MaintenanceCheck
Plan customer-site equipment work on your Nextcloud: due board, work orders, checklists, photos, and optional recurring inspections. A Prüfnachweis PDF is operational evidence for your organisation — not a legal certificate and not a third-party conformity statement.
We improve this app with real-world use. Bug reports, rough edges, and ideas help — open a GitHub Issue or write to info@software-by-design.de.
What it does
One schedule for preventive visits and inspection obligations — both driven by the same plan and visit engine. Technicians close job packs in the web UI or the licensed mobile companion.
Work orders
Conditional checklists, photos, kits, skills gates, dispatch, day tours, Servicebericht and van job-pack PDFs.
Inspections
Equipment classes, obligation packs, pass / fail / defect close, and Prüfnachweis operational evidence. Honest wording only — no legal overclaim.
Mobile companion
MN2 seats for field work. Web stays free; mobile needs a named seat on your organisation licence.
Dispatch & tours
Assign technicians, pack day tours, and keep the board and field in sync.
Servicebericht PDFs
Operational reports and van job packs from the same work-order data.
Customer equipment
Track assets on site with plans and visits — one schedule for preventive work.
Accessibility
Targets WCAG 2.1 AA: keyboard use, clear structure, responsive from 320 px.
Works with these modules

- InventoryCheck (optional) — stock and material movements; complements maintenance visits, no shared database. Available now
- ArbeitszeitCheck (optional) — time tracking for jobs on site; a different job from maintenance scheduling. Available now
