Work Order Management

Modern work orders for modern teams

Canary helps maintenance teams run every job from request to closed record. Assign the right technician, attach the right procedure, and see status across the plant in real time.

The Challenge

Critical issues with reactive inventory management.

[01]

Scattered Requests

Maintenance requests disappear across emails, calls, and paper forms, delaying response times.

[02]

Limited Visibility

Without live dashboards, it's impossible to know what is overdue, blocked, or completed.

[03]

Disconnected Teams

Managers spend hours assigning work, chasing updates, and manually tracking progress.

[04]

Inconsistent Execution

Maintenance requests disappear across emails, calls, and paper forms, delaying response times.

The solution

Plan, schedule, and record work all in one place

[Create]

Turn incoming work into a clear plan

Prepare every job before it reaches the technician.
  • Create work orders from requests or preventive maintenance schedules.
  • Add the job details: asset, priority, due date, and procedure.
  • Schedule the work with team capacity in view.

[Assign]

Give technicians a clear handoff

Keep every assignment clear from handoff through completion.
  • See each technician’s work and recent activity.
  • Keep the job context together: procedures, planned parts, comments, and history.
  • Record the result: notes, readings, labor time, and parts used.

[Track]

See where every job stands

Keep ownership and progress visible from assignment through closeout.
  • See the current job: asset, location, assignee, and due date.
  • Follow its progress: comments, status changes, and assignment updates.
  • Keep the history: who changed what and when.

We used to lose hours tracking down parts across spreadsheets and storerooms. Canary gave us real-time visibility into every part, every location. Stockouts dropped, carrying costs fell, and our technicians finally have what they need when they need it.
