Fiix is the rare CMMS that earned its reputation in heavy industrial environments before it became a Rockwell Automation acquisition. The platform is genuinely strong — solid PM scheduling, established North American manufacturing customer base, and Rockwell ecosystem integration that matters if your plant runs on Rockwell PLCs and HMIs. The trade-off is pricing: Fiix Basic starts at $45/user/month, Professional at $75/user/month, with Enterprise quote-only and typically running well above that. A 30-technician operation pays $1,350-$2,250/month minimum on Fiix, before the implementation services that come standard with industrial deployments. OxMaint matches Fiix on industrial capability — IoT, SCADA, ERP integration, multi-site rollup, condition monitoring — at $8/user/month flat. Sign up free or book a demo.

The Bottom-Line Verdict — Industrial Capability Without Industrial Pricing
Fiix's industrial credentials are real. Acquired by Rockwell Automation, it carries deep manufacturing DNA. The question for buyers in 2026 is whether you're paying for capability or for the Rockwell brand. For most industrial operations without a hard Rockwell-specific requirement, OxMaint delivers comparable industrial capability at a fraction of the cost.

Pricing Reality — The Industrial CMMS Cost Curve
Fiix Basic starts at $45/user/month — and that tier is feature-limited. Professional ($75/user) is where most industrial operations land. OxMaint's $8/user paid tier delivers the same industrial capability without the per-user escalation.

Frequently Asked Questions
If we're already running Rockwell PLCs, doesn't Fiix have an integration advantage?+
Fiix's native FactoryTalk integration is a real advantage for plants with deep Rockwell-specific workflows — particularly if you're using Rockwell's condition monitoring stack (Allen-Bradley vibration sensors, FactoryTalk InnovationSuite, etc.). For plants running Rockwell PLCs through standard OPC-UA tag mapping, OxMaint provides equivalent connectivity. The deciding factor is depth of Rockwell ecosystem usage. Book a demo to walk through your specific Rockwell stack.
Can OxMaint really deploy in 3-5 days for an industrial operation?+
Yes for the core CMMS deployment — work orders, PM scheduling, asset registry, mobile rollout, basic reporting. Industrial integrations (SAP, SCADA, IoT) typically add 1-3 weeks for connector configuration, but these run in parallel with the operational rollout. Fiix's typical 4-12 week implementation timeline reflects the professional services engagement model — not the technical complexity. OxMaint's self-serve approach removes that overhead.
How does OxMaint AI compare to Fiix's AI capabilities?+
Fiix's AI capabilities are developing — the platform has announced predictive maintenance features but the rollout has been gradual and most are gated to higher tiers. OxMaint includes AI predictive maintenance, AI work order generation, AI-generated SOPs, and fault pattern detection at all paid tiers including the $8/user entry. Both platforms are working toward AI-native CMMS — OxMaint is further along in productionizing it.
Does OxMaint work for heavy industrial environments — manufacturing, power, oil & gas?+
Yes — OxMaint ships industrial vertical templates for manufacturing, power generation, oil & gas, mining, food processing, and pharma. The platform supports OPC-UA SCADA integration, IoT edge processing, condition-based maintenance triggers, and complex multi-tier asset hierarchies that industrial operations require. The free tier lets you evaluate against your specific operational complexity before committing.
What about migrating from Fiix to OxMaint with all our historical data?+
Fiix provides full data export. OxMaint's bulk import handles the Fiix CSV format directly — assets, PM schedules, work order history, parts inventory, and user accounts migrate without manual data mapping. Migration support is included free for industrial customers. Typical timeline: 2-3 weeks for a 50-tech operation including parallel running and validation, with no production downtime.
OxMaint vs Fiix — The Bottom Line
Industrial CMMS at SMB Pricing. Same Capability, 1/9th the Cost.
Fiix is a credible industrial CMMS with strong Rockwell integration. For Rockwell-heavy plants with FactoryTalk dependencies, Fiix is a defensible choice. For everyone else, OxMaint delivers comparable industrial capability — IoT, SCADA, ERP, AI, multi-site — at a fraction of the cost with self-serve deployment in days.
