Maintenance technicians spend most of their time in the field, not at a desk. Yet many CMMS platforms treat mobile as an afterthought—simplified web views that lack feature parity with desktop. UpKeep's mobile-first design ensures technicians have full functionality wherever they are.
Offline capabilities are non-negotiable for field service. Technicians working in basements, remote facilities, or areas with poor connectivity need access to work orders, asset information, and the ability to update status. UpKeep's mobile apps sync data when connection is restored, ensuring no work is lost.
Barcode scanning streamlines parts inventory and asset tracking. UpKeep's mobile apps include native barcode scanning, allowing technicians to quickly identify parts, update inventory, and link work orders to assets without manual data entry. This feature alone saves hours per week per technician.
Photo capture is another mobile advantage. Technicians can document conditions, capture before/after images, and attach photos to work orders directly from their phones. This visual documentation improves communication between technicians and managers while supporting compliance requirements.
UpKeep's mobile apps earn 4.7/5 ratings on app stores because they maintain feature parity with desktop while optimizing for touch interfaces. Competitors like MaintainX offer mobile apps but lack offline depth, while Fiix's mobile experience lags behind desktop updates. UpKeep's consistent mobile execution is why it leads in our mobile experience scoring.
