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.

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.

[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.

Works very well for users to input a task that they need to be done. Works very well for the person doing the work. Work comes in task is assigned and completed much faster. Works very well for setting up pm tasks and keeping track of parts and part numbers.

Hospital Hippo works well and really can not think of anything not appropriate.

Hippo also has parts management. I have set up all my maintenance parts in the Hippo system. When I allocate a part to a piece of equipment, the system will allocate the cost associated with that to the equipment. Also I have set up thresholds to warn me when my parts quantity is getting low. This helps us keep our inventory up to date.

Small organizations that do not need all the features will have to filter out additional information on reports. Larger organizations could be more productive, not sure. It works for our company and allows access to the information with a little experience

I have recommended to colleagues. It is well suited for a small to medium size plant or multiple plants. A very large company may not be a good fit due to some of the slight issues with reporting. It is very good with managing equipment, good at work order management, and good and spare parts inventory management.

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.
