Looking for a Limble alternative? How FieldEx compares
For teams whose maintenance work now includes customers' equipment: portals, quotations, contracts and service levels compared, with each Limble claim sourced.
Limble is a highly rated maintenance system built around your own locations, assets and maintenance team. FieldEx is a field service and asset management (FSM+CMMS) application. As a Limble alternative, it suits service businesses that maintain equipment for their customers, with quotations, customer contracts, service-level timers and a customer portal built in.

Contracts built around customers' assets
Limble divides access by location and organizes equipment with parent assets (Limble help). In FieldEx, a contract links a customer to the equipment it covers and the maintenance plans that apply for the contract term.
A portal for customers, not just requesters
Limble's portal lets people submit requests through a link or QR code (Limble). The FieldEx portal also shows each customer their equipment, upcoming maintenance and job history, and lets them reschedule.
Quotations your customers approve
Bills and invoices in Limble are received against purchase orders from your vendors (Limble help). FieldEx sends customers branded quotations and records each approval (FieldEx Pricing).
Service levels built into every job
For SLA reporting, Limble asks customers to "reach out to our team to talk through" what they need (Limble). FieldEx attaches an SLA package to each job, times each stage in business hours and alerts you when a job is at risk.
Completion reports that reach the customer
Limble prints a task summary or saves it as a PDF from the task (Limble help). FieldEx creates a branded completion report at sign-off and can send it automatically to the customer or anyone else.
