Product Details

What is Hippo CMMS?

Hippo CMMS is a maintenance management software tool for organizations of all sizes. It is a SaaS solution offering a customized interface designed to suit users' operational maintenance needs. The vendor states that Hippo’s UX design principle has always been the same: features only have value if they're easy to find and use, and so they state their layout is clean and intuitive, making the software a breeze to learn.

Hippo CMMS has been providing maintenance software to organizations in manufacturing, healthcare, education, hospitality, sports and recreation, property management, and municipalities since 2004. Hippo CMMS has designed their computerized maintenance management system software with the intention of "making the complex simple." While offering the features required by organizations to streamline operations, Hippo is still designed to be intuitive. Hippo CMMS can be used by everyone within an organization, whether they're tech-driven VPs and CIOs, or not the so tech-savvy. The system enables work orders processing, carrying out maintenance requests, managing preventive maintenance and spare parts, and report generation by employees at all levels.

Hippo CMMS comes with all the modules and features necessary to streamline maintenance operations: a maintenance request portal, on demand work order management, preventive maintenance, inventory management, fleet maintenance, mobile work order management, reporting and extraction tools.

Hippo CMMS training and support staff work with clients during implementation, from start to finish, and continue supporting them throughout their subscription. Hippo offers an array of services to make sure implementation goes smoothly: site audits, data migration, software customization, and on-site and web-based training.

Hippo CMMS is widely used across agencies, hospitals, and cabinet manufacturing plants to improve efficiency and streamline operations. Agencies utilize the software to handle work requests, preventative maintenance, and logistical support, providing a dynamic and transparent process for requestors. Cabinet manufacturing plants find value in Hippo CMMS for streamlining maintenance work orders, tracking machine preventative maintenance needs, and setting budgets. Hospitals benefit from using the software to replace cumbersome paper worksheets and non-user-friendly systems, allowing staff to easily enter tasks that need to be done. Before adopting Hippo CMMS, organizations relied on post-it notes and emails to track projects, maintenance, and building needs. Overall, Hippo CMMS has proven to be a reliable tool for managing work requests, work orders, asset management, parts inventory, labor tracking, and more within various industries and departments.

Customizable Communication: Users have praised the platform's communication aspect, with several reviewers mentioning that it offers customizable interfaces. This flexibility allows requestors to see as many or as few details as they need, catering to their specific usage preferences.

Ease of Use: Many users appreciate the user-friendly nature of the platform, stating that little onboarding or technical knowledge is required to effectively utilize it. The intuitive design and interface make it accessible to users with varying levels of technical expertise.

Responsive Technical Support: Reviewers commend the Hippo staff for their reliable and quick resolution of issues. These positive experiences suggest that the platform provides excellent technical support, ensuring timely assistance when needed.

  • Limited functionality on mobile platform: Several users have expressed their desire for full functionality on the mobile platform, similar to what is available on desktop. They feel that the current limitations hinder their ability to efficiently use the software while on-the-go.
  • Reporting and task tracking difficulties: Users have mentioned that they find it difficult to access reports and track past tasks. Some users also believe that the reporting of completed work orders can be improved, as finding the required data is harder than it should be. This has led to frustration and inefficiency in managing and analyzing work order history.
  • Lack of customization options: Reviewers have pointed out that the product lacks customization options. They feel restricted by the inability to modify certain aspects of the software to meet their specific needs or preferences. This limitation limits flexibility and adaptability for different clients' requirements.

Hippo [CMMS] is being used across the agency to handle work requests, preventative maintenance, and requests for logistical support from our facilities team. It has filled a need for a dynamic, transparent process where requestors are updated along the way while their request is addressed. Additionally, it has contributed to a better work environment and a more efficient operation of our facilities as well as our staff.
  • Communication - a requestor can see as many or as few details as they need
  • Ease of use - little onboarding or technical knowledge needed for requestors to utilize the platform
  • Technical support - Hippo support staff are the backbone of the platform and resolve issues very quickly
  • Fleet management - would like to be able to transfer vehicles between locations as you can with equipment
  • Full functionality on the mobile platform as is available on desktop
  • More flexibility in modification to different client needs
I find that Hippo [CMMS] is really well suited for any scenario. Most CMMS are geared toward manufacturing or industrial use, Hippo [CMMS] works as well for a school or church as it would for a factory. The ease of use for the requestor makes it an ideal platform for any institution.
  • Communication
  • Transparency
  • Reporting
  • More efficient delivery of services
  • Less downtime
  • Less need for interpersonal follow-up on open issues

Hippo CMMS is the tool of choice for our company to manage all work requests and work orders within the facility. Our whole organization inputs work requests for the Maintenance / Engineering department to review and complete. We use this tool to manage change, document downtime, and to schedule PM's, calibrations, inspections etc.

  • Simple to use Work requester.
  • Great customer service and support.
  • Not filled with non-essential items like a lot of "Larger" company CMMS systems
  • Mobile App - They are improving as i type this
  • Simplified Mobile app for requester only. Not everyone needs the full CMMS
  • Notifications of comments on completed work orders - In case I don't see a comment
[Hippo CMMS is] great for smaller companies that do not need the large CMMS programs. Maybe not so well suited for companies that use SAP or other all inclusive systems to manage their business.
  • PM Scheduling and paperless documentation
  • Work Order Requester
  • Parts inventory
  • Great control of PM's and documentation.
  • Reduced paperwork by going all digital
  • Almost too easy for people to request work!
We used PMC before switching to Hippo [CMMS]. Hippo [CMMS] is much more user friendly and cost effective, and the paperless option was not even available through PMC at the time. The simplicity of entering PM's and work requests in Hippo [CMMS] is far superior to the previous system, and the customer support is much better.

Hippo CMMS is an excellent tool for anyone who needs a simple, yet effective work order system. Before we had Hippo CMMS, we were using post-it notes and emails to keep track of all the projects, maintenance (preventative and reactive), and needs of our building. Hippo CMMS helps keep a better track of those needs while doing so with a budget in mind.
  • Preventative Maintenance Schedule
  • Easy-To-Use
  • Low Cost
  • Intuitive
  • Customer Support
  • Inventor Management
  • Mobile Integration
Hippo CMMS is an excellent tool for any maintenance director with both easy to use tools and budget-friendly. The start-up for Hippo does take time (if done in house), but in the long run, it is worth it. Hippo CMMS allows you to customize your experience and provides detailed reports. Hippo gives you the ability to create preventative work orders, which had been a major sticking point with my team, considering in the past, it had been on post-it notes. Hippo has been a significant upgrade to our system and a massive help to my team.
  • Costly Start Up
  • Immediate Cost savings
I can't remember the names of other computer maintenance software, but the main reason for the selection of Hippo CMMS was cost. Hippo CMMS came in much lower than the other CMMS' while still providing the same features and functions.
Customer support for Hippo CMMS has always been extremely friendly and helpful. They are quick to respond to even the simplest need.
