Factory operations software that cuts downtime and connects your whole floor.
Work orders, PMs, and parts, plus live downtime and OEE, in one app. Flat per site, never per user, so the whole team and your production numbers are included, without an MES rollout.
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.
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.
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
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
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
- 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 vMaint does on the shop floor.
One system, built in layers. A maintenance base, production on top, your machines connected, and an AI layer that reads all of it.

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