2024 wasn’t just another year—it was a transformative period for Limble CMMS and its customers. Facing significant challenges like changing regulations and rising costs as a result of persistent inflation, companies across industries faced a need to adapt. Frequent breakdowns and chaotic reactive maintenance required new and innovative solutions.
Through all the headwinds, Limble customers achieved a record-breaking nearly $1 billion in savings and operational wins for their companies.
Limble worked to support these unprecedented achievements by responding to customer needs, reimagining its product offerings, and redefining customer success and collaboration. Here are the lessons we learned by tackling 2024’s biggest challenges and how Limble and its customers exemplified resilience and agility.
Adapting to evolving maintenance challenges
This year, the maintenance field faced new and rapidly evolving challenges that left no industry unaffected.
Shifting regulations and changes to health and safety regulations demanded rapid compliance for those in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors and updated sustainability and environmental standards required increased oversight of internal procedures from other industries.
Workforce shortages, driven by an aging workforce and growing skills gap, continued to strain teams. Without the expertise and human resources available to sustain existing maintenance activities, teams were forced to find ways to do more with less.
Manufacturing disruptions, exacerbated by persistent global supply chain issues and geopolitical events, added to the pressure companies faced to keep equipment running despite delayed parts and materials. Combined, these factors emphasized the need for more innovative solutions that could help improve efficiency such as advanced training, investment in predictive maintenance strategies, and stronger collaboration across teams to ensure reliability, sustainability, and resilience in increasingly unpredictable circumstances.
How Limble responded to support customers
Limble CMMS answered the call by making 2024 a year of groundbreaking innovations, focusing on empowering its customers to overcome maintenance challenges with cutting-edge solutions and community-building initiatives. Here’s how Limble responded to customer needs.
Automating workflows with powerful integrations
Limble expanded its integration capabilities, enabling seamless connections with ERP, IoT, and other enterprise systems. This innovation will allow customers to automate workflows effortlessly—whether syncing asset data across platforms or triggering maintenance tasks based on sensor alerts. By removing manual intervention, Limble’s integrations helped organizations save time, reduce human error, and improve operational efficiency.
Building connections through the Limble Community
In 2024, Limble launched the Limble Community, a hub where maintenance professionals could connect, share insights, and learn from one another. Customers praised this initiative as a game-changer, offering access to peer advice, best practices, and Limble-exclusive resources. The community fostered collaboration and turned maintenance challenges into shared learning opportunities, strengthening the bond between Limble and its users.
Recognizing excellence with the Maintenance Hero Awards
Limble celebrated its customers’ successes by introducing its first-ever Limble Maintenance Hero Awards. This program spotlighted the unsung heroes of maintenance—technicians, managers, and teams who went above and beyond to keep operations running smoothly. The awards served as an inspiring reminder of the vital role maintenance professionals play in every industry, fostering pride and motivation across the Limble network.

In Limble’s virtual Maintenance Heroes Summit, the company unveiled its latest product updates designed to further empower maintenance teams and support them in dealing with evolving challenges.
