CMMS software for Canadian organizations
A Computerized Maintenance Management System designed specifically for Canadian requirements. Canadian data residency, PIPEDA-aligned practices, CAD pricing, and features built for Canadian industries from oil & gas to manufacturing to government.
Why Canadian organizations need Canadian CMMS software
Most CMMS platforms are US-based with US data storage and USD pricing. Canadian organizations face unique requirements that generic international software ignores.
Your data crosses the border
Most CMMS vendors are US-based, which means your maintenance data, employee information, and vendor contacts may be subject to US data access laws like the CLOUD Act.
Budgets swing with the exchange rate
USD-priced software turns every renewal into a guessing game. Currency fluctuations make it hard to forecast a predictable annual maintenance budget.
Generic software ignores compliance
For organizations with PIPEDA obligations, public-sector data requirements, or a preference for Canadian data sovereignty, generic international software falls short.
Work order management, end to end
Create, assign, and track work orders from request to completion. Mobile access for technicians, automated routing, and real-time status updates - all on a modern platform with Canadian data residency.
- Create, assign, and track work in list, Kanban, or calendar views
- Automated routing so nothing falls through the cracks
- Real-time status updates for the whole team
- Every completion logged with hours, parts, and costs - audit-ready
And everything else you'd expect
Preventive maintenance and compliance scheduling
Schedule recurring maintenance based on time, usage, or condition. Reduce unplanned downtime and extend asset life with proactive maintenance strategies built around Canadian compliance obligations.
- Work orders create themselves when maintenance comes due
- Schedule by time, usage, or condition
- Fixed calendar schedules for compliance-driven inspections
- Overdue PMs are flagged before they become breakdowns
Beyond maintenance: strategic capital planning
AssetLab goes beyond basic CMMS functionality to provide strategic planning tools that most maintenance software lacks entirely.
FCI Tracking
Track Facility Condition Index across your portfolio to understand asset health and prioritize capital investments objectively.
20-Year Replacement Forecasting
Project asset replacement costs over a 20-year horizon for long-term capital planning and budget defence.
Risk Assessment Framework
Score assets using Likelihood of Failure x Consequence of Failure for objective capital investment prioritization.
Capital Budget Planning
Build defensible capital budgets backed by asset condition data, replacement forecasts, and risk assessments.
Canadian data residency and PIPEDA-aligned practices
Four reasons Canadian teams choose a Canadian-built CMMS over a generic US platform - from where your data lives to how you budget for it.
Canadian Data Residency
Maintenance data, asset records, and operational information stored in Canadian data centres. Authentication is handled by Clerk (US-based SSO provider), so sign-in data is subject to US jurisdiction - operational records are not.
- Data stored in Canadian AWS/Azure regions
- Operational records (not sign-in data) shielded from foreign data access laws
- Meets federal and provincial requirements
- Audit trails for compliance verification
PIPEDA Aligned
PIPEDA-aligned practices for handling employee data, vendor contacts, and contractor information under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act.
- Compliant data handling practices
- Privacy by design architecture
- Data retention controls
- Consent management support
CAD Pricing
Fixed Canadian dollar pricing eliminates budget uncertainty from exchange rate fluctuations. Know exactly what you will pay every month.
- From $45 CAD per user per month
- No hidden fees or add-ons
- Transparent, published CAD pricing
- Predictable annual budgeting
Canadian Support Hours
Support available during Canadian business hours across all time zones. No waiting for US support teams to start their day.
- Pacific to Atlantic time zone coverage
- Local implementation support
- Canadian account management
- Bilingual support available
The reality: Most CMMS vendors are US-based, which means your maintenance data, employee information, and vendor contacts may be subject to US data access laws. For organizations with PIPEDA obligations, public sector data requirements, or simply a preference for Canadian data sovereignty, a Canadian CMMS solution is essential.
