Our Rating: 9.7
Our Verdict
We recommend Limble CMMS to businesses looking for a highly customizable maintenance management system. We felt the software was easy to use, offered visual dashboards, and was perfect for businesses that frequently change data related to assets, equipment, and machinery.
We would not use Limble CMMS if we didn’t need real-time mobile access to a CMMS. This might mean smaller companies or startups with limited assets. It also wouldn’t be a good fit for businesses requiring fleet management capabilities.
Limble CMMS is a mobile-first CMMS software designed to assist with maintenance by helping managers organize, automate, and streamline operations. Both desktop and mobile applications are available to provide access to services anywhere.
Companies with 1-500 employees will find the best use of Limble CMMS software. This includes small to large sized companies with physical assets that need maintenance, such as:
- Facilities
- Plants
- Fleets

Features
While testing out Limble CMMS, a few key features stood out:
Automated Dashboards
Limble CMMS has several different dashboards you can display when using the software. It’s easy to change between dashboards to see different data at a glance. You can set up your own parameters as well, such as having a monthly report run itself automatically once a new month has started. This was a great feature, as it meant you only had to create a report or dashboard once and Limble took care of filling in the rest.
There are pre-existing widgets you can use as a starting point to build your custom dash. However, if you need something more, you can reach out to Limble and they can try making it for you. Finished widgets can be dragged-and-dropped to look exactly how you want.
Work Order Management
Limble CMMS makes managing work orders simple. As mentioned with the customizable dashboards, you can view new, in-progress, and completed orders immediately after logging in. New WOs are easy to add as well, just select the appropriate category, such as Unplanned or Planned, and then click the green “Start WO” button. From there, you select the necessary assets, technicians, timeframe, and more.
A timer automatically starts whenever you view a newly assigned task. This helps streamline the logging process. There’s even an automated reminder if a user has spent over 5 minutes on a task without logging.
Photo capture and markup can be added to the comment section of tasks to create a clear, complete record of what happened. Oh, and when a task is completed, a fun message and GIF pop up to celebrate success.
There are plenty of videos available on Limble to teach new users how to do different tasks, like a tutorial on setting default work orders templates on assets. This was super helpful when first getting set up with the program.
Preventive Maintenance Programs
Limble CMMS lets you automate preventive maintenance scheduling based on time, asset usage, or equipment condition. A calendar on the global dashboard makes it easy to see who has upcoming tasks.
What Features Are Missing?
Using Limble CMMS would have been better with a few added or improved features, like:
- More 21 CFR coverage: Although Limble CMMS does offer 21 CFR, it’s only included in the Enterprise version. Since custom quotes are available for the Enterprise plan, this can still be affordable for many businesses looking for a way to prepare for 21 CFR audits.

Summary
Based on our experience, we’d recommend Limble CMMS to businesses looking to automate their existing maintenance processes. This solution is especially useful for those looking for visual ways to manage assets. You can set the highly customizable Limble dashboards to refresh based on what timetable works best for you. You can also manually refresh at any time. All of this makes Limble best for those businesses which need real-time maintenance options.
Limble CMMS has multiple pricing plans available to fit budgets of all sizes. However, the per user price means costs can grow quickly. As such, this might not be a good fit for businesses which are currently scaling up and have tight budgets. We also would not recommend Limble to businesses which do not have considerable physical assets or need a fleet management solution.

User Reviews of Limble CMMS
Write a Review
Prior to Limble, we managed in an old-school way. We used a lot of spreadsheets and verbal communication. We did not have the means to track what we were doing in our preventative maintenance programs.
I quickly realized what my predecessor was doing was working well, but there was no accountability or trackability if you will. I knew we needed a change and to upgrade what we were currently doing in order to better be more accountable to ourselves and to our company.
I reached out to a partner in the industry who is a Facilities Director who suggested Limble. It’s really great to see the maintenance staff embrace what we were doing. It only took them a week to get used to the software and now they prefer using Limble over what we had been doing
Labor is one of the most expensive components of what we do, so I know my team is more efficient. I’ve seen an increase in productivity of about 20-30% in the last 3-4 months since we’ve implemented Limble. It provides our technicians with the tools at their fingertips on their phones or tablets. If they are across campus they can look at their phones and know where to head. I can report to my executives that in the last 3 months, we’ve completed over 975 preventative maintenance tasks.We’re tracking our labor hours as well which helps create an operating budget.
