The maintenance system that fills itself out.
Your technicians talk for 20 seconds at the machine. NexusCMMS turns it into the work order, the asset history and the PM record — no forms, no typing on a greasy phone. Set up from the spreadsheet you already have, in an afternoon.
What the technician says
“Compressor two in the back, the belt's squealing again and it's running hot. Swapped the belt, took about forty minutes, we should check the tensioner next PM.”
What NexusCMMS writes
Asset: Compressor #2 (AST-0031)
Problem: belt squeal, running hot
Work done: belt replaced
Labour: 40 min
Follow-up: check tensioner at next PM
The AI drafts; a person approves. Nothing is written to the record without a human saying yes. Asset names are matched against your own registry — the system never invents a machine.
Three things it does that the spreadsheet can't
Everything else — work orders, preventive-maintenance schedules, asset history, QR codes, a request page for operators — is the boring, reliable core. These three are why plants switch.
Voice and photo at the machine
Say what you did or what's wrong. Snap the nameplate. The work order, the labour time and the follow-up land in the right place, tied to the right asset. Typing is always there — it's just never required.
Full on day one
Upload the asset spreadsheet you already keep. Columns are mapped, rows are checked, and you approve the result before anything is created. Your real plant, in the system, the same afternoon.
Count assets, not people
One flat price per plant. Every technician, operator and manager gets a login — adding a person never costs you anything, so everyone actually uses it.
Be one of the first plants on it
NexusCMMS is built and running, and it needs real maintenance work flowing through it before it goes on general sale. That's what a design partner is: a plant that uses it for real and tells the founder what's wrong with it, every week.
A 30-minute call
You tell me how maintenance is tracked today — spreadsheet, whiteboard, someone's head. You send me the spreadsheet if there is one.
Your plant, loaded
I set up your assets and PM schedule from your own data and walk your techs through the first capture. On-site if you're in Winnipeg.
Weekly, for six months
A 20-minute check-in. What worked, what didn't, what you'd need to keep it. That feedback is the whole point.
What you get
- Six months free, every feature, no card
- Setup done for you, from your existing spreadsheet
- Direct line to the founder — fixes in days, not quarters
- A locked founder price when the free period ends, for as long as you stay
- Your data is yours: export everything, any time
What I ask
- Run real work orders through it — not a side experiment
- Honest feedback on a weekly call
- Permission to tell your story once it's working
Who it's for
A good fit
- One plant, roughly 20–200 people — machine shops, fabricators, food and beverage, packaging, breweries
- Maintenance lives in a spreadsheet, a binder or a whiteboard today
- Technicians who hate paperwork and a manager who needs the history anyway
- Comfortable with cloud software on phones and a browser
Not yet
- Multi-site enterprises, SSO, integrations with your ERP — that's later
- On-premises installs
- Sensor or IoT-driven maintenance — software only, by design
- Anyone who needs a purchase order before a conversation
Abhishek Kaushal, founder. I spent four years at Eptura in Winnipeg — the company behind Hippo CMMS, which started here — as a Tier 2 technical lead, watching maintenance teams fight their software. NexusCMMS is the version I wished I could have handed them: one that does the paperwork so the technician doesn't have to. It's built, it's running, and I'm looking for the first plants to prove it on.
