Plant equipment, not just “units”Boilers, chillers, cooling towers, pumps and air handlers each carry their own checklist: low-water cutoff, combustion analysis, approach temps, belts and bearings.
Twelve readings, logged in secondsSupply and return water, system and pump pressure, stack temperature, flue CO, suction and discharge, static pressure, amps and volts, with history per piece of equipment.
PM contracts that schedule themselvesCommercial service agreements with set visits per year, covered units and contract pricing. The visits come up on the board when they’re due.
A report for the building managerEvery visit ends with a service report: readings, findings, photos and the repairs you recommend, priced and ready to approve.

Also doing HVAC and refrigeration? Same app, same price book style, and each trade gets its own equipment, readings and checklists. Turn them on together in Settings. Only mechanical and refrigeration? See PROTRA for mechanical & refrigeration.

Questions from mechanical owners

Can one customer have many pieces of equipment?

Yes. A commercial customer can carry every boiler, chiller, tower and pump, each with its own readings and history.

Do you do combustion analysis readings?

Yes. Stack temperature, flue CO and gas pressure are on the boiler checklist and saved with the visit.

Can I run HVAC and mechanical together?

Yes. Turn on both trades. Each keeps its own checklists, readings and price book in the same account.
