The Problem

Why most building and grounds maintenance software doesn't stick.

Enterprise CMMS platforms are overbuilt for small organizations. Small maintenance teams aren't short on effort — they're short on a tool that fits how the work actually happens in the field, on a phone, between calls.

The parts log is on paper.

Or in someone's truck. Or in a text thread. Either way, nobody knows what was actually used last month.

The board asks what it costs.

When the council or board asks what the harbor or the grounds actually cost to maintain, you guess. The numbers exist — they're just scattered across crews, receipts, and memory.

The reports are late, or they don't get done.

Existing CMMS tools need training. Techs won't use them in the field. So the data never makes it in, and the reports stay blank.

How It Works

Work orders, inventory, and PM scheduling — in three steps.

  1. 1

    Create the work order

    Pick a location, write what needs doing or what got done. Takes under a minute on a phone.

  2. 2

    The system fills in the rest

    Category gets tagged automatically. Parts mentioned in the description get matched to your inventory and costed out.

  3. 3

    Pull the report

    Search any location, part, or category and get a clear, detailed cost report instantly — exportable for the council packet or budget meeting. No spreadsheets.

Features

Everything a small building or grounds team needs — nothing they don't.

Plain-language work orders

A tech writes what they did in normal English. The system reads it, tags the category, and pulls the parts used — automatically.

Real cost tracking

Every log entry rolls up labor and material cost automatically — no extra data entry. See what any slip, building, or grounds area actually costs, by category and by period, ready to export.

One search bar, not ten filters

Type a location, a part, a category — get a clear picture instantly. No filter menus to learn, no report builder to fight with.

Works on the phone in your pocket

Mobile-first input designed for gloves and sunlight. No app install. Just open the page and type.

Location-aware

Track work and cost by site, building, slip, field — whatever your facility structure looks like. We set it up with you.

Your data stays yours

Export anytime. Cancel anytime. No long contracts, no vendor lock-in, no held-hostage data.

Built For

Built for teams like yours.

Small organizations that maintain real places — harbor departments, marinas, municipal facilities, school districts, and parks teams — use it every day.

FAQ

Questions we hear most.

Do my techs need to install an app?

No. It runs in any phone browser. Bookmark it to the home screen and it behaves like an app — no app store, no IT ticket.

Who owns the data we put into the system?

You do. You can export your work orders, inventory, and cost data at any time. If you cancel, we hand the data back — no lock-in.

Do we need IT to set this up?

No. Most teams are running within an hour. If your facility structure is unusual, email us and we'll set up your locations and categories with you personally.

What if my techs aren't comfortable with computers?

The whole point of the system is that they just type what they did in normal English. There are no dropdowns to navigate, no parts to look up. If they can text, they can use it.

Is there a contract or minimum term?

No. It's month-to-month. Add or remove user seats anytime — you're only billed for what you use.

Is my data secure?

Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted on enterprise infrastructure, and isolated per organization. Only your team can see your data.
