Replace Your Maintenance Spreadsheet With a PM Program That Plans Itself
Maintenance Planning Manager is flat-fee, planning-first preventive maintenance scheduling software built for SMB manufacturing. At $199/month for unlimited users, it's structurally cheaper than every per-user CMMS the moment you have 5 technicians.
- Flat-fee — unlimited users, no per-seat penalty
- 14-day free trial — no credit card required
- Planning-first — schedule drives the queue, not the reverse
- Built-in PM interval library — 20 equipment categories, instant value Day 1

Tens of Thousands of Manufacturing Facilities Still Run Their PM Program Out of Excel
3–6 Hours Per Week Building and Updating PM Schedules
$5,460–$17,160/year in labor at $35–$55/hr loaded
Your CMMS Bill Grows With Every Technician You Hire
5-person team on Limble = $225–$375/month; Maintenance Planning Manager = $199 flat
Your CMMS Can't Help You Build a PM Program From Scratch
Blank-canvas CMMS tools give you no guidance on PM intervals — you research every asset from zero
A Single Missed PM Can Cost $25,000–$125,000 in Unplanned Downtime
Premature asset failure from skipped intervals costs 500–3,000× the annual software price
A Planning-First PM Platform Built for the Solo Maintenance Planner
Maintenance Planning Manager puts the PM schedule builder at the center of the workflow — not as an afterthought to work orders. Define intervals → auto-generate work orders → track completions → measure compliance. All at a flat monthly fee, regardless of team size.
Asset Registry + PM Schedule Builder
Build your entire PM program from a structured asset register. Pre-seeded PM intervals for 20 equipment categories mean your first schedule is done in under 30 minutes.
Auto-Generated Work Order Queue
Active PM schedules auto-generate a rolling 7/14/30-day work order queue. No manual work order creation — ever.
Live KPI Dashboard
PM Compliance %, MTBF, MTTR, and overdue task aging — all calculated automatically from live data. No spreadsheet, no manual calculation.
Build Your Asset Registry
Add your equipment with type, location, manufacturer, and install date. Use the built-in PM interval reference library to assign validated maintenance schedules for 20 common equipment categories in minutes.
Schedule Auto-Generates Your Work Orders
The PM schedule builder calculates due dates and generates a rolling work order queue automatically. Assign tasks to technicians, set priorities, and track progress through a four-stage workflow.
Measure Compliance and Reliability
The KPI dashboard shows PM Compliance %, MTBF, MTTR, and overdue task aging — all calculated from your live work order data. Show plant management a PM compliance report without touching a spreadsheet.
New Users Get Instant Value on Day 1 — No Blank Canvas
Most CMMS tools hand you an empty work order screen and expect you to know exactly what PM intervals every piece of equipment needs. We don't. The built-in PM interval reference library includes pre-validated recommended intervals for 20 common manufacturing equipment categories — electric motors, air compressors, conveyors, HVAC units, forklifts, hydraulic systems, and more. One click to adopt a recommendation. Your PM program is running before lunch.
Stop Paying More Every Time You Hire a Technician
| Team Size | Limble Standard (~$33/user/mo) | MaintainX Premium (~$75/user/mo) | Maintenance Planning Manager |

At 5 or more technicians, Maintenance Planning Manager's flat monthly fee is structurally cheaper than every named per-user CMMS competitor — before accounting for the planning-first features they don't have.
