My name is Thurston Clark, and I am the original and sole programmer of the Mechanic's Mate CMMS. I wrote every line of code, starting in the 1990s with FoxPro 2.6 and migrating it through to its current version in FoxPro 9.
To ensure the continuity of the software, I am available for expert support, data recovery, and custom modifications. You can read the full development case study for Mechanic's Mate on my professional portfolio site to learn more about my background.
If you are a current user needing assistance or a new customer with questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. You will be speaking directly with the programmer who wrote every line of its code.

CMMS software has been available for decades. Until recently, most systems were of the Client/Server variety and allowed implementation of the maintenance software with a single fee and nominal annual fees for support. Suddenly, these Client/Server systems all but disappeared from the marketplace and were replaced with Web-based systems that require a monthly fee per user — thereby, allowing CMMS vendors a steady revenue stream. There are some advantages to this Web-based architecture; however, the customer is plagued with monthly charges that never end.
Mechanic's Mate CMMS remains a file-sharing based CMMS product, offering one of the best values in the CMMS arena as there are NO Monthly FEES!
