ORCA

Organizational Reliability and Cell Analytics

Maintenance software from someone who has carried the wrench.

ORCA is a mobile CMMS built only for maintenance: trouble calls, parts inventory and preventive maintenance in one place, priced so a department that is already a cost can afford it.

Maintenance is a cost center. The software should not be one too.

Over 30 years I worked as a technician and a manager in automation, aviation, machine shops and general manufacturing. The hardest part was always the same: keeping track of the equipment.

I tested one CMMS after another. Most were an add-on to some other piece of software, so maintenance was never the main focus, and the price was hard to justify for a department that already costs the company money.

So I built ORCA around the people who actually do the work: operators who report a problem, technicians who fix it, and managers who need to see what is down and what it cost.

What is in the box

Everything a maintenance floor runs on

Works on a phone, tablet or computer. Install it to the home screen and it opens like an app.

Trouble calls

Operators report a problem in seconds, with a machine-down flag so urgent work stands out. Technicians update status, add notes and close it out.

Assets and hours

Every machine in one list. Operators log running hours with a single tap on the asset.

Preventive maintenance

Build PM tasks for each asset, or start from a ready-made template and adjust it.

Parts inventory

Part numbers, quantities on hand, reorder points and shelf locations. Import your whole list from a spreadsheet.

Parts linked to repairs

Record the parts used on each ticket and tie parts to the assets that use them, so history builds itself.

Notes, photos and messages

Every ticket keeps its own repair hours, technician notes, pictures and message thread, with the author on each entry.

Printable repair reports

Open any past ticket and print or save a full PDF report with hours, parts, notes, photos and messages.

Roles that make sense

Admin, manager, technician and operator. Each person sees the screens they need and nothing that gets in the way.

Your data stays yours

Each company is kept separate from every other company. Only what you choose to share is ever visible to anyone else.

What most systems leave out

Share the work, not just the data

Two ORCA features are built around a simple idea: nobody should have to start from scratch or sit on parts someone else needs.

How ORCA is different

Built for maintenance first

Typical CMMS

  • An add-on to other software, so maintenance is not the main focus
  • Priced for large enterprises, hard to justify for a cost center
  • Heavy screens that technicians avoid on the floor
  • Each company works alone, with parts and PM plans kept in separate silos

ORCA

  • Maintenance is the whole product, designed by a maintenance professional
  • A Free plan, then simple monthly or yearly pricing that grows with your asset count
  • Mobile first, with simple screens for operators and technicians
  • Parts sharing and PM template sharing between companies, on your terms

Who uses it

One tool, four jobs

Operator

Reports problems and logs machine hours.

Technician

Works the tickets, adds notes, photos, hours and parts.

Manager

Watches what is down, assigns work and reviews history.

Admin

Manages users, plan and company settings.

Pricing

Pick the size of your floor

Plans are by number of assets. Cancel any time from inside the app. Your account then moves to the Free plan.

About

Built by a maintenance professional

ORCA comes from more than 30 years in maintenance, in technician and management roles across automation, aviation, machine shops and general manufacturing. I am a disabled veteran, and I built ORCA because I got tired of software that was not made for the people turning the wrenches.

It is a small, focused product, and it improves with real shop feedback. If something does not work the way your floor works, tell me.
