Why Teams Choose AssetLab
FCI Tracking & Forecasting
Track Facility Condition Index at portfolio, site, building, and system levels with long-term forecasting - purpose-built for capital planning.
Strategic Capital Planning
Build defensible capital plans with risk-based prioritization, budget scenarios, and 20-year replacement forecasting.
Guaranteed Canadian Data Residency
Operational data stored in Canada (authentication via Clerk, a US-based SSO provider). Hippo was originally Canadian but is now owned by Eptura (Atlanta, USA) - operational-data residency is no longer guaranteed.
Contract Management
Track contracts, expiration dates, renewal terms, and link them directly to assets and vendors - not available in Hippo.
Project Management
Plan and track capital projects with asset associations, budget tracking, and milestone management alongside your CMMS.
Transparent CAD Pricing
$65 CAD/user/month with all features included. No hidden tiers, no contact-for-pricing, no currency conversion.
Who Is Each Tool Best For?
Choose AssetLab if you need:

Consider Hippo CMMS if you need:

- Smaller teams needing basic CMMS without strategic planning features
- Companies comfortable with US-based data storage
- Teams that prefer a long-established CMMS brand
