Ecotrak Launches Self-Service CMMS, Empowering Small Businesses to Take Control of Facilities Management

Published

By

IRVINE, Calif., May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ecotrak, the leading provider of facility and asset management software for multi-location businesses, has officially launched Ecotrak Build, a self-service CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) designed specifically for small business operators. Built from the ground up for speed, simplicity, and affordability, Ecotrak Build is now available for just $25 per year, per location—and includes a 30-day free trial.

With the launch of its self-service portal, Ecotrak is removing traditional barriers to entry like implementation delays and expensive onboarding. Small business owners can now sign up in minutes, set up locations, find vendors, and start managing their repairs from one easy-to-use platform.

“We built Ecotrak Build for the operators who do it all—the ones wearing five hats and still trying to keep their equipment running,” said Daniel Castleman, VP of Product at Ecotrak. “There hasn’t been a robust CMMS solution made specifically for small business. Build changes that. It’s affordable, it’s powerful, and it’s ready to go when you are.”

Key features of Ecotrak Build include:

Instant access to pre-vetted service providers

Unlimited work orders and invoices

Support for up to 10 locations during the free trial

Mobile app for fast, on-the-go service requests

A clean, intuitive dashboard

From plumbing issues and HVAC breakdowns to equipment maintenance and emergency repairs, Ecotrak Build gives operators the ability to respond fast, assign vendors, track progress, and manage costs—all in real time.

The self-service experience was designed to be plug-and-play:

Create an accountAdd your locationsInvite and assign vendorsSubmit your first service requestStart tracking work

Build is ideal for quick-service restaurants, franchise owners, coffee shops, gyms, salons, convenience stores, and any other small business that depends on equipment working day in and day out. Unlike enterprise CMMS tools built for corporate facilities teams, Build meets operators where they are—with simple workflows, mobile-first access, and no unnecessary complexity.

The platform is now live at www.ecotrak.com/pricing, where new users can sign up and begin their 30-day free trial.

About Ecotrak

Ecotrak is more than a facility management platform—it’s your partner in the trenches. Built for businesses that can’t afford downtime, Ecotrak delivers real solutions, real insights, and real support to help facility teams run smoother, spend smarter, and plan for the long haul.
