The maintenance loop

Something broke. Now what?

Most plants still run this on spreadsheets, paper, and WhatsApp groups — so the same pump fails again, and nobody remembers how it was fixed last time. 5thIndustry makes the whole loop structured and searchable.

Step 1
Report

Open the asset, snap a photo, submit.

Step 2
Triage

It lands on the board, prioritised and assigned.

Step 3
Repair

Tech works the checklist, logs parts used.

Step 4
Record

Every change saved to the asset's timeline.

Step 5
Learn

AI surfaces similar past incidents so the same thing doesn't bite twice.

From spreadsheet to system

Stop running maintenance in Excel.

Maintenance plans live and die in spreadsheets — until a due date slips, a tab gets overwritten, or the one person who understood it leaves. Here's the same plan as a system that reminds you, keeps the history, and holds up in an audit.

Report & triage

From the floor to assigned — in one board.

Operators report in seconds. Planners see the whole queue at a glance. No more “did anyone pick this up?”

Report in under 30 seconds. Pick the asset, attach a photo, submit. Reporters never use a paid seat.

Kanban, or your own buckets. “Triage”, “Waiting — parts”, “QA” — your columns, mapped onto four canonical states.

Filters that stick. Save a board view per team, asset, or priority — it's there the next time you open the page.

AI assistant

T-2847 has 3 similar tickets in the past 90 days — likely the same root cause on the main seal.

AI assistant

Ask how to fix it. Ask what's failing.

Not a generic chatbot bolted on. The assistant is grounded in your data — manuals, photos, documents, and the history of every machine.

“How do I fix this?” Answers pulled from the asset's own manuals and similar past tickets — not the open internet.

Ask your data anything. “Which asset failed most on Line 3 last month?” — answered against your records, with a “How I computed this” breakdown.

Only your data. Nobody else's. Every AI request stays inside your organization and is checked on our servers. Your manuals and ticket history are visible to you and the assistant — no other customers, no open internet.

Reports & reliability

Know your MTTR before your auditor asks.

Fixed dashboards for the four numbers that matter, ad-hoc analytics for everything else, and a CSV export on every list view.

One system, not five tools

Everything that runs your maintenance

Asset hierarchy

Unlimited-depth trees, lazy-loaded. Re-parent assets, inherit grouping, manage docs per node.

Recurring schedulers

Time-based (“every 1st Monday”) or counter-based (“every 10,000 cycles”). PM tickets create themselves.

Spare parts & inventory

Material masters, stock by location, min/max levels. Consumption logs against the ticket automatically.

Checklists

Step-by-step procedures on any ticket. Templated for scheduled PM so work is done the same way every time.

Audit-ready activity log

Every create, update and delete on every entity, recorded. The trail ISO reviewers and downtime reports need.

Files that the AI reads

Manuals, photos and documents are vectorised in the background, so the assistant can retrieve them later.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a CMMS?

A CMMS — Computerized Maintenance Management System — turns the maintenance loop (report → triage → repair → record → learn) into one structured system around your assets. Tickets, asset history, schedulers, spare parts, an audit-ready activity log, and reports — all in one place.

Can it replace our Excel maintenance spreadsheets?

Yes — that's exactly what most teams switch from. Instead of a spreadsheet someone has to remember to check, your maintenance plans become recurring tasks that create themselves and remind the right person. Every asset keeps its full history, overdue jobs surface automatically instead of hiding in a row, and every change is logged for audits. You start from how you already work in Excel — assets, tasks, due dates — and it's live in a day. No more "(final)(v3)(USE THIS).xlsx".

How fast can we get started?

Same day. Sign up, set working hours and locale, invite your team, register your first few assets, and raise the first ticket. No long implementation projects.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — 14 days on the full Advanced tier, every seat, no AI caps. No credit card. Cancel anytime.

Does it work on mobile devices?

Yes. The web app is responsive and works in any modern mobile browser. Dedicated native iOS and Android apps are on the roadmap.

What languages are supported?

English and German at launch. More languages are on the roadmap.

How does pricing work?

Reporters — the people who only file tickets — are always free. You pay per maintainer seat on one of three tiers: Basic, Standard, or Advanced. The AI assistant runs on a monthly fair-use quota per Standard/Advanced seat, with one-time credit packs available for overflow.
