UpKeep, the mobile-first Asset Operations Management platform, has introduced UpKeep Studio, a no-code app platform that allows maintenance and operations teams to build, install, and run custom applications directly inside their CMMS. The goal: eliminate spreadsheets, standalone tools, and fragile integrations that still dominate maintenance workflows.

“Maintenance is a $700 billion industry, and most of it still runs on spreadsheets,” said Ryan Chan, CEO and founder of UpKeep. “Studio changes that. Teams can describe what they need in plain language and have a working app in minutes, built on their real data and embedded right where they already work.”

Three Paths to Custom Apps

UpKeep Studio meets teams at every level of technical expertise:

1. App Marketplace – Browse a curated catalog of ready-to-use apps for common maintenance workflows. Apps require no configuration and run on UpKeep infrastructure with SOC 2 compliant security.

2. AI App Builder – A chat-based interface where users describe the app in plain language and Studio builds it. Apps have full read/write access to the UpKeep API, ensuring they work with real data.

3. Studio Concierge – For complex operations, organizations can work directly with a Forward Deployed Engineer to build tailored apps, unlock custom data types, and replace standalone tools.

“For decades, maintenance teams have been told to adapt their workflows to fit software,” said Nachiket Shiralkar, UpKeep CTO. “Studio flips that. We’re putting the power of AI directly in the hands of the technicians, reliability engineers, and plant managers who live this work every day.”

30+ Apps Available at Launch

UpKeep Studio launches with a variety of apps designed for real maintenance scenarios:

• Asset Replacement Prioritization – Determines which assets to repair or replace based on maintenance costs

• Safety Hazard Tracker – Monitors and escalates safety risks before they become serious incidents

• Inspection Failure Follow-Up Manager – Tracks failed inspection items across work orders

• Impact Dashboard – Role-based KPI dashboards showing backlog, completion rates, and more

• IFTA Compliance Reporter – Prepares fleet compliance reports for mileage, fuel, and MPG

Studio Partner Program

UpKeep is also opening the Studio Partner Program, inviting software vendors, system integrators, and consultants to build and distribute apps to its user base of over 400,000 maintenance professionals in 60+ countries. Partners gain access to the App Builder, full API, and marketplace distribution, while UpKeep manages hosting, security, and delivery.
