Verdantix Green Quadrant Report Highlights Leading Commercial Buildings CMMS Vendors Enabling Real Estate Optimization And Resource Efficiency

London, UK. Rising labour costs, growing operational and regulatory pressures, and mounting expectations for building performance and maintenance are driving real estate and facilities management (FM) firms to adopt data-driven FM strategies. Organizations are increasingly replacing legacy systems with computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) to improve uptime, optimize resources and enable reliable, data-driven decision-making across diverse commercial building types.

As a result, the CMMS market is growing rapidly, as businesses demand platforms with AI-predictive maintenance that enhances technician productivity, optimizes vendor performance and delivers real-time data insights. Enterprise solutions dominate the market, supporting global and multi-site portfolios by offering scalable low-code configurability, mobile-first design and seamless integrations with IoT and other enterprise systems. However, many organizations are turning to smaller providers for their sector-specific functionality, agility and innate usability, particularly in compliance-heavy industries that rely on intuitive workflows and quick adoption. To stand out in the market, vendors are leveraging innovations such as AI-powered real-time support, digital twins and predictive analytics, to improve usability, enable asset mapping and meet the modelling demands of commercial property owners.

The inaugural  Verdantix Green Quadrant: Commercial Buildings Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) (2025) report provides facilities directors, heads of maintenance, and real estate leaders with comprehensive insights into 16 CMMS software providers, helping them select the best-fit provider based on their needs. The report identifies Planon, MaintainX, IBM, Limble, Infraspeak, Nuvolo, ServiceNow and Facilio as market leaders demonstrating the most advanced and comprehensive CMMS capabilities. Key report findings show that:

• As organizations face skills gaps and high turnover, buyers are turning to CMMS platforms to help recruit, retain and upskill technicians. Limble addresses these challenges through a mobile-first UX, with embedded how-to videos, real-time in-app support, and an intuitive interface that reduces training overheads and improves first-time task accuracy.
• Modern CMMS platforms leverage AI-driven predictive maintenance to optimize strategies, automate operations and reduce downtime. For example, Infraspeak provides AI-enabled alerts to streamline complex workflows, while IBM Maximo delivers enterprise-grade configurability with AI-powered insights, incorporating live IoT and BMS data for predictive and proactive decision-making.
• Integrating technology ecosystems is now key for strategic efficiency. Deep integrations become essential for firms to streamline workflows and ensure asset productivity. Providers such as JLL (Corrigo) offer more than 1,000 live integrations across ERP, procurement, HR and ticketing, to support vendor management, while Eptura expands capabilities with extensive integration options for sensors, telematics and OEM platforms.
• With the growth of maintenance records and sensor data, modern CMMS platforms are becoming comprehensive decision-support engines for strategic planning. Facilio uniquely bridges operational data with spatial context through its digital twin interface, enabling portfolio owners to resolve issues and enhance tenant experience. In parallel, TMA Systems’s WebTMA leverages spatial intelligence and its Virtual Facility capability to triage and prioritize BAS alerts, strengthening real-time responsiveness across complex facilities.
  
  

“Commercial building owners and facility directors face rising labour costs, aging infrastructure, regulatory pressures, changing tenant expectations and operational complexity. As a result, organizations are replacing legacy systems with CMMS solutions that optimize resources, streamline maintenance and maximize ROI”, said Sophia Shakur, Industry Analyst at Verdantix. “This momentum is rapidly transforming the CMMS market, with AI-powered scheduling, predictive parts ordering and spatially aware operations becoming standard. With integration quality emerging as a key differentiator, sustained adoption relies on continuous training and collaborative roadmap planning. Vendors offering flexible, integration-ready platforms are best-positioned for long-term success.'"
