How Limble delivers better safety and faster audits

Bentek is a leading contract manufacturer of power distribution solutions, known for delivering high-quality, reliable products since 1985. Headquartered in San Jose, California, Bentek supports industries from semiconductors to solar with expert design, manufacturing, and logistics services.

Challenge

When Matt Olson joined Bentek as the Director of Facilities and Reliability, safety inspections were being tracked manually, and their operations had limited visibility. Without the right tools in place, Bentek’s approach to OSHA compliance was fragmented and inconsistent:

• Manual recordkeeping – Safety inspections and maintenance records were tracked on paper, leading to incomplete or missing data
• Slow audit preparation – When OSHA requested documentation, gathering safety training records and maintenance logs required time-consuming searches
• Communication gaps – Reporting safety issues relied on a chain of communication through supervisors, causing delays and inconsistent follow-up
• Limited visibility – Without a centralized system, tracking safety trends and ensuring timely completion of safety tasks was nearly impossible

These challenges left Bentek vulnerable to OSHA fines, increased operational risk, and unnecessary downtime.

Solution

Bentek needed a solution to centralize safety management, automate compliance tracking, and improve audit readiness. After evaluating several CMMS platforms, Limble stood out for its ease of use, flexibility, and ability to handle various safety requirements.

During implementation, Olson worked with the Limble team to create a streamlined system for managing safety procedures, training schedules, inspections, and compliance reporting.

• Centralized safety management – All safety-related work orders, planned maintenance, training, and inspections are centralized in one place.
• Automated tracking – Forklift inspections, eyewash station checks, fire extinguisher maintenance, and safety data reviews are now automated PMs.
• Instant issue reporting – Bentek posted QR codes around the facility, allowing employees to report hazards instantly using their phones.
• Improved visibility – Olson uses Limble’s flexible reporting to monitor completion rates and address overdue safety tasks in real-time.

Results

Since implementing Limble, Bentek has transformed its approach to safety and compliance. All safety-related PMs, training records, and inspections are now centralized and easy to access. Operators can quickly report issues using QR codes, and Olson’s team receives real-time notifications, allowing them to respond immediately. Safety tasks are scheduled automatically, ensuring nothing is overlooked and giving Olson complete visibility into his team’s performance.

• Faster OSHA audit preparation – Safety documentation and training records are now easy to retrieve, allowing Bentek to respond quickly to audit requests.
• Quicker hazard response – Reporting through QR codes has eliminated communication delays and streamlined issue resolution.
• Complete visibility into safety tasks – All inspections and safety PMs are tracked in Limble, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
• Increased team efficiency – Automating safety tasks and tracking has reduced the time spent managing compliance, freeing up Olson and his team to focus on proactive improvements.

Beyond compliance, Limble has strengthened operational efficiency, boosted team morale, and improved asset reliability. With greater visibility and accountability, Olson recognized a team member for completing 100% of work orders on time — a level of insight that wasn’t possible before Limble. The ability to track downtime patterns and maintenance trends has helped Olson identify root causes and improve overall equipment performance. Real-time data on work order completion has also made biweekly KPI meetings more focused and actionable.

Limble has given Bentek the tools to strengthen safety, improve compliance, and increase overall efficiency. With streamlined reporting, automated tracking, and real-time insights, Olson’s team is more responsive and better prepared for audits. Limble has simplified safety management and helped Bentek build a stronger, more accountable maintenance culture.
