About the Project

Developed by a practitioner for practitioners

Iwan Gerber

The Idea

With over 10 years of experience in industrial maintenance and as a certified Industrial Master Metalworking, I know the daily challenges maintenance teams face firsthand: paper lists, spreadsheets, lack of overview, and information loss during shift changes.

I know exactly what matters in practice – and where things go wrong. My goal is to develop a tool that addresses exactly these problems - simple, practical, and without complicated onboarding processes.

"Simplicity and practicality come first. Software is only useful when it's actually used."

- Iwan Gerber, Industrial Master Metalworking
