CMMS alternative
A CMMS alternative built for the technician, not the admin
Most CMMS platforms are procurement software with a work-order screen bolted on. TESSA starts from the opposite end: the tech standing in front of the device with five minutes to document it.
Included, free
Two-minute capture
Scan the asset tag, tag the issue and action, done. No dropdown mazes or required fields you cannot answer in the field.
Mobile-first, not mobile-ported
Designed for a phone in a hallway, not a desktop grid squeezed onto a small screen.
AI writes the narrative
The part techs hate most — the write-up — is generated from what you already logged.
Why techs avoid the CMMS
Traditional CMMS platforms are built for asset registries, budgets, and compliance reporting — which is why data entry gets pushed onto the technician at the end of a long day. The result is thin, late, copy-pasted records. TESSA replaces that last mile: fast field capture, AI-written service reports, and a clean service history by serial number. If your department already runs a CMMS, TESSA can sit in front of it as the documentation layer techs actually use.

Service history by serial
Every report links to the device serial, so the timeline for any asset is one tap away.
Company workspace
Reports are attributed to the tech and shared across your team, with admin oversight built in.
Free for technicians
No seats to negotiate, no implementation project, no procurement cycle to start using it.
How it works
- 1
Start with documentation
Roll TESSA out to the techs first. There is no data migration and no configuration project — they sign up and start reporting.
- 2
Build the service record
Every session creates a structured, searchable report tied to the equipment serial and the technician.
- 3
Scale when you need to
When the department needs scheduling, dispatch, and fleet-level oversight, TESSA Operations extends the same data into full service management.
