A4B is a cloud CMMS for small and mid-sized maintenance teams who want to leave per-user pricing and spreadsheets behind. Flat $19.99/month covers 50 users — your 1st technician and your 50th cost the same. The Free tier handles 5 users, 50 assets, and 2 workspaces with no credit card.
Core maintenance workflow
- Asset inventory with auto-generated numbers, serial / warranty / custom fields, CSV import
- Preventive and reactive maintenance tasks with assignees, due dates, priorities
- Daily email notifications in each user's timezone
- QR code labels — scan with any phone browser to pull up an asset and open a task
- Performance dashboards and CSV export
Capital Overview — for ops leaders and finance
Most CMMS tools stop at the maintenance log. A4B's admin-only dashboard connects that log to capital planning: total fleet book value, monthly value loss, top depreciating assets, and a 12-month replacement budget forecast. Supports straight-line and declining-balance depreciation with per-asset useful life, salvage value, and method selection. Financial data is gated server-side at the policy, controller, and MCP-tool layers — technicians, MCP clients, and activity-log viewers never see book values or historical financials. A facilities director or CFO plans replacements on the same calendar as the PM schedule, without a parallel spreadsheet.
Native AI integration via MCP
A4B is currently the only CMMS exposing a Model Context Protocol server. Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible assistants call tools — read assets, create work orders, query history, manage users — over OAuth 2.1 + PKCE with audit logging and multi-tenant isolation. No API keys to hand out.
