Welcome to MEX

In August 1993, MEX was launched as an Access-based product. Built on Microsoft’s trusted database platform, the first version offered a simple yet powerful way to organise maintenance data and set the foundation for future CMMS innovation.

After several years of development, MEX released its first major version, MEX v6. This milestone marked the beginning of the product’s commercial journey, introducing a solid, user-friendly foundation that shaped subsequent releases.

The release of MEX v11 represented the final Access-based edition and a turning point for the software. This version bridged the move toward a more robust, scalable platform capable of handling growing enterprise needs.

With MEX v12, MEX successfully migrated to the .NET framework and Microsoft SQL Server. This transition enhanced performance, stability, and scalability—paving the way for modern maintenance management capabilities.

Expanding beyond desktop, MEX launched its first iOS app, giving maintenance teams the ability to manage assets and work orders from anywhere—ushering in a new era of mobile maintenance management.

By 2016, MEX supported over 12,000 users across 2,000 organisations. The release of MEX v15 reinforced the platform’s core promise of simplicity, speed, and reliability—making it the strongest version to date.

MEX celebrated 25 years in maintenance management, marking a quarter-century of continuous improvement and trusted performance for thousands of asset-intensive businesses worldwide.

Later in 2018, MEX introduced Edit Mode, a powerful tool that lets users manage security, customise fields, and tailor the system to fit their exact operational needs.

Responding to customer demand, MEX launched its mobile app for Android and UWP. Available on Google Play and the Microsoft Store, the release made it easier than ever to access MEX on the go.

The MEX Ops Requests system was rebuilt with a fully responsive HTML5 interface. This update allowed users to submit and track maintenance requests seamlessly across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.

MEX added the Prestarts module to its mobile app, enabling teams to perform pre-operation safety checks directly from their devices—enhancing workplace safety and compliance.

MEX has begun development on version 16, marking the next evolution in the platform’s journey. With a focus on performance, usability, and modern design, MEX v16 will deliver the most powerful CMMS experience yet.
