CMMS & Maintenance Management Software

A CMMS, or computerized maintenance management system, is software that centralizes work orders, preventive maintenance schedules, asset records, parts inventory, and technician activity in one system. CMMS platforms replace spreadsheets and paper logs and give maintenance teams real-time visibility into the health of their equipment. Modern CMMS software also includes mobile access, integrations with ERP and IoT sensors, and AI-driven automation.

A CMMS focuses on day-to-day maintenance operations: work orders, preventive maintenance, technician scheduling, and parts inventory. An enterprise asset management (EAM) system covers the full asset lifecycle, including procurement, capital planning, depreciation, and end-of-life. Most modern platforms, including UpKeep, blend CMMS and EAM capabilities so one system can run frontline maintenance work and longer-term reliability strategy.

Asset operations management is the practice of running maintenance, safety, reliability, and asset data on one connected platform rather than in separate systems. It extends traditional CMMS by adding IoT sensor data, environment health and safety reporting, fleet maintenance, and analytics. The goal is fewer silos between teams, better visibility into asset health, and faster response when equipment changes condition or fails.

UpKeep is an asset operations platform built around a mobile-first CMMS (computerized maintenance management system). Teams use it to create and track work orders, schedule preventive maintenance, and manage asset history across every site. The platform also includes UpKeep Safety for EHS compliance, UpKeep Learn for training built from your own procedures, Edge sensors that monitor equipment condition, and Nova, an AI assistant that creates work orders, builds custom apps, and flags issues on its own. Over 4,000 companies use UpKeep to reduce downtime, extend asset life, and keep teams safe.

AI in a modern CMMS automates work that used to require manual effort. Sensor data triggers work orders before equipment fails. Schedules adjust automatically based on technician availability and asset criticality. Safety incidents convert into preventive actions without rekeying data. UpKeep's AI, called Nova, generates work orders from real-time data, surfaces patterns across thousands of assets, and recommends actions before small issues become unplanned downtime.

UpKeep's core Maintenance product is a full CMMS that includes work order management, preventive maintenance scheduling, asset tracking, parts and inventory, mobile access for technicians, and AI-driven automation through Nova. UpKeep also offers separate products that run on the same platform: EHS for safety reporting, Fleet for vehicle maintenance, Edge for IoT condition monitoring, LMS for frontline learning, and Studio for building no-code custom apps. All products share one data foundation, one set of permissions, and one mobile experience.

UpKeep is the AI-native CMMS and asset operations platform. Three things set it apart from CMMS alternatives like Limble, MaintainX, and Fiix. First, the platform extends beyond core CMMS into safety, fleet, IoT sensors, learning, and a service provider marketplace, so teams can run more of asset operations from one system. Second, AI is foundational to the product rather than a feature add-on. Third, the mobile experience is built for technicians working in the field, not office users.

More than 4,000 companies use UpKeep, including Unilever, Chevron, Caterpillar, and McDonald's. UpKeep customers span manufacturing, energy, food service, fleet operations, education, healthcare, and multi-site facilities management. The platform supports both single-site teams getting off paper and spreadsheets for the first time and global enterprises managing thousands of assets across hundreds of locations.

UpKeep pricing starts at $24 per user per month for the core Maintenance product, which includes work order management, preventive maintenance, asset tracking, mobile access, and Nova AI. Higher tiers add advanced features like multi-site management, integrations, custom analytics, and single sign-on. UpKeep also offers separate products for safety reporting (EHS), fleet maintenance, IoT condition monitoring (Edge), and frontline learning (LMS). All plans include a free trial with no credit card required.
