Launch HN: UpKeep (YC W17) – Basecamp for Facility Maintenance Teams
Hi Ryan - Congratulations on a maintenance management software. I currently support Maximo for a 1,500 person organization with 100 facilities technicians&#x2F;supervisors using Maximo on three different shifts.<p>I&#x27;m glad you&#x27;re working on a mobile app (iOS &amp; Android) because enterprise is really slow to make a product that is usable for technicians. EzMaxMobile &amp; Interloc could be your competitors.<p>Who do you think your competitors are?<p>Do you have a product roadmap for what you plan to build out as features? Will this be based on customer requests, or do you have market areas you&#x27;re clearly trying to target?<p>Having some test items, assets, and locations would build out the demo&#x2F;starter a little more.<p>For Time screen, bigger increments might be better such as 6 minute (0.1 hour) or 15 minute (.25 hour) increments.<p>Having screenshots and explanations of each role would be useful. I logged in as Admin, but I&#x27;m curious what a technician sees on smartphone. Also, how does a requester submit requests?<p>I can see mom-and-pop shops that might use this for their small business, invoicing, and sending automated updates to requesters (customers). You might consider a stripped down version for individuals.<p>I gave you a plug on the Maximo LinkedIn discussion group.
