People's Choice Award Results
This year's competition featured four outstanding finalists. Gold, Silver, and Bronze placements below reflect the final People's Choice vote results.
🥇 GOLD — Asset Analytix
Asset Analytix delivers the 360Navigator SaaS platform, a comprehensive reliability and continuous improvement suite designed specifically for maintenance and asset management & reliability leaders. The Asset Onboarding & Reliability Readiness module, the award-winning solution, addresses one of the most persistent pain points in reliability engineering: the chaotic, costly, and error-prone onboarding & handover of new assets from CapEx projects into operations.
This module transforms raw asset lists into fully governed, CMMS-ready systems with Right First Time readiness. It bridges the gap between project and reliability teams by automating the process from ingestion to export, intelligently leveraging existing BIM & CMMS data, cross-project commonalities, and our extensive Content & Asset Strategy Library to deliver asset-specific PM strategies, optimized spares, and complete CMMS export packages — eliminating manual rework, accelerating timelines, and ensuring assets start strong and stay reliable.
Asset Analytix was recognized for its unique ability to integrate and leverage BIM & CMMS data as an active partner in onboarding, its governed Command Center for end-to-end visibility and control, its mobile Walk-down App for field verification and warranty capture, and its automated export that removes up to 30% of traditional effort lost to manual loading and validation.
