Early in 2012, two of their founders, both engineers, were conducting an energy conservation project for a local school district. The district needed a way to easily manage their facilities remotely while maximizing energy savings.Their founders began searching for software capable of scheduling preventive maintenance to ensure energy savings, streamlining event scheduling to minimize the running time of HVAC systems, and tracking and responding to heating/cooling complaints to meet the needs of the school staff. Many of the software solutions they explored were feature rich but way too complicated. This unmet need for an easy-to-use but functional system inspired their founders to create a solution of their own. After developing the first version of a tool to enhance the energy project, they realized the benefits that such a solution could provide to a wider customer base — and FMX was born! The FMX team continues to extend the FMX experience to customers to provide a simple solution for solving real world facilities management challenges. | Private Equity / Jul 21, 2025 | |
