The CMMS for the
missing middle.
Knurl is a lightweight maintenance management system for the organizations stuck between spreadsheet chaos and six-figure enterprise software. Offline-capable, mobile-first, priced by the facility — never by the seat.
Excel on one side. Enterprise CMMS on the other. Nothing in between.
A maintenance team with 20 to 500 assets has outgrown spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups — but the established CMMS vendors are priced and scoped for hundreds of seats and a full IT department. Knurl is built for that middle: the factory, the hotel, the hospital, the mall, the property portfolio that needs real work-order tracking without an enterprise rollout.
A maintenance loop, done well — then a platform around it.
The core is the loop every team runs every day: register the asset with a QR sticker, scan it, raise or pick up a work order, fix it, photograph the proof, close it. Around that core Knurl adds preventive maintenance, spare parts, analytics, multi-facility, procurement and integrations — one product, three honest tiers.
No per-user pricing
Invite the whole crew — night shift, seasonal hires, the on-call subcontractor. Tiers are bounded by assets, not seats.
Offline-capable
Technicians work through basements, freezer aisles and outages. The mobile app keeps a local copy and syncs cleanly when the signal returns.
Mobile-first
Built for the phone in the technician's pocket — not bolted onto a desktop app. Managers get a web dashboard; technicians get a native app.
Zero hardware
A printed QR sticker is the only physical artifact. No beacons, no gateways, no RFID. The phone is the reader.
Knurl — get a grip on your maintenance.
Knurling is the cross-hatched texture machined onto metal tools and knobs so you can grip and control them. That is exactly what the product is for: a firm, deliberate grip on the work that keeps a facility running. Pronounced “nurl” — the K is silent, like in knife.
