Free CMMS Excel Template— and a $0 cloud upgrade
Log your work orders — asset, dates, technician, status — in a free Excel template
A spreadsheet is a fine place to start. But once you add technicians, mobile work and preventive maintenance, a free cloud CMMS like FreeMaint does far more — at $0.
CSV, opens in Excel / Google Sheets — a work-order log with asset, work type, due/completed dates, technician, status & priority.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I download a free CMMS Excel template?
Right on this page: download our free template (CSV, opens in Excel/Google Sheets) — a work-order log with asset, work type, due and completed dates, technician, status and priority. It is free to start, but a spreadsheet quickly hits limits (no PM due-date reminders, no work-order workflow for technicians on mobile, history in a file anyone can overwrite). FreeMaint offers a free cloud CMMS that removes those limits with a $0 Core tier and unlimited users.
Is an Excel maintenance template good enough for a CMMS?
An Excel template works for a single user tracking a handful of assets. As soon as you need multiple technicians, a work-order workflow on mobile, preventive-maintenance reminders or reliable history, a spreadsheet breaks down. A free cloud CMMS like FreeMaint gives those capabilities at $0.
Can I migrate my Excel maintenance sheet to FreeMaint?
Yes. FreeMaint's self-serve CSV/Excel import wizard, free on every plan, covers assets, work orders and parts. You can import your spreadsheet yourself: map your columns to FreeMaint fields (status and priority must use FreeMaint's values) and the wizard shows any rows it cannot read. If you prefer hands-on help, our optional Setup & Migration service starts at $500.
Is FreeMaint really free?
Yes. The FreeMaint Core tier is free forever (paid tiers from $29/mo flat per company): unlimited users, unlimited work orders, assets and preventive maintenance. No credit card, no trial period.
