Where Equipment Tracker Pro Stands Out

  • AI Nameplate Scanner โ€” 20+ fields. Gemini-powered scanner extracts voltage, refrigerant type, SEER, MCA, MOP, filter specs, belt codes, and 20+ additional fields directly from a nameplate photo. Saves everything to the equipment record in one tap.
  • ๐Ÿ”ฎ AI Diagnostics & Troubleshooting. Describe complex symptoms and input measurements to receive targeted trade-grade troubleshooting steps in a conversational chat. Fetches the 5 most recent service logs to analyze the unit with historical context, saving technicians from swapping back and forth between different apps in the field.
  • EPA ยง608 Built Into Every Service Log. Refrigerant data lives inside the same service log as maintenance records and photos. The app calculates annual leak rates and flags comfort cooling (10%), commercial refrigeration (20%), and industrial process (30%) threshold violations on systems with 15+ lbs of charge.
  • Vendor Check-In Door Sign & Calendar Logs. A printable QR door sign for building entrances. Vendors scan with their phones to check in/out โ€” no app install required. Alerts sent to individual email addresses, logged on a calendar view in the web dashboard.
  • Free Core Tier โ€” Genuinely Unlimited. Unlimited buildings, equipment, parts records, maintenance logs, and photo documentation are free forever. No item caps (unlike Sortly's 100-item limit), no per-user fees (unlike MaintainX at $20โ€“65/user/mo), no implementation costs (unlike ServiceTitan's $5kโ€“$50k setup).
