Describe your assets and service intervals. Makeform creates a form for scheduling preventive work and logging tasks, readings, parts, findings, and next-due triggers.
Route maintenance records to Slack, Google Sheets, and Zapier.

From calendar to service record
Connect each planned visit to the asset, required work, findings, and next trigger.
Use site, area, asset tag, and equipment type so records stay with the correct unit.
Give technicians consistent tasks, with conditional sections for each asset class.
Close with the next date or meter threshold, completion state, and follow-up owner.
Built around real PM triggers
Match the trigger to the equipment and record its value again at completion.
Plan weekly, seasonal, quarterly, or annual work with dates and assignees.
Use mileage, runtime, cycles, or counts when usage drives service.
Route abnormal readings, wear, leaks, or failures to corrective work.
Show the right tasks after an equipment type is selected.
Preventive maintenance workflow
Capture planned details and completion evidence in one consistent structure.
Specify what you maintain, how it becomes due, who owns it, and its required checks.
Add asset lists, require readings, and show checklists conditionally by equipment type.
Send the form with the assignment so technicians open the checklist at the asset.
Review submissions, assign corrective work, and use the next trigger for planning.
Form vs calendar vs paper log
An online form carries the asset, plan, checklist, findings, and next trigger together.
Field guide
Cover the asset, trigger, owner, required work, result, and next cycle.
Asset identity
Structured identifiers keep records together and help technicians find the right unit.
Schedule & ownership
Record whether service is driven by date, usage, or condition, plus its owner and scheduling window.
Work instructions
Use observable tasks and conditional sections for each asset class.
Completion record
Distinguish planned work from completed work with timestamps, readings, materials, and notes.
Exceptions & evidence
Capture severity, immediate action, photos, and an owner so failed checks enter the corrective queue.
Next service
End every visit with the next date or meter threshold and any interval change.

Answers for teams organizing recurring equipment care.
It plans recurring equipment service and records completion. It identifies the asset, trigger, technician, tasks, readings, parts, findings, follow-up, and next date or meter threshold.
Include site, asset ID, equipment type, interval, due trigger, assignee, and work-order reference. Add tasks, readings, times, parts, photos, exceptions, follow-up owner, completion, and next trigger.
Yes. Use asset-type selection and conditional sections for HVAC, pumps, vehicles, electrical equipment, or production assets while keeping shared schedule and completion fields consistent.
Collect the current reading, interval, and due threshold at scheduling, then the completion reading and next threshold. This preserves context a calendar date lacks.
Publish a link technicians can open on a phone, tablet, or computer. Structured asset choices, checkboxes, uploads, and short measurement fields make on-site completion practical.
Use pass, fail, or not-applicable choices. On failure, show fields for defect, priority, action, photos, owner, and target date, then route corrective work separately.
Yes. Makeform is unlimited free for generating, editing, publishing, and collecting responses. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.
Responses arrive in your Makeform inbox. Connect Google Sheets, Slack, or Zapier for reviewing work, planning follow-ups, and maintaining asset records.
Give every due asset a clear path to completion.
