Maintenance Troubleshooting
Stop solving the same equipment problem from zero.
The fault returns on another shift. Instead of starting cold, the next person can find the symptoms, what the team tried, and the recorded resolution. Keep the troubleshooting story—not just the work-order status.

Direct answer
What should maintenance troubleshooting software preserve?
Useful troubleshooting history should preserve the original symptom, equipment context, investigation, pictures, people involved, findings, and the closing response. Turnover keeps those details connected so prior work can become a starting point instead of a forgotten record.
Close with what actually fixed it
The closing response becomes part of the retained technical record so the next person can see what was tried and what worked.
Find the prior repair fast
Search TechNotes using problem wording, response wording, codes, areas, lines, items, dates, exact terms, AND/OR logic, and supported filters.

Where Turnover fits
Standalone / primarySTART
Small industrial teams can use Turnover as the primary connected industrial work workspace.
ComplementaryALONGSIDE

Migration / consolidationWHEN READY
Existing data can be mapped and migrated through supported import or assisted migration paths without claiming connectors that are not built.
Common questions
Questions buyers ask before they start.
Is Turnover a CMMS?
Turnover can complement a CMMS by preserving troubleshooting and operational context that often does not fit cleanly in the formal work-order record. It can also serve smaller teams as a broader primary operational workspace.
Can I search old fixes by symptom instead of work-order number?
Yes. TechNote search supports problem and response wording plus equipment, codes, dates, exact terms, AND/OR logic, and other supported filters.
Can unfinished troubleshooting transfer to the next person?
Yes. LiveNotes support ownership and transfer so work can continue without losing the existing thread.
Start small and scale
Use the smallest real workflow that proves value.
Turnover Core starts at $75 per month for 5 seats. Additional Core seats are $15 per month each, and Founding Customer Turnover Intelligence is an optional Program-wide add-on at +$10 per user/month for every user in the Program, 50% off the planned +$20 standard rate. Local Admin controls which authorized users can access specific Intelligence capabilities. Larger plant or multi-site deployments can use a guided path.
From the field
A relay clicked, but the machine still didn't respond.
The history preserved damaged-cable evidence, misleading symptoms, and checks worth keeping for the next technician.
