UpKeep was designed so these critical workflow decisions can be made with data-driven insights and in real time, without mountains of note taking and paperwork.

The platform serves companies across industries, from manufacturing and farming, to hospitality and fitness, and includes global enterprises like Yamaha and Unilever. It keeps the sharing of all types of maintenance issues conveniently on one platform, in an easy to read user friendly interface.

This achievement showcases that the company is at the forefront of innovation in its field, and is positioned well to continue bringing next-level products to its customers.
