Build the asset, location, meter, document, and identifier model.

Control parts and purchasing

Track stock, work-order demand, vendors, orders, and receipts.

Automate and understand

Respond to meter readings, use Ask Canary, and review reports.

Manage your organization

Configure users, teams, features, custom fields, and API keys.

Build trustworthy history

Create locations and assets before linking meters, parts, procedures, and work. Record status changes, readings, stock movements, and work completion on the record where they occurred. Canary can then preserve a useful operational history when master records are archived.
