What you use today isn't badly made. It's made for a different problem.
A CMMS that stores an asset's location as a text field. A GIS that draws the entire network but doesn't know which work order is open on each point. A master spreadsheet that only the person who maintains it understands. Each one falls short in a different place, and each of these three pages goes straight to that place.
We compare by category, not by brand. You know the product you use better than we do, and running it down wouldn't tell you anything useful.
A three-column table — plant CMMS, GIS without an operations layer and spreadsheet — showing the capability each one lacks. By category and with no brand names, like the rest of the section.
Where are you coming from?
Each comparison puts your tool and a CMMS with native GIS side by side, capability by capability, and ends by telling you when you're better off staying where you are.
When switching isn't worth it.
- Your assets are inside a factory A general-purpose plant CMMS will serve you better, and cost you less.
- You manage a building by floors, rooms and locations Building facility management software has the right data model for that.
- Your assets are spread across a territory This is where we fit. Maptainer is built for assets that sit kilometres apart and for technicians who spend the day on the road. Outside that, we're not the answer.

Tell us what you use today and where it gets stuck.
With that, we'll tell you which of the three comparisons is yours. If it's none of them, we'll tell you that too.
