IndySoft provides configurable software for calibration tracking, tooling, and maintenance, with options shaped for different industry needs. Its calibration tools include equipment templates, uncertainty calculations, pass/fail readings, alarms, reports, automated emails, barcoding, label printing, and digital sign-offs. Asset management records inventory, repairs, maintenance, asset numbers, validation, historical events, locations, and customized schedules. The tooling utility tracks tools and parts, records historical locations, supports 1D and 2D barcodes, and handles bulk check-in and check-out. A preventive-maintenance module stores asset data, schedules tasks, automates work orders and requests, and provides reporting. The platform supports multiple sites, geographies, languages, and currencies, with interfaces in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese. Deployment options include hosted cloud and on-premises plans; the cloud option needs an internet connection rather than on-premise hardware.
