Our take

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.
For a monthly subscription fee, UpKeep's users can manage assets and inventory, track time and cost, implement preventative maintenance, and more, with two tiers of features plus a customizable business option to choose from. The platform serves companies across industries, from manufacturing and farming, to hospitality and fitness, and including 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.
In 2022, the company successfully patented its "UpKeep Edge" product, which leverages sensors and cellular gateways to deliver real-time data on operating environments. 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.

Company values
- Customers over revenue - We treat our customers the way we’d like to be treated. We anticipate their needs, actively listen to their requests, and care deeply about creating value for them. At the end of the day, it’s more important for us to do right by the customer than to worry about the most lucrative option
- Grit over prestige - We offer solutions, even if that means trying something new, in order to further the goals of our organization and customers. To honor our commitments, we face hurdles head on and think creatively to solve any problems in our path. When faced with the question, “Can we do X?” our instinctive answer is never simply “no,” it’s “no, but we CAN do Y instead.”
- Progress over perfection - We understand that our product and team always have potential to improve. We continuously develop our product in a way that helps our customers grow. When taking on a new project - we focus on moving quickly, not waiting until everything is perfect. As a team, we acknowledge mistakes, humbly embrace feedback, and pursue experiments with zeal
