What is Limble?
Limble is a maintenance management (CMMS) and asset management platform. Teams use it to schedule preventive maintenance, assign and track work orders, manage spare parts inventory and report on downtime and costs.
Technicians work from a mobile app, and Premium+ adds an offline mode. Anyone can submit a work request through a portal or by scanning a QR code. Managers build dashboards and track metrics such as MTBF and MTTR. The AI features include a PM builder, anomaly detection, scheduling suggestions and a check that stops duplicate work requests. Higher tiers add vendor and purchase order management, meter-based scheduling, a REST API and multi-location tools.
Limble is built for maintenance and operations teams in manufacturing, food and beverage, energy, hospitality, facility management, healthcare, education and construction. Pricing is quoted through a price calculator or a sales demo.
