FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about OxMaint's Shift Logbook capabilities.

You can log virtually any shift activity including: equipment status changes (running, down, idle), maintenance activities, production observations, safety incidents and near misses, quality issues, visitor logs, weather conditions affecting operations, handover notes, and general observations. Each entry is timestamped and can include photos, voice notes, and category tags. All logs are searchable and become part of your permanent digital record.

At the end of your shift, you create handover notes documenting pending tasks, ongoing issues, and important observations. The system auto-generates a shift summary including all log entries, equipment status, and incidents. When the incoming shift operator clocks in, they see your handover notes prominently displayed and must acknowledge receipt before proceeding. This ensures critical information is never lost between shifts.

Yes! OxMaint's mobile app works offline. You can create log entries, update equipment status, and complete handovers even without an internet connection. All data is stored locally on your device and automatically syncs when connectivity is restored. This is essential for facilities with spotty WiFi coverage or field operations.

Shift logs capture observations, activities, and handover information during a shift—they're your digital record of what happened. Work orders are actionable tasks with assignments, due dates, and completion workflows. However, they work together seamlessly: a log entry about a problem can trigger a work order, and work order completions automatically appear in the shift log. Both are linked to the same assets and locations.

Absolutely. Supervisors and managers can access shift logs from anywhere via the web dashboard or mobile app. You can set up automatic email reports that deliver shift summaries daily or weekly. Real-time notifications alert managers to critical incidents or equipment downtime. This gives leadership visibility into operations 24/7 without being on-site.

Streamline your shift handovers today.

Eliminate communication gaps between shifts. Digital logbooks ensure nothing falls through the cracks. Reduce handover time by 70%.
