Stop Managing Insurance Risk on Spreadsheets

OxMaint's Insurance Documentation, Risk Assessment Reports, and Claim Prevention Analytics turn your daily maintenance activity into a premium-reducing, claim-defending evidence record — automatically.

The Problem OxMaint Solves

When an incident occurs — a guest slip, HVAC fire, elevator failure — the first thing an adjuster requests is the maintenance record for that asset. No record means no defence. Most hotels manage PM through spreadsheets and paper logs, producing documentation that is incomplete, inconsistent, and inadmissible when it matters most. OxMaint replaces that exposure with a continuous, automated documentation engine. Book a demo to see how it works for your property type.

!
Missing Maintenance Records

No PM record at the time of an incident = claim denied or reduced. OxMaint auto-generates timestamped, photo-evidenced records for every completed task.

!
Deferred Inspections

Missed NFPA, OSHA, or HSE inspections raise premiums and create liability. OxMaint escalates overdue tasks automatically — no inspection falls through the gap.

!
Reactive Maintenance Cycle

Every emergency repair is a potential claim data point that compounds your loss history. OxMaint shifts the ratio from reactive to planned, reducing the frequency of insurable events.

!
No Risk Evidence at Renewal

Underwriters reward documented risk management with lower rates. Hotels without a structured PM record walk into renewal with no negotiating leverage. OxMaint produces the evidence package.

How OxMaint Solves It — Three Core Modules

01
Insurance Documentation Engine

Every PM completion, corrective action, and sign-off generates a timestamped, photo-evidenced record stored against the asset. When a claim or audit arises, OxMaint exports the full asset maintenance history in an adjuster-ready package — instantly. No manual file search, no missing records.

02
Risk Assessment Reports

OxMaint identifies which assets are overdue, which zones carry the highest liability exposure, and which repeat failures indicate structural risk. These reports are the structured evidence underwriters increasingly require at renewal — and the foundation for a premium negotiation discussion. Book a demo to see a sample report.

03
Claim Prevention Analytics

OxMaint tracks your reactive-to-planned maintenance ratio and surfaces the assets generating the most emergency events — the leading indicators of future claims. Preventing one claim removes a data point from your 3-year loss history that would compound your premium for years. Sign up free to activate analytics from day one.

OxMaint Implementation — From Onboarding to Insurance Readiness



Week 1–2
Asset Register and Risk Mapping

Every HVAC unit, elevator, fire system, electrical panel, pool, and guest area fixture registered with insurance category tagging. OxMaint configures PM schedules against your regional regulatory intervals — no IT project required.



Week 3–4
Automated PM and Corrective Action Workflows

PM work orders generate automatically. Technicians complete tasks on mobile with photo sign-off. Guest area hazards trigger closed-loop corrective action records — timestamped, photo-evidenced — the exact format that defeats premises liability claims.



Day 30
First Risk Assessment Report

OxMaint generates your first Risk Assessment Report — broker-ready evidence of structured risk management. Share this at your next renewal discussion to demonstrate active, documented risk control.


Day 60–90
Premium Negotiation Package Ready

Claim Prevention Analytics surfaces your reactive-to-planned ratio, corrective action close rates, and risk improvement trends — the data that changes the premium conversation at renewal. Book a demo to see the full output.

Security and Data Compliance — Built Into Every Record

Insurance documentation and maintenance records contain sensitive operational and liability data. OxMaint is built on a security-first infrastructure — your data is protected at every layer, audit-ready at every moment, and never shared beyond your organisation.

Data Security
AES-256 Encryption at Rest and in Transit

All maintenance records, inspection photos, and compliance exports are encrypted at rest using AES-256 and in transit using TLS 1.3. Your insurance documentation is as secure as the assets it protects.

Access Control
Role-Based Permissions and Full Audit Trails

Every record access, edit, and export is logged with user identity and timestamp. Role-based permissions ensure technicians, managers, and insurers see only what they are authorised to access.

Compliance
GDPR, PDPA, and Regional Data Residency

OxMaint complies with GDPR for UK and EU operations, PDPA for Singapore and SE Asia, and regional data residency requirements for Saudi Arabia and UAE — your operational data stays in your jurisdiction.

Availability
99.9% Uptime SLA with Redundant Infrastructure

OxMaint operates on redundant cloud infrastructure with a 99.9% uptime SLA — records are available 24/7, including at the exact moment an adjuster, inspector, or underwriter requests them.

Record Integrity
Tamper-Evident Timestamped Records

Every work order completion is timestamped at the server level — records cannot be backdated or altered after close-out. This tamper-evident chain of custody makes OxMaint records defensible in insurance disputes and regulatory audits.

Backup
Automated Daily Backups with Point-in-Time Recovery

All maintenance history is backed up daily. Your full PM record — the record that protects warranty claims and insurance disputes — is never at risk from hardware failure, accidental deletion, or a cyberattack.
