BayTrack Maintenance V1 Is Live
After building, testing, and refining BayTrack Maintenance around real shop workflows, V1 is officially live.
BayTrack was built by a diesel mechanic to solve a familiar problem: maintenance data scattered across clipboards, spreadsheets, whiteboards, and disconnected tools.
V1 focuses on one thing above all else — clear, reliable maintenance execution.

What V1 Is (and Is Not)
BayTrack Maintenance V1 is designed to help you run maintenance clearly and consistently.
It is not: - An accounting system - An ERP - A telematics platform - A feature-bloated SaaS trying to do everything
Those things come with complexity that most shops don’t need on day one.
V1 prioritizes reliability, speed, and real-world usability.

Built by Someone Who Uses It
BayTrack Maintenance wasn’t built in a boardroom.
It was built by someone who: - Ran inspections - Wrote work orders - Turned wrenches - Chased down paperwork - Needed maintenance data to be reliable
If a workflow isn’t fast enough for the shop floor, it doesn’t ship.
