Where we're genuinely different

The data entry problem nobody talks about

Every CMMS — Limble included — requires someone to manually enter your assets, procedures, and PM schedules before the software does anything useful. For a mid-size facility with hundreds of assets, that's weeks of work before you get any value.

Shiftlyio eliminates that. Upload your equipment manuals and we extract every maintenance task, interval, and procedure — no data entry required. Try it free — no account required.

What Limble users actually say

From verified reviews on G2, Capterra, and Software Advice

"Pricing can add up when you have a larger team. Per-user costs become a significant budget item as we scaled."

— Verified Limble user, Capterra

"The initial setup was time-consuming. Entering all our existing assets and PM templates took our team several weeks."

— Verified Limble user, G2

"Would love more flexibility in custom reporting. Some of the dashboard views are harder to tailor than I'd like."

— Verified Limble user, Software Advice

"Syncing issues on mobile occasionally — work orders don't always update in real time when the connection is spotty."

— Verified Limble user, G2

Limble also has hundreds of positive reviews. We're highlighting common pain points, not cherry-picking.
