What Antoine Said

“UpKeep is simple—and it continues to improve. I started with no CMMS experience, learned through UpKeep University, and now it's how we manage everything from spare parts to PMs. My team and my manager are happy with it, and so am I.”

Why It Matters

Antoine was brought into Addison HVAC specifically to lead the rollout of UpKeep—and he’s been optimizing maintenance ever since. With a background in Navy aviation electronics, Antoine blends military-grade planning with day-to-day maintenance coordination for a team of six.

He’s also a voice in UpKeep’s product evolution—regularly suggesting features that have made it into the platform.
