What we plan it to do for maintenance teams
Planned, not built:
- An asset register with photos
- Preventive schedules and work orders
- Spares linked to jobs
- Downtime and cost per asset
- Reports
What is hard for maintenance teams
A site team keeping plant and equipment running.
- Preventive maintenance is on a wall chart
- Spares are not linked to jobs
- Downtime is not measured
What a day could look like, for maintenance teams
A conveyor motor is due its 500 hour service. A work order appears with the checklist, two spares are taken from stock and reordered, and the downtime and cost go onto that asset's history.
How we plan to make sure it works
When it is built, we will run it for weeks in a simulated business first, then let three real businesses use it for a month. Only then will it get a price here.

Each price is from the company's own pricing page on the date shown, in its own currency. Prices can differ by country. 1 of the 4 states a setup, hardware or licence cost on top of the monthly price; the full guide says which. We have not set a price for ours: there is nothing built to sell yet, and the price will be on this page before anyone pays.

It would be a small one: an asset register, schedules, work orders and spares from the stock engine. Large plants may need more.
