One phone, from the nameplate to the invoice

The three jobs a route runs on — load it, inspect it, bill it — in one place, so nothing falls between them.

The GaugeRoute review queue on a phone: a nameplate parsed from a photo into a draft asset — serial, manufacturer, model, manufacture date, size, and location — with Confirm asset and Discard buttons and a note that a draft counts only once you confirm it.
An asset's generated service schedule on a phone: annual and 6-year internal inspections marked overdue and a 12-year hydro test on schedule, with a panel to move or lock a due date.

Act one — load the portfolio once

Photograph a nameplate. Confirm the row.

Photograph the maker's plate and GaugeRoute drafts the asset — make, model, manufacture date, agent type, size, location — behind your review queue. No hundreds of assets keyed by hand on your first night.

The AI never creates a record. You approve every row before it counts, and a failed read never counts against your quota.

A guided inspection on a phone mid-stop: an extinguisher's serial with Pass and Log deficiency choices, a gauge-reads-in-the-green check that requires a stamped photo, tamper-seal and nozzle checks, and a Confirm tag record button.
The technician's route day on a phone: a list of buildings with due-asset counts and site access notes, and a pill showing photos and inspections saved on the device to sync when signal returns.

Act two — the route day, offline

Scan the tag. Inspect. Leave the proof.

No signal in the basement? The published route day runs with no network. Scan the tag, walk the guided pass-or-deficiency check, and snap a photo with a timestamp tied to the serial.

Each stop writes a dated tag record that mirrors the physical tag. Records are append-only — a correction is a new row — so the history holds up in a dispute.

A deficiency turned into a quote on a phone: a dented extinguisher flagged on the route, a suggested replacement remedy, a quantity and a price the operator sets, a line total, and a Create quote button.
A sent invoice on a phone: annual inspection and recharge line items, subtotal, tax, total, and outstanding balance, with a panel to record a check, cash, ACH, card, or other payment.
The renewals book on a phone: contracts listed by renewal date with annual values, one lapsed and the rest renewing within the month, each with a Draft renewal letter link.

Act three — the paperwork that pays

Deficiency to quote to invoice — on your rails.

A flagged deficiency suggests a remedy line — recharge, 6-year internal, hydro, or replace — and you set the price. An accepted quote becomes a work order, then an invoice you send on your own rails, in whole cents. We record the money; we never process it.

Annual agreements roll forward in the renewal book, with reminders, and every customer gets a login-free compliance page — the record a fire marshal or an insurer asks for.

A look inside the workspace

The same screens your crew and your office work in — the schedule, the customer record, the owner reports, the dated tag record, and the login-free page you hand a customer.

The due and overdue aging view on a phone: totals for on-schedule, due-soon, and overdue assets, broken out by building, above a note that the counts are informational and measured against your own service schedule.
What's due, by site — measured against your own schedule.
A customer detail on a phone: call, text, and email actions, the customer's sites with asset counts, assets grouped by class, the annual contract value, and a "Share compliance page" button.
Every customer — sites, assets by class, and the contract.
The owner reports list on a phone: due and overdue aging, revenue by site, route-day economics, and deficiency rates.
Owner reports — the numbers behind the route.
A dated tag record on a phone for one extinguisher: the service performed, the date, a pass result, who performed it with their license number, on-device and synced timestamps, and proof-photo entries with time and location.
The dated tag record — append-only, with photo proof.
The customer's login-free service register: who last inspected the site and when, with the operator's license number, a plain note that the operator and the authority having jurisdiction decide the compliance status, and a table of serials, classes, locations, and inspection dates.
The customer's own page — the record a marshal or insurer asks for.

The promise the whole product is built on

AI behind your review. Never in front of it.

GaugeRoute can read a nameplate and draft an asset row for you — but that draft only becomes a record through your hands. Every draft lands in your review queue. You check it, fix what read wrong, and confirm it row by row.

Review-first is architecture here, not a setting you can leave off. There is no path where a drafted row reaches your portfolio without you. The record is one you approved.

You certify the work. We keep the proof.

The licensed operator certifies the inspection; GaugeRoute is the record and the reminder. We never state or imply a site's compliance status — the tag record carries your own license and cert numbers, and the authority having jurisdiction decides the rest.

One route, every screen you work on

GaugeRoute is built for the office desk and the phone at the wall. The web app and the iPhone and Android apps are on the way; everything will stay in sync everywhere you sign in.

A note from the founder

I'm building GaugeRoute because the trade runs on paper tags, a spreadsheet, and QuickBooks that never talk to each other. The cadence lives in someone's head, the proof lives in a filing cabinet, and the invoice gets written twice.

GaugeRoute keeps the whole route in one place — every asset on its schedule, every inspection on the record, and the billing on your own rails. It's flat-priced with your whole crew included, and your data exports with you, always. If it hands you back your evenings, it's earning its keep.
