Spreadsheet, fleet software
or something that fits?
A fair look at your options for keeping machines and vehicles maintained, from someone who’s tried them.
Invite-only field testing. Yearly plans from $99.
Option 1
The spreadsheet.
When it works: one person, a handful of machines, and the discipline to update it every time.
Where it breaks: a spreadsheet is free right up until nobody updates it. It has never once reminded anybody of anything, it can’t take a photo, and the person who built it is the only one who understands it.
Option 2
Big fleet software.
When it works: large fleets with a dedicated maintenance manager and an IT budget.
Where it breaks: it’s built for 500-truck logistics companies, priced like it, and about as fun to use in a wet van as filling out a tax return. Your crew won’t touch it.
Option 3
Easy Upkeep sits in the middle.
Enough structure to keep your gear honest. Simple enough that your crew will actually use it.
Reminds people
Phone notifications when readings and tasks are due. A spreadsheet can’t do that.
Proves the work
Photo proof and notes on every task, time-stamped against the machine.
Priced for small teams
Yearly plans from $99. No enterprise contract, no IT project.
Whatever you choose
Ask these questions first.
- Will the people in the field actually use it?
- Does it remind anyone when something’s due?
- Where do photos, issues and completion records live?
- Can you prove a service was done if a workshop or warranty provider asks?
- What happens when there’s no signal?
- What does it cost per year, all in?
Know. Don’t guess.
Stop guessing.
Start knowing.
