Legacy CMMS to FixAhead, migrated for free

Fill the asset template with your old system's asset list, or our support team loads it for you.

When a legacy CMMS still makes sense

Your current system may still be right if you have deep ERP integrations or large compliance records you can't move. The same goes for rules tied to one vendor's templates.

Give every technician their own login

When you pay by assets, users have no limit, so nobody shares one login for PMs.

How to get your maintenance team to use the CMMS
The Users list: Anthony, electrician, 20.00; Neil, plumber, 23.00; Matt Reynolds, HVAC technician, 16.00, with the job Neil carries and the Technician Workload.

Make a work order in one guided wizard

Enter its name, due date, asset, and issue first, then its technician and procedure.

Anyone can report a problem, with no login

Tenants, guests, and floor workers scan a QR code. You triage on a Kanban board.

See issue tracking
The issues board's Reported column with Hot water temperature's menu open on Create Work Order.

See all of an asset on one page

Each asset holds its QR code, documents, custom fields, and maintenance history.

Questions about leaving an older CMMS

What about regulatory compliance?

Each asset keeps its maintenance history, and each work order its timeline, with the technician and each date and time. Custom fields and procedures can record what a requirement asks for.

Can I bring my history?

The import loads assets and procedures. Check what your old system's export holds, and keep that file.
