The work-order list, shown with made-up work orders, assets and people.

The problem

The plant runs on what a few people remember.

The history leaves with the person

One technician knows which gearbox was rebuilt and when. When they are off shift or move on, so is that knowledge.

The service that was due last month

Lubrication rounds and filter changes sit on a calendar nobody owns, so they get done after the breakdown.

Jobs handed over in the corridor

A fault is mentioned at shift change, written on a whiteboard and wiped. Nobody can say whether it was fixed.

Software priced per head

When a tool charges for each user, a small team ends up sharing one login, and the record no longer shows who did the work.

What you can do with Powoflow now

A record for every machine

Organise by line and system under your site. Each record carries its manuals, photos and status, and a QR code that opens it when scanned.

Work orders with a clear state

Open, in progress, on hold or complete, with the person assigned, the time spent and a signature at sign-off.

Preventive maintenance on a schedule

Set the interval once. The plan raises the work order when the service is due, so the round no longer depends on memory.

Checklists that have to be completed

Mark a check as required and the job stays open until it has an answer. The answer is kept with the job.

Record what failed

When a corrective job is completed, note what failed and why, so a repeat fault shows up in the machine's history.

One price for the team

Starter is $99 a month for the account with five users included, not a fee for each technician. Extra users are $15 a month each.

Where to start

No hardware needed. The first 30 days run at Professional limits.

Ask for an account

Fill in the Start free form. We set the account up, usually within one working day, and email you when you can sign in.

Send us your machine list

A spreadsheet is enough. We bring it in with you, so you begin with your own machines. Starter and Professional can begin from the manufacturing starter template.

Enter the jobs you already know about

Take the open faults off the whiteboard, raise each as a work order and assign it.

Add one maintenance plan

Pick the service that is most often late, set its interval, and let the plan raise the next job.

If you also run

A yard outside the plant

Trailers, containers and forklifts that are never where the list says.

Pump houses and treatment works

The same register and inspection rounds, spread over many small sites.

What it does not do yet

Plans are driven by the calendar. Running hours and cycle counts cannot trigger a job yet.
Every machine has a QR code, but you cannot print labels from the browser yet.
You can export work orders as a spreadsheet yourself. For your machine records, ask and we export them for you.
Temperature and humidity sensors for cold rooms and stores are still being validated on our own system, and are available on request.

Free for one site and three users, and priced per account when you grow.
