UpKeep At A Glance
Product Overview
UpKeep is an asset management solution (also known as CMMS) designed for in-the-field technicians to access, edit and close work orders straight from their mobile devices without being tied to their desks (although UpKeep is available on a desktop through a Web browser).
Requestors can submit a work order request via the software, so there’s no need to keep track of multiple emails and phone calls or piles of paperwork. Businesses can customize their work order forms, either by creating their own or using UpKeep’s templates. Managers can prioritize work order requests based on urgency and assign them to technicians as needed.
UpKeep also includes benefits offered with traditional computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) software, such as improved productivity, reduced maintenance costs and the ability to track an asset’s end-to-end lifecycle. However, unlike those solutions, UpKeep offers a very short implementation process and minimal training due to its intuitive interface.
Features
UpKeep includes many standard CMMS features. However, we also want to point out some of its unique functions.
UpKeep’s group collaboration feature is designed to improve communication among mobile technicians and their managers. Technicians can receive push notifications in real time for areas such as work order status or urgent requests. The manager can set up to six different levels of access, from users who can only view orders (such as third-party users or clients) to requestors and administrators.
Technicians have access to a calendar to see deadlines for all work orders as well as communicate with each other using the app. And finally, managers can create reports on various items, such as a breakdown of which work orders are assigned to which technician and the status of each technician’s work order.
Clients can also expand their collaboration by integrating UpKeep with Slack, a collaboration tool.
Other features of UpKeep include:
- Electronic signature
- Uploading and annotating images
- Scanning barcodes of inventory/assets and adding them to work orders
- PDF work orders and invoices for email and print
- Ability to store PDF files, such as manuals
- Available in multiple languages (French, German, Spanish, English)
