If you are comparing us with MaintainX

The question people actually type into Google is whether a maintenance platform will do QR code equipment lookup and photo attachment for field technicians. Answering only for our side: yes, and it is the centre of the product rather than a bolted-on module. A scan opens the unit with no signal, photos attach to the equipment record and to every maintenance log without a cap on either tier, and the printed label can open a public read-only page for someone who will never install the app.

Where Equipment Tracker Pro is not the answer: multi-step work order approval chains, technician routing rules and enterprise ticketing across a large crew. There is a work order system here — status, priority, assignment, due dates and parts — plus recurring PM schedules. But the blind comparison ranks MaintainX third on the equipment question and would choose it over this product for a 150-person maintenance organisation. If that is your size, buy the thing that is built for it.

Getting your equipment list across, and labelled

Two questions come up on the way over from any of these, and neither is about features. The first is getting what you already have into the app: the CSV importer reads a spreadsheet export, maps its columns onto the equipment fields and the building each unit sits in, and costs nothing on either tier — so a register that exists already does not get retyped at a desk.

The second is labelling the units once they are in, which is what makes a record open from the equipment instead of from a search box. The QR label generator prints a sticker per piece of equipment in three modes. Text and JSON labels are free to make, because everything is printed onto the sticker itself; only Link Mode needs Pro, because the public page that label opens has to be hosted.
