What it is

openMAINT is a web-based CMMS for managing buildings, sites, plants, technical devices, mobile assets and related logistics, economic and maintenance activities. Its Facility Management functions cover preventive and corrective maintenance for sites and registered assets. An inventory module records real estate, plants and components, including their status and technical characteristics. Assets can be georeferenced on territorial maps, displayed in 2D GIS layouts using DWG imports, and represented in 3D BIM models synchronized through IFC files. Users can configure data schemes, object types, attributes, workflows, reports, filters and views. The software supports web service interoperability, external-system connectors, CSV import and export, and CMIS-compatible document management. It runs on a web server and is accessed through a browser; stated server platforms include Linux, OSX and Windows. Requirements include PostgreSQL 17.x, Apache Tomcat 10 and Java 17; PostGIS and Docker are optional. The AGPL license permits use, distribution and editing. A free Self-Service plan is available, while annual subscriptions include support and mobile access.

openMAINT in depth

Read the full write-up

openMAINT is a web-based CMMS and property-management system for organizations responsible for buildings, plants, equipment and their upkeep. It is best suited to teams that need configurable records and spatial views across complex sites. Its breadth is compelling, but mobile access and the self-service portal sit behind a paid annual subscription.

Overview

openMAINT brings facility and asset management together: teams can track real estate, plants and components, including their status and technical characteristics, and manage preventive and corrective maintenance for sites and registered assets. Spare-parts inventory, logistics, economic management, and energy and environment functions extend its reach beyond work orders. That breadth is useful for organizations coordinating physical assets and maintenance in one system, though it also makes the product a more involved proposition than a focused maintenance tracker.

The AGPL license permits use, distribution and modification. Deployment is web-based and requires a web server; the stated stack includes PostgreSQL 17.x, Apache Tomcat 10 and Java 17, with PostGIS and Docker optional. This is a meaningful operational commitment for a self-hosted installation, so teams should consider their capacity to run and maintain the stack alongside the software's licensing cost.

Key features

Asset records and spatial context

The inventory covers buildings, plants and components. Assets can be georeferenced on territorial maps, shown in 2D GIS layouts built from DWG imports, and represented in 3D BIM models synchronized through IFC files. These views make openMAINT particularly relevant to organizations whose maintenance decisions depend on where equipment sits within a site or building, rather than only on an asset list.

Configurable processes and connections

Users can model data schemes, define object types and attributes, tailor workflows and reports, and create filters and views. Web-service interoperability, external-system connectors, CSV import and export, and CMIS-compatible document management provide ways to connect records and exchange information. This flexibility can support varied operating models, but teams should be prepared to shape the system around their own processes.

Maintenance covers preventive and corrective work, and the product also supports spare-parts inventory. The CMDBuild mobile app is available for Android 5.1 or higher and iOS 11 or higher, but using it requires a maintenance service subscription. Native mobile access is therefore not part of the free plan.

Pricing

Complexity is based on users, buildings or units, assets, workflows, connectors, clustering and multitenancy.The free Self-Service plan includes a broad set of management capabilities, including GIS and BIM, making it a substantial starting point for teams able to operate the system themselves. It gives up the mobile app and portal, however, so it is a poor fit if staff need those access routes. The annual subscription is the relevant option for those features and adds support, fixes with a guaranteed SLA and updates; its price depends on the instance and service level rather than a fixed published fee. Each subscription covers one production instance.

Platforms

openMAINT is web-based and accessed through a browser; it runs on Linux, OSX and Windows servers. The product's platform coverage also includes Android, iOS, API and self-hosted use. The mobile app's stated minimums are Android 5.1 and iOS 11, and app use requires the maintenance subscription. Server deployment means the operating-system list should not be mistaken for a hosted service offering.

Who it's for

Its intended users span public administrations, banks, healthcare organizations, schools, service companies, transport operators, industrial companies and other businesses. The common fit is an organization managing a substantial mix of facilities and technical assets, especially where configurable workflows and map, drawing or model views matter. Smaller teams seeking a lightweight, ready-to-use maintenance tool, or organizations unwilling to take on server operations or an annual service commitment for mobile access, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros

Wide operational scope: inventory, preventive and corrective maintenance, spare parts, logistics and economic management cover more than work-order handling alone.

Useful spatial views: territorial maps, DWG-based 2D GIS layouts and IFC-synchronized 3D BIM models bring asset location and building context into the system.

Modifiable under AGPL: organizations can use, distribute and edit the software, which suits teams that value control over their installation.

Substantial free tier: the Self-Service plan includes inventory, facility management and GIS/BIM without a subscription fee.

Cons

Technical operating burden: self-hosting requires a web server and a stack that includes PostgreSQL 17.x, Tomcat 10 and Java 17.

Important free-plan exclusions: the mobile app and Self-Service Portal require the annual subscription.

Subscription cost varies: annual pricing depends on the instance's complexity and SLA, making it harder to budget from a single standard rate.

Subscription scope is bounded: each annual subscription applies to one production instance.

Alternatives

Onfinity Enterprise Asset Management is worth considering for teams looking for a free community edition: its Pluto plan is free, and the described ERP editions include Asset Management among their apps.

Accruent EAM is a paid option with a free trial and platform coverage across Android, iOS, web, desktop and self-hosted use; consider it if those deployment choices better match your requirements.

Asset Insider is a paid option with a free trial and Android, iOS and web coverage. Canvitrid Asset Manager also offers a free trial, with a stated 14-day trial plan and web and mobile platforms.

FieldEZ is a paid alternative with Android, iOS, web, Windows and API coverage. On Key EAM is another paid option with a free trial and Android, iOS, web and API coverage.

Siemens Origin is a paid alternative with Android, iOS, web and API coverage. AssetWorks EAM is a paid option with the same stated platform categories.

Verdict

Choose openMAINT if your organization needs a configurable, broad facility and asset system with maintenance processes and meaningful GIS/BIM context, and can manage its server stack. Its free plan is a strong base for self-hosted use, but teams that need the mobile app or portal must budget for a renewable annual subscription whose cost scales with deployment complexity. Look elsewhere if you need those capabilities without that service commitment or want a less demanding deployment.

Verdict

openMAINT offers broad facility, asset and maintenance management with configurable data and GIS/BIM views. Its free plan has exclusions, and teams considering mobile access or annual support should account for the subscription terms and server requirements.
