More features sound good, but might not always be beneficial for computerized maintenance management software (CMMS). Incorporating ‘as many features as possible’ into CMMS often results in a clunky, hard-to-adopt product, creating a counterproductive loop where feature fatigue is very much a reality. Based on a report by UpKeep on the state of CMMS adoption, only 39 percent of companies use CMMS consistently, and only 6 percent of users employ all of the platform’s functionalities. Click Maint is helping companies avoid this paradoxical trap. The firm’s platform has all the essential CMMS features like reactive and preventive maintenance work order management, asset tracking and maintenance request management. It streamlines vendor and supplier management for tracking third-party services and spare parts procurement while handling inventory to monitor spare parts usage and stock levels. Reporting and KPI tracking provide insights into maintenance history, work order costs, technician performance, downtime and inventory metrics. A mobile app with QR code scanning enables on-the-go access to asset details and work orders—everything expected from a standard CMMS. But where Click Maint differs from other CMMS platforms is through a user-friendly design that facilitates easier adoption and flat learning curve. “While the industry-wide standard setup and rollout period is six months, we make our platform operational within the first 30 days—sometimes even sooner,” says Randall Burrell, president and CEO. “Speed to value is our raison d’être, and we live up to these words by delivering value to our clients as quickly as possible.” The emphasis on speed and efficiency carries over to the software’s user interface, making it simple and intuitive. The software is designed with multiple approaches to accomplish the same task, ensuring easy adoption. “We’ve designed our software so that tasks can be intuitively accomplished in multiple ways, enhancing the user experience,” says Burrell. A first-time user can log into the software and get work done without needing support documentation, though Click Maint still provides it. This ease-of-use is advantageous for mid-market clients who aren’t keen on complex, unwieldy platforms. Click Maint already has around 250 small and medium-sized businesses as customers and is rapidly expanding. Its clients mainly include manufacturing businesses, food and beverage processing, healthcare, retail, restaurant operations, and educational institutions serving both K-12 and higher education. The firm also serves government institutions, nonprofits, religious organizations, and any business or entity with large-scale operations. The rapid expansion and strategic growth have drawn attention from industry leaders and the community, generating significant interest.

Zetane Systems is at the forefront of Canada’s AI transformation. Generative AI is a game-changing innovation, but it is also an extinction-level technology for companies that don’t adopt it. Led by Guillaume Hervé, co-founder and CEO, Zetane is enabling organizations to unlock new capabilities and thrive in the digital age by leveraging AI. From aerospace to education, Zetane has executed over 50 generative AI projects, gaining a unique perspective on how industries can embrace the future without getting bogged down in complexity or cost. While most AI consultancies focus on solving isolated problems through service-heavy engagements, Zetane takes a different approach. It empowers organizations to build lasting AI capabilities from within. “We decided to stop giving people a fish every time they were hungry. Instead, we chose to teach them how to fish,” says Hervé. This philosophy led to the development of ZetaForge Studio, a platform that allows organizations to build and deploy their own AI models using a block-based, visual system—no advanced engineering background required. To help businesses of all sizes keep pace with rapid AI/GenAI advancements, ZetaForge Chat was introduced—a powerful AI-driven workspace equipped with business tools that boost productivity, accelerate timelines and reduce costs. Imagine an intuitive chat interface that connects to your data, answers questions accurately and gives you access to powerful productivity tools—all in one place, no more juggling tabs or logins. The company’s mission is clear; make AI development and deployment intuitive, scalable and secure. ZetaForge is a foundational platform designed to help teams build solutions, while still offering services like consulting, training and deployment support for companies that prefer guidance. Whether clients are exploring AI for the first time or looking to scale mature AI strategies, Zetane gives them control. ZetaForge: Modular, Open Source and Enterprise-Ready ZetaForge stands out with its “Lego block” architecture—an intuitive interface that allows users to build AI pipelines using pre-built, modular blocks. These include functions for AI modeling, data handling, user interaction and deployment. Organizations can either assemble these blocks in a no-code environment or inspect the complete source code behind each for more customization. It’s fully open source and accessible via GitHub, making it a transparent and flexible platform in the AI landscape. ZetaForge solves major pain points in traditional AI workflows. Typically, organizations build AI in one environment but struggle to deploy it in another. It eliminates that hurdle with one-click deployment to any infrastructure—AWS, private cloud, or even on-premise. This makes it ideal for regulated sectors like healthcare or finance, where data control and security are non-negotiable. Each AI block is pre-tested, validated and hardened for security. The platform also facilitates full visual traceability of AI workflows, which not only boosts transparency but helps business units engage more confidently with the tools they’re adopting. This ease of use extends to the newly launched ZetaForge Chat, which enables end-users to interact with AI models seamlessly and securely across any type of data.
