Built for transit mechanics who
fix buses, not learn software.
AR-guided PMs, HV LOTO, and pre-trip inspections on iPad or Quest 3 — your fleet's tribal knowledge, captured and searchable.
Three things every Maintenance Director
is losing sleep over.
We built this for Carlos — the 48-year-old Director of Vehicle Maintenance who came up from mechanic and now runs 3 depots and 120 techs. If you know Carlos, you know the pain.
Your best mechanics are retiring
Three to five senior techs walk out the door every year — and 20 years of tribal knowledge walks with them. New hires take 6–12 months to reach the same competency, and the paper binders don't teach the tricks.
HV LOTO on an electric bus is one skipped step from a fatality
Battery-electric and hydrogen fleets mean 600V+ powertrains in your bay. There is no forgiveness on lockout / tagout order — and a photocopied checklist doesn't verify the tech actually did each step.
FTA audits demand records nobody keeps updated
Section 5307/5311 grants and CARB ZEB compliance require timestamped maintenance evidence. Your current answer is a clipboard, an Excel file, and a hope that Miguel remembered to sign it before shift change.
Your mechanic's shift, digitized end-to-end.
No new hardware, no headset training curve. Every step shipping today on a paired shared iPad in the bay.
- 01
Operator logs in on the shared iPad
Bay iPad stays paired to the depot. Mechanic signs in and picks the guide for the coach they're working — no per-tech device. The same flow runs on Quest 3 hands-free, and on a phone when the tech is away from the bay.
- 02
Steps up on screen, hands on the bus
Each step shows what to do with photos, torque specs, and part numbers. Tap Pass, Fail or Skip per step — a Fail asks for a comment and a photo, and every tap is timestamped. On Quest 3 the same verdicts are spoken, gloves on.
- 03
Reference the OEM manual without leaving the flow
Tap the 'i' button on any step to open the linked reference PDF (New Flyer PM manual, ADA lift service bulletin, brake spec sheet). Never search a network drive mid-job again.
- 04
Two technicians sign off
Mechanic and a second technician or supervisor sign with a finger or Apple Pencil on the same iPad, printed names alongside. The guide locks and the record is complete.
- 05
Branded PDF inspection report — instantly
Every verdict, comment, photo and both signatures land in a PDF with your agency's logo, downloadable the moment the guide closes. Email delivery to a supervisor or compliance mailbox is available on request.
Every tap timestamped. Both signatures captured. The branded PDF report is ready the moment the guide closes.
Every tool your shop is using today —
and why it's costing you.
What multi-depot agencies actually asked for.
Hands-free on Quest 3 — gloves stay on
$499 headset, not $3,500. The tech says "next", "Pass", "Fail", dictates the issue and says "take photo" — the passthrough camera captures the evidence. Same guide as the iPad, no separate authoring.
Safety mode for HV LOTO
On a 600V+ isolation procedure nobody skips ahead: Next stays locked until the step has a verdict, and the sidebar won't let a tech jump to step 12 from step 4. Order enforced, not suggested.
Work Orders tied to a bay and a coach
Assign the PM to a site and an asset, track it OPEN through CLOSED, attach notes and photos, and read the KPIs across depots. The work order and the completed procedure are one record.
Two-technician sign-off, branded PDF
Mechanic and a second technician or supervisor sign on the iPad, printed names alongside. Verdicts, comments, photos and both signatures land in a PDF with your agency's logo — ready for the FTA reviewer.
Built for agencies with 50–500 buses, mixed diesel/EV fleets, and 3–15 shop mechanics.
If that's you, we already speak your language — CalACT, APTA, FTA Section 5307/5311, ATU shop-floor sensitivities, CARB ZEB compliance, and the reality that half your bays don't get Wi-Fi. No AR-vendor gauntlet, no six-figure minimum, no six-month deployment.
