PMs by calendar or hour meter
Choose how each PM falls due when you set its schedule, and its work order arrives before then.
- Calendar. Daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly.
- Hour meter. Every set number of running hours, such as every 500.
- Either. Whichever comes first triggers the work order.

Where UpKeep is ahead
UpKeep doesn't charge for view-only, requester, or third-party users. It has its own connections to SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and Microsoft Dynamics, and sends purchase orders and labor costs to your accounting platform.
