Preventive maintenance software: schedule PMs by date or meter reading
FindThings IQ schedules preventive maintenance by calendar, by meter reading (run-hours or cycles), or both. Due PMs land in the work queue with their checklist, and closing a job restarts the cycle from that date or reading. It is part of Office Premium ($149.00 / month).

From reactive to preventive
- Work queue
- Due and overdue PMs, open repairs and requests in one list.
- PM checklists and inspections
- Every step needs an answer; failures can require a comment, photo and signature, and open a repair.
- Maintenance due report
- What is due soon and what is overdue, across assets.
- Downtime and MTBF
- See whether planned work is reducing failures.
Compliance and proof
- Compliance dashboard
- Expired certificates, overdue inspections and late maintenance, printable for an inspector.
- Maintenance history on the asset
- Every PM and repair with parts, time and cost.
- Tamper-evident log
- Each change is chained to the one before, so edits show up when checked.
Frequently asked questions
- Can preventive maintenance be based on run-hours?
- Yes. Record meter readings in hours or cycles and schedule the PM every N units, by calendar, or both.
- Do PMs create work orders automatically?
- Due PMs appear in the work queue as jobs with their checklist; a technician opens and closes them.
- Can technicians do PMs offline?
- Yes, on Office Premium the job list, steps, time, notes and photos work with no signal and sync later.
- Is there a free trial?
- Yes. Paid plans start with a 14-day free trial.
Not the right tool if you need
- IT asset discovery or device management: there is no network scanning, agent or MDM.
- GPS or telematics tracking of vehicles and moving equipment.
- Certified audits or compliance attestation (OSHA, EPA, ISO, HIPAA): FindThings keeps the records, it does not certify them.
- A contractual uptime SLA: availability is best effort.
- Replacing an ERP or accounting system: financial output is depreciation, Cost-to-Keep and a depreciation journal file.
- Predictive maintenance from sensors or IoT: meter readings are entered by people, not streamed.
