Maintenance and production in one app

Cut downtime and run your whole floor from one app.

Built for manufacturers who need more than spreadsheets, but not a huge enterprise system. vMaint brings work orders, spare parts, downtime tracking, and live machine performance (OEE) into one place, with an AI layer that troubleshoots the faults that keep coming back. Flat per site, your whole team included.

Free to try, no credit card. Live in about an hour. Your data is yours, export it in one click.

Mobile-first, live the same day, no IT project.

Tested with technician teams in real manufacturing environments, built to make daily work simpler, not heavier.

What vMaint replaces

Paper, disconnected tools, or software built for a giant.

Most small plants run on one of these. Each one loses records, hides downtime, and keeps maintenance and production from ever seeing the same picture.

01
Manual tracking
Paper-based logs, shift notebooks, and spreadsheets that nobody updates in real time. Records get lost, and no one knows what the last shift actually did.
02
Disconnected systems
Legacy CMMS tools that are slow, rigid, and maintenance-only, plus scattered communication over WhatsApp, verbal handoffs, and missed updates.
03
Overbuilt enterprise systems
Heavy MES platforms that are expensive, slow to roll out, and far too complex for small and mid-sized manufacturers to actually implement.
How it works

Maintenance and production, one connected floor.

Two sides of the shop share one real-time layer, with an AI layer reading your machines underneath it.

Maintenance

  • Work orders
  • Preventive maintenance
  • Spare parts and inventory
  • Asset history
  • AI-Tech troubleshooting and error codes

Connected in real time

  • Tickets (work orders)
  • Andon alerts
  • OEE
  • Team board

Kiosk / shop TV

Broadcast the floor live

Production

  • Output vs target
  • Downtime and reasons
  • Quality and scrap
  • Schedules
  • Photo to work order

Edge device (IoT / SCADA)

Sensor readings and machine status (running, idle, or faulted) stream in from your machines, set up per shop.

No SCADA or IoT yet? Operators tap Running, Idle, or Down, and production still tracks.

AI layer

Reads

  • Equipment manuals
  • Alarm and fault history
  • Sensor data
  • Downtime records

Acts

  • Opens inspections and work orders
  • Reads an error code, suggests the fix
  • Turns a floor photo into a work order
  • Shows what downtime is costing
  • Troubleshoots repeat faults

The AI is only as good as the data under it. Because maintenance, production, vendor work, and machine data all live in one system, vMaint can tell an operational stall from a maintenance fault from a vendor delay from a machine that is simply worn out, instead of guessing.

What changes

What changes on the floor.

The gaps a paper-and-verbal shop floor lives with every day, the ones I spent years inside, closed.

Before vMaint, work orders were written on paper or passed verbally, and information got lost between shifts. Now everything is centralized: technicians see their tasks on their phone, update status instantly, and attach photos. Operations finally has real-time visibility instead of walking to machines to ask. It matches how the shop floor actually operates.

FAQ

More than a CMMS. Straight answers.

What is vMaint?

vMaint is factory operations software for small and mid-sized manufacturers. It runs maintenance, production, and live machine data in one mobile app, doing the work of a CMMS and an MES together, so a small plant runs the whole floor on one system instead of three. It is built to go live the same day, with no long rollout.

Is vMaint a CMMS?

A CMMS only manages maintenance. vMaint does all of that, work orders, preventive maintenance, assets, and parts, then keeps going: live production and OEE, machine data once you connect your SCADA and sensors, and a team board the whole floor shares. For a small plant, it replaces the CMMS and the separate tools that usually sit around it.

What is the difference between a CMMS and an MES?

A CMMS manages maintenance: work orders, preventive maintenance, assets, and spare parts. An MES manages production: machine output, downtime, and OEE. They answer different questions, so most manufacturers buy both and pay to wire them together. vMaint runs both jobs in one app, and it can connect to your machines through SCADA and sensors when you are ready, so maintenance, production, and machine data share one record instead of three systems that never talk.

What can the AI do?

Because every fault, work order, part, and machine reading is recorded in one place, the AI reasons over your real shop instead of guessing. At the machine, a technician can ask what an error code means and get the answer straight from the manual, or ask how to fix a fault and get steps pulled from your own repair history, the manual, and live machine data when your machines are connected. A manager can ask which machine is costing the most downtime, how many times a fault has come back, and whether a vendor's repair actually held, then hand the vendor a clear history of the problem. It explains how it got there, and with your confirmation it can act, like opening a work order or logging a part used. You can also connect your own assistant, like Claude or ChatGPT, and ask about your shop in plain language.

How much does vMaint cost?

vMaint is priced flat per site, with your whole team included and no per-seat fees. Maintenance is $200 per site a month, Operations is $600, and Connected, which adds SCADA and IoT, is a custom quote. Every paid plan starts with a free month and a one-hour setup.

Will my team actually use it?

If they can take a photo on their phone, they are already using it. vMaint gives operators, technicians, ops leads, and managers each their own simple view, with no forms to fight and no logins to study before the next shift. Your whole team is included on every plan, and it was tested with real teams on active floors, built to make daily work simpler, not heavier.

Do you connect to our machines?

Yes. vMaint connects to your machines through SCADA, PLC, and IoT feeds, so fault codes and live readings sit next to the work order that fixes them. We set the integration up and quote it per shop, since every floor is wired differently, so it is handled separately from your plan rather than as a self-serve toggle.

Where does our data live, and who owns it?

You own your data, always. By default it is hosted encrypted in the cloud. For shops that need machine data to stay on site, vMaint can run the AI layer on an edge device in your building, so your SCADA and IoT data is processed locally and never leaves the floor.

Switching

Outgrowing MaintainX or UpKeep?

Most teams leave for two reasons: the bill climbs every time they add a person, and the tool only tracks maintenance, never what is happening on the line. vMaint fixes both, and your data comes with you.

Per-user pricing that climbs as the team grows

Flat per site, the whole team included

Maintenance only, blind to production

Maintenance plus live OEE and downtime

Getting your data back out is a chore

Your data exports in one click, no lock-in

Pricing

One price per site. Your whole team included.

A dedicated MES charges per machine and adds hardware. vMaint runs maintenance and production together in one app, priced for a small shop.

And yes, $200 and $600, not $199 and $599. No marketing gimmicks.

We scope it with you first

Industry estimates put unplanned downtime at a small plant around $3,000 an hour. At $600 a month, Operations pays for itself in roughly the first twelve minutes of downtime it helps you avoid.

See how vMaint compares to a CMMS and an MES, MaintainX and UpKeep, or a full MES.

Every plan starts with a free month and a one-hour setup, done with you one on one and built around your floor, not a generic onboarding. If you need more time to be sure it fits, just ask. No sales team, you talk to the people who build it. If vMaint is not the right fit we will say so, and if you need a SCADA build or an integration, we can help with that too.

About

Built by someone who's worked every side of the operation.

Mechanical EngineerMachine OperatorMaintenance TechnicianAutomation & SCADA Engineer

Most maintenance and production software is built by people who have never run a machine or stood in front of a faulted line at 2 a.m. I have. I worked the floor as a machine operator and a maintenance technician, then wired and programmed the same machines as an automation and SCADA engineer, with a mechanical engineering background behind all of it.

On every side I saw the same gap: engineering strategy and the day-to-day reality of the floor rarely line up, so operations, maintenance, and engineering end up working around each other. I built vMaint to put everyone on one shared picture instead.
