A custom maintenance platform that turned millions of scattered records into one fast system.
A mid-sized industrial manufacturer ran maintenance on a powerful but rigid enterprise platform. We built a purpose-built CMMS on top of it: same source-of-truth data, none of the friction, shaped exactly to how the plant actually works.
Great data, locked behind a rigid interface.
The maintenance team's system of record held everything — assets, work orders, parts inventory, labor history — but day-to-day it fought back. Reference fields showed raw machine IDs instead of names. Common workflows took too many clicks. Reporting meant exporting and wrestling spreadsheets.
The data was solid. The experience around it was the bottleneck.
Cryptic IDs
Hundreds of fields displayed raw IDs instead of the asset, person, or status they referenced.
Slow workflows
Creating a work order, logging labor, or issuing a part took more steps than the floor had patience for.
No live view
Dashboards and audit reports meant manual exports — stale the moment they were made.
One-size-fits-all
Off-the-shelf screens couldn't be shaped to the plant's real roles and routines.
Don't replace the system of record — build the right surface on top of it.
Ripping out an enterprise CMMS is risky and expensive. Instead, we integrated directly with the existing platform's API and built an automated sync that mirrors the live data into a fast local store — then put a clean, purpose-built application in front of it. The official system stays the source of truth; the team gets an interface built around their work.
Every reference ID is resolved to a human name. Every common task is a couple of clicks. Every dashboard is live. Nothing about the underlying data integrity changes.
A full maintenance management platform.
Enterprise API integration — automated, scheduled sync of 50+ entities with per-table sync status and metadata.
Human-readable everywhere — a resolution engine maps 233 ID fields to real names: assets, people, statuses, departments.
Work order lifecycle — create, edit, close, log labor, and issue parts with inventory auto-decrement and audit trails.
Live dashboards — work orders by status and type, top assets, overdue PMs, recent activity — all real-time.
Instant global search — Ctrl-K across work orders, assets, parts, and contacts.
Inventory management — part issuance, stock adjustments, and a McMaster-Carr-style visual parts catalog.
Roles & access — user authentication, role-based permissions, and per-user saved column presets.
Printable cards & CSV export — clean printable asset / part / work-order sheets and one-click data export.
Take the CMMS where the work actually happens.
A maintenance system is only as good as what reaches the floor. Beyond the desktop, we build lightweight companion apps — for a phone or tablet — that plug straight into the same live CMMS data. No clipboards, no double entry, no "I'll sync it later."
CycleCount
Walk the storeroom, scan a shelf, count what's there. Reconciliations post straight to the CMMS in real time — inventory accuracy without the paperwork.
Kaizen
Capture improvement ideas and safety observations right where they happen — photo, note, assign. Every suggestion tracked to closure, nothing lost on a sticky note.
Mobile Work Orders
Open, update, and close work orders, log labor, and attach photos from a phone on the floor. The desktop and the floor stay perfectly in sync.
…and whatever else your floor needs — rounds, inspections, asset lookups by QR code. Each app is small, focused, and speaks to the system you already have.
Your CMMS speaks English.
Built for global operations — multi-language interfaces so every plant, in every country, works in the language of its own floor.
The same trusted data — finally usable.
The maintenance team now works in an interface built for them, not around the limits of a generic product. Cryptic IDs are gone. Work orders that used to require digging are one search away. Reporting that meant a spreadsheet export is now a live dashboard.
And because the platform is custom, it keeps growing with the plant — a secure single sign-on portal, a visual part catalog, and live scheduled-work-order audit reporting have all been layered on since launch.
“We couldn't believe how affordable it was for something that simply would not have been possible for us without Trago.”
Modern, maintainable, no lock-in.
A pragmatic stack chosen for speed, reliability, and easy handoff — not résumé-driven complexity.
