AkitaBox says it can connect to existing systems that support integration. It runs on web, iOS and Android. Pricing is on request; there is no free plan, but a free trial is available.

MicroMain Maintenance is CMMS/EAM software for coordinating maintenance operations, assets, work orders, and parts inventory.
