Atlas CMMS

Overview

Atlas CMMS is maintenance software for teams coordinating equipment upkeep and service requests. It suits organizations that want flexible deployment and scalable asset records, but teams needing inventory or labor tracking must move beyond the free plan.

Its open-source project is dual-licensed under AGPLv3 and a commercial license for white labeling, custom branding, and advanced features. That gives organizations a self-hosting option, while branded or advanced use may call for commercial licensing.

Key features

Work orders and preventive maintenance

Teams can create, assign, prioritize, and track work orders, preventive maintenance, and service requests. Schedules can recur daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly, or be triggered by events or meter readings. This supports both calendar-based upkeep and servicing tied to equipment use. Technician time and manpower tracking are paid features, so the free plan is less suitable when labor records are central.

Assets and inventory

Asset records support 10 to 1,000,000 assets, with custom fields, parent-to-child hierarchies, QR codes, maintenance logs, and sensor connectivity. That range leaves room for small operations and large asset estates. Inventory tools add low-stock notifications, automatic usage tracking, barcode lookup, cost reporting, and usage forecasting, but begin with Starter rather than Basic.

Mobile, integrations, and safeguards

The iOS and Android apps let technicians view assigned work, start work orders, receive notifications, and look up asset information. Professional adds offline mobile mode, a meaningful upgrade for teams that need to keep working without a connection. Repository documentation lists Google Maps integration and configuration options for Google Maps, Google Cloud Storage, SMTP, SendGrid, and Google or Microsoft OAuth2.

The privacy policy says data at rest is encrypted with AES-256 and data in transit with TLS 1.3, and gives a 72-hour incident-notification timeline. It also says Atlas does not sell personal information and identifies Cloudflare, Netlify, and Google as service providers. Cloud deployments carry a 99.9% monthly uptime commitment; standard email support is during business hours with a 24-hour response time.

Pricing

Atlas has a free plan, paid per-user plans, and a 15-day trial. The trial is for internal evaluation only and cannot be used for production or commercial purposes, so it is not a production-ready substitute for a paid plan.

Basic is the clear fit for teams that need work orders and asset management without inventory controls or technician time tracking. Starter adds those capabilities at $10 per user per month; Professional costs more for multiple inventory lines and offline work, while Business is aimed at organizations needing automation, purchasing, multi-site support, or API access. Paid features are priced per user, so costs rise as the team grows.

Platforms

Atlas supports Android, iOS, web, API, and self-hosted deployment. Teams can use cloud, self-hosted, or hybrid deployment models, giving organizations a choice between managed access and running the software on their own server.

Who it's for

Atlas is a strong candidate for maintenance teams that need structured work orders, varied preventive schedules, and detailed equipment records, especially when self-hosting or hybrid deployment matters. It is less compelling for teams that need production access during evaluation, want inventory on the free tier, or need offline mobile work without upgrading to Professional.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Basic includes unlimited work orders and asset management at no charge, a useful starting point for teams with straightforward maintenance needs.
• Pros: Asset records span 10 to 1,000,000 assets and support QR codes, hierarchies, logs, and sensor connectivity, giving larger operations room to organize equipment.
• Pros: Cloud, self-hosted, and hybrid deployment options serve organizations with different hosting requirements.
• Cons: Inventory management and time tracking start at Starter, limiting the practical reach of the free plan.
• Cons: The 15-day trial is barred from production and commercial use, so teams cannot use it as a live pilot.
• Cons: Offline mobile mode is reserved for Professional, and paid plans charge per user.

Verdict

Choose Atlas CMMS if your maintenance team wants capable work-order and asset tools, a generous free starting point, and the option to self-host or use a hybrid deployment. Look elsewhere if production evaluation, free inventory, or offline work on a lower tier is essential; Atlas keeps those needs behind paid plans or outside its trial terms.
