Loc8 API
Loc8 markets REST APIs on its site but publishes no developer portal, endpoint reference, auth scheme, or SDKs. Access is gated behind contacting the integrations team. In practice the surface is 18 prebuilt connectors, mostly accounting and BI, plus exports capped at 5,000 rows.
Frequently asked questions
Loc8 scores D on the API Report Card. Loc8 markets REST APIs on its site but publishes no developer portal, endpoint reference, auth scheme, or SDKs. Access is gated behind contacting the integrations team. In practice the surface is 18 prebuilt connectors, mostly accounting and BI, plus exports capped at 5,000 rows.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Loc8 is a cloud-based Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), asset management and field service management (FSM) platform operated by SmartPath, an Australian-founded cloud software company.
Field Service Management / CMMS, targeting maintenance, operations and reliability teams in facilities management, mining, utilities, government/defense, healthcare, hospitality, education, emergency services, construction, retail, transportation/rail and nonprofits. A facilities or maintenance manager configures the asset register (equipment, locations, hierarchies, warranties, certifications) and builds preventive maintenance schedules that auto-generate work orders on cadence.
Moderate within the CMMS/FSM segment. Loc8 carries ~120+ aggregate reviews across Capterra, GetApp, Software Advice and G2, and is profiled on Gartner Peer Insights for Enterprise Asset Management.
Loc8 is the operational system of record for the maintenance and field service businesses that run on it: full asset register (equipment, hierarchies, locations, warranties, certifications, photos), preventive maintenance schedules, work orders and job records with completion forms, conditional inspection results, parts/inventory consumption, technician schedules, mobile time and GPS data, signed completion documents, quotes, split-billed invoices and mark-ups, customer master records and engagement history, and the accounting bridge into Xero / QuickBooks / MYOB / Sage.
Mature. Loc8 was founded in 2011 and the product has been continuously developed for 14+ years.
No public developer portal, OpenAPI spec or API reference, integrators must contact Loc8 sales/integrations to even begin. No documented authentication flow (no OAuth, no self-serve API keys); access is manually provisioned by the vendor. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include IBM Maximo, UpKeep, Fiix (Rockwell), Maintenance Connection, eMaint (Fluke), ServiceTitan. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Loc8 API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Loc8 data. See the Loc8 integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/loc8-api.
