It’s been just over a week since BayTrack Maintenance V1 went live.
That timeline is short — and it was intentional.
V1 launched with a narrow focus: clear, reliable maintenance execution.
Inspections, work orders, preventive maintenance, technician time tracking, invoicing, and reporting — without payments, estimates, notifications, or subscriptions turned on.
The goal wasn’t to ship everything. It was to prove the foundation worked in real shops, under real conditions.
Why V1 Was Intentionally Limited
BayTrack Maintenance was never designed to be “V1 forever.”
It was designed to be correct before complete.
Launching without payments, subscriptions, or integrations made it easier to answer one critical question quickly:
Does the core maintenance workflow hold up when people actually use it?
Within days, the answer was clear.
Once that foundation proved stable, the next step wasn’t adding new ideas — it was turning on what was already there.
Turning On the Business Layer
Over the past week, BayTrack Maintenance enabled features that were already built, tested, and gated behind stability:
Online invoice payments and in-person card readers
QuickBooks Online invoice export with duplicate protection
Customer estimates with approval workflows
Notifications for low inventory, PM due, and overdue invoices
Expanded operational and financial reports
Inventory intelligence with audit trails
Warranty tracking and recovery reporting
These weren’t rushed features. They were intentionally held back until the core workflows proved trustworthy.
Subscriptions Are Now Live
With those capabilities enabled, BayTrack Maintenance now offers subscription tiers:
Free — Core maintenance execution
Professional — Payments, accounting integrations, advanced reporting
Pro+ — Future enterprise features
All existing organizations were grandfathered into the Professional tier.
You can still get started without a credit card.
What Hasn’t Changed
BayTrack Maintenance is still not:
An ERP
A telematics platform
A feature-bloated system trying to do everything
The philosophy remains the same:
Make the system trustworthy, complete, and boring — not bigger.
Every feature enabled this week exists to reduce friction around maintenance — not distract from it.
Built for the Shop Floor
BayTrack Maintenance wasn’t built in a boardroom.
It was built by someone who:
Ran inspections
Wrote work orders
Tracked time
Chased down paperwork
Needed maintenance data to be reliable
If a workflow isn’t fast enough for the shop floor, it doesn’t ship — no matter how good it looks on a roadmap.
What’s Next
BayTrack Maintenance will continue to expand carefully, only where it strengthens maintenance execution and operational clarity.
