Self-hosted trades & field-work software
CMMS maintenance, equipment checkout, permits and inspections, timesheets, freight-document extraction, and asset registers — tools for crews that move physical things. Every tool below is a one-time purchase — no subscriptions, and your data lives on your own server.
Self-hosted without the assembly
The other answer to “self-hosted” is a repository: clone it, read the compose file, provision a database, wire up mail, then keep it patched yourself. That is a fair answer when running infrastructure is already your job, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. Everything on this page is the other kind — all 7 of them. Each is bought once, the full PHP source is in the download, and the web installer finishes on ordinary shared hosting in about two minutes. No Composer, no Node, no build step, nothing to compile, and nothing that phones home.

Maintenance management plus equipment checkout — keep machines running and know who has the gear. — 3 of the tools on this page are in it.
Year one, rented

Replacing what you rent now
Read before you buy
What the Field-Service Suite bundles and why the five are five: Jobora for quotes, scheduling and costing; Fleetora for the van's expiries; Lendra for the kit; Fixora for the plant; Inspectora for what is due. Each product's refusals, the hand-offs, and the arithmetic beside buying them separately.
A maintenance release for Jobora: the first quote created after loading the demo data could collide with a demo number and fail to save. Fixed in the seed and in the number generators; 166 tests.
Before a buyer paid, their AI agent read our legal page, our support page and our security.txt on their behalf — and guessed four URLs that did not exist. A dated account of the visit, from our own access log, and the four routes we added the same morning.
Limble names three plans and prints no figures — read on 7 September 2026, every tier routes to a calculator. If the missing number is why you are looking, here is what a published one looks like.
An inspection register is a list of assets, a list of checks, and the date each was last done. It is sold per user per month, which prices it by the size of your team rather than the size of the job. Two vendors' published positions, and what the meter is really counting.
The limitation-smash release: your tools now write to the people they serve — client emails through your own SMTP, calendar feeds, attachments, export presets — every one of them off until you switch it on.
