manufacturing maintenance software: Less downtime, fewer surprises on the floor
Catalyces is maintenance software for in-house plant maintenance teams keeping production machines running. It handles work orders for breakdowns, preventive maintenance plans for scheduled service, a daily working-or-stopped status across the floor, a spare parts store with low stock flagged on the dashboard, and a full history for every machine on the line.

The notes on every Manufacturing whiteboard.
Built for in-house maintenance teams at manufacturing plants, from a single maintenance tech covering one line to a department covering a whole site. Works alongside production, not instead of it.
- A line goes down and nobody can say what caused the last stoppage.
- Spare parts get pulled off the shelf with no record of what left.
- PM gets skipped during a busy run and nobody notices until it breaks.
- Shift handover is a verbal recap, not something the next team can check.
Same work. Less chasing.
Here’s how an ordinary day goes once the jobs, machines and customers live in one place.
- 6:00 am
You check the daily status board before the first shift starts and see which machines ran stopped overnight.
- 10:20 am
A line stops mid-run. You create a breakdown job from the floor and assign it to whoever's closest.
- 1:45 pm
The tech logs the part pulled from the spares store, and the stock count updates itself.
- 4:30 pm
You review what's still open before shift change, so the next team isn't starting blind.
How Catalyces helps Manufacturing teams
A daily status across the whole floor
Mark each machine working or stopped every day. A daily status email shows what's down, so downtime doesn't wait for someone to notice. Shift handover becomes a board anyone can read, not a verbal recap.
Preventive maintenance that doesn't get skipped
Set a PM plan per machine, with checklists and assignees attached, and the work order is created on schedule without anyone remembering. Skip a run during a tight production week or pull one forward before a big order.
A spares store that stays accurate
Issue parts against the work order as they're used, and the stock count drops automatically. Low stock shows up on the dashboard before a tech is standing at an empty shelf.
A history for every machine on the line
Every machine keeps its full repair and PM history, so a new tech sees what was done last time instead of starting from a blank sheet. Breakdown patterns become something you can actually look back at.
