What TRIBOFILM does
TRIBOFILM is a French Computer-Assisted Maintenance Management (CMMS) software publisher founded in 1993 and headquartered in Périgny, France. The company designs, develops, and markets maintenance management software primarily for industrial, public-sector, and service-sector organizations. Its flagship product, MAINTI4, is a configurable CMMS platform that manages preventive and corrective maintenance work orders, equipment records, spare-parts inventories, and maintenance KPIs. A second product, PROGILUB, is a dedicated lubrication management module built on more than 25 years of lubrication expertise, sold standalone or integrated with MAINTI4.
TRIBOFILM earns revenue primarily through licensing of MAINTI4 and PROGILUB (perpetual and/or subscription), supplemented by implementation services, training, and ongoing support. Its customer base spans approximately 600 organizations and 10,000 users across roughly 30 countries, with the product available in eight languages. The go-to-market combines direct sales with channel partnerships (notably MOLYDAL for lubrication) and public-procurement vehicles such as the UGAP catalogue listing awarded in 2024. The company was acquired by Total Specific Solutions (TSS), a Constellation Software subsidiary, in 2020, providing capital backing and a roll-up governance model.
R&D effort is reported at approximately one-third of revenue, indicating a product-led development posture. Notable customer references include Airbus Nantes, Paprec, Dalkia, Alstom, and Scachap (Leclerc), spanning aerospace, waste/recycling, energy services, rail/industrial, and retail. Headcount is approximately 30 employees, and the company maintains ISO 27001 and Qualiopi certifications, supporting both enterprise procurement and training billable to French public-sector funding mechanisms.

TRIBOFILM competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- UpKeep: Mobile CMMS focused on maintenance and asset management for technicians and reliability teams. Comparable to TRIBOFILM's mobile-first, technician-centric approach, though typically serving North American and English-speaking mid-market accounts.
- Fiix (Rockwell Automation): Cloud CMMS now part of Rockwell Automation, focused on maintenance, asset, and work-order management for industrial customers. Comparable to TRIBOFILM in SaaS CMMS delivery and industrial vertical focus, now benefiting from Rockwell's predictive/industrial-AI stack.
- MaintainX: US-based mobile-first CMMS that has scaled aggressively in the industrial and facilities SMB/mid-market. Comparable to TRIBOFILM on web+mobile CMMS delivery and SMB-to-mid-market customer focus, though with a more modern product UX and North American bias.
Broad incumbents
- Hexagon EAM (HxGN SDx): Hexagon's Enterprise Asset Management offering addresses preventive/corrective maintenance and asset lifecycle in industrial and public infrastructure. Comparable EAM scope to TRIBOFILM, though Hexagon's scale and broader geospatial/industrial-tech portfolio make it a broad incumbent rather than a peer.
- SAP Enterprise Asset Management / PM: SAP's Plant Maintenance (PM) and EAM modules are widely deployed at large industrial and utility customers. Like TRIBOFILM, they address preventive/corrective maintenance, work orders, and ERP integration, but at vastly larger enterprise scale and as part of a full ERP stack.
- Infor EAM: Infor's enterprise asset management suite targets asset-intensive industries (manufacturing, utilities, public sector). Overlaps with TRIBOFILM on EAM/CMMS functionality and large-enterprise customer base, but bundled into a much broader industry-ERP portfolio.
- IBM Maximo Application Suite: IBM's flagship enterprise asset management (EAM/CMMS) platform used across manufacturing, utilities, transportation, and public sector. Comparable to TRIBOFILM as the dominant incumbent in the same maintenance management category, but at a vastly larger scale and with broader ERP-grade capabilities.
Direct peers
- Carl Source (Carl International): French-developed CMMS/EAM software suite targeted at facility management, public-sector technical services, and industrial maintenance. Directly comparable to TRIBOFILM's MAINTI4 in scope, French-origin DNA, and emphasis on public-sector/tertiary accounts.
- Mobility Work: French CMMS/GMAO software vendor with a mobile-first positioning and a strong footprint among French industrial SMBs. Direct competitor to TRIBOFILM on geography (France), product (web/mobile CMMS), and target customer (small-to-mid industrial and tertiary maintenance teams).
- Coswin (Siveo Group): Long-established French/European CMMS (GMAO) vendor serving industry and process operators with both SaaS and on-premise options. Highly comparable to TRIBOFILM in product, vertical coverage (industry, tertiary, public sector), and European mid-market positioning.
