UpKeep has introduced UpKeep Studio, an innovative app platform that empowers maintenance and operations teams to build, install, and run custom software applications directly within their CMMS—without coding—through an AI-powered builder, curated marketplace, partner program, and concierge service with dedicated engineers.

Quick Intel

  • UpKeep Studio enables no-code custom app creation embedded in the CMMS using AI, a marketplace, or concierge support.
  • AI App Builder lets users describe needs in plain language to generate functional apps with full access to UpKeep’s real data and API.
  • Curated Marketplace launches with 30+ ready-made apps for workflows like asset prioritization, safety tracking, inspection follow-up, impact dashboards, and IFTA compliance.
  • Studio Concierge provides Forward Deployed Engineers for complex, tailored apps starting at $3,000 per month.
  • New Partner Program opens to third-party developers, vendors, and integrators to build and distribute apps to UpKeep’s 400,000+ global users.
  • Studio addresses reliance on spreadsheets and standalone tools by unifying supporting workflows within the CMMS for faster, more secure operations.

UpKeep is transforming how maintenance teams manage supporting workflows with the launch of UpKeep Studio, a powerful app platform integrated directly into its mobile-first Asset Operations Management system. While CMMS platforms excel at handling core work orders, assets, and parts, many critical processes—such as safety tracking, compliance checks, inspections, fleet management, and reporting—continue to rely on spreadsheets, disconnected tools, and fragile integrations. Studio eliminates these gaps by enabling teams to create tailored, data-connected applications without development expertise.

"Maintenance is a $700 billion industry, and most of it still runs on spreadsheets," said Ryan Chan, CEO and founder of UpKeep. "Studio changes that. Instead of buying another standalone tool, teams can describe what they need in plain language and have a working app in minutes, built on their real data and embedded right where they already work."

Three Paths to Custom Applications

Studio provides flexible options to suit teams at different maturity levels:

  • App Marketplace — A curated catalog of ready-to-use apps covering common maintenance needs. Teams can browse, install, and start using apps instantly with no setup. All apps run on UpKeep’s secure, SOC 2 compliant infrastructure and leverage existing authentication.
  • AI App Builder — A conversational interface where users describe requirements in natural language. The AI generates fully functional apps with read/write access to UpKeep’s API, ensuring apps work seamlessly with live operational data.
  • Studio Concierge — For organizations with complex or mission-critical needs, UpKeep assigns dedicated Forward Deployed Engineers to collaborate directly on building sophisticated, custom applications, including advanced data types and workflow automation.

"For decades, maintenance teams have been told to adapt their workflows to fit the software. Studio flips that,” said Nachiket Shiralkar, UpKeep CTO. “We're putting the power of AI directly in the hands of the people who know their operations best, the technicians, reliability engineers, and plant managers who live this work every day."

Launch Marketplace Highlights

Studio debuts with more than 30 ready-made apps addressing real-world maintenance challenges, including:

  • Asset Replacement Prioritization (based on historical maintenance costs)
  • Safety Hazard Tracker (for identification, monitoring, and escalation)
  • Inspection Failure Follow-Up Manager (tracks flagged checklist items)
  • Impact Dashboard (role-based KPIs including backlog and completion rates)
  • IFTA Compliance Reporter (mileage, fuel, and MPG tracking for fleet reporting)

Studio Partner Program

UpKeep is also launching the Studio Partner Program, inviting software vendors, system integrators, and consultants to develop and distribute apps to its global community of over 400,000 maintenance and reliability professionals across more than 60 countries. Partners gain access to the App Builder, full UpKeep API, marketplace listing, and UpKeep-managed hosting, security, and delivery.

Availability and Pricing

UpKeep Studio is available immediately. The App Marketplace is included in Premium plans and above. The AI App Builder is accessible on Professional plans and higher. Studio Concierge is offered as a paid add-on starting at $3,000 per month.
