TRAXX vs UpKeep
UpKeep is a well-liked mobile-first maintenance app — work orders, technician workflows, parts. But maintenance management and statutory asset management are different jobs. Schedule II depreciation, CARO 2020 evidence, and a defensible fixed asset register aren't work orders. That's TRAXX.

A maintenance app is not an asset register
Work orders keep machines running. But when the statutory auditor asks for Schedule II depreciation workings, CARO 2020 physical-verification evidence, or the fixed asset register that ties to your balance sheet — a CMMS has nothing to hand over. Those are different systems for different questions.
Maintenance ≠ compliance
A CMMS answers "is the machine healthy?" Your auditor asks "does the register tie to the GL, is depreciation per Schedule II, and were assets physically verified?" TRAXX is built to answer the auditor.
Depreciation is law, not math
Companies Act Schedule II useful lives, IndAS 16 component accounting, parallel IFRS books for foreign parents — TRAXX computes these natively. A maintenance app leaves all of it to your ERP or your CA firm.
Verification needs people
CARO 2020 asks whether fixed assets were physically verified at reasonable intervals. TRAXX delivers verification certificates and reconciliation reports from our own on-site VTR teams — auditor-ready.
