Review on UpKeep by Terry Stubblebine

The UpKeep application makes life easier for our technicians. Everytime we send someone out to check something we know about it right away and we cut down on costs as well since we don't pay double to have someone come back just to write everything off again.



This site had a nice design, color scheme, icons, etc. However, there seemed to be no obvious ways to navigate within the app without spending too much time searching around. It would benefit me if there was a main menu bar on top of each page rather than just links to sections throughout the app. Another idea to consider is making some type of feature toggle button. For example instead of having 4 separate tabs for 'Repair', 'Maintenance', 'Service' and 'Parts & Supplies', why don't create one tab called "Support" that includes four different sub categories? Lastly, maybe add some sort of timeline or calendar navigation interface that shows historical dates over recent activities. It would be very beneficial to see when certain things happened, e.g. the last time the oil changed. Other than those three suggestions, overall, liked this application!



UpKeep is a tool that makes maintenance much easier for technicians. It brings all the necessary information about each vehicle into one place allowing the technician to easily manage tasks on the job site without any added overhead or unnecessary steps. As soon as the equipment goes offline technicians using Upkeep can prioritize repairs and identify critical issues before they become problems. This means less downtime and better productivity while improving overall asset performance.

This application gives me quick alerts about potential issues on our properties and lets me communicate those problems right away via text messages with our maintenance teams. If something actually happens, such as a leak causing damage to property or water coming behind walls then I am immediately notified so I can deal with it rather than going into panic mode thinking I have hours till a problem arises. The app even tells me once the issue is solved so I know for future runs and the next time I might run across something unexpected.
