Yes, GoCodes integrates with maintenance management systems (CMMS), enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms, and quality management software through APIs and data exports. Common integrations include pushing calibration due dates to maintenance schedules, syncing equipment lists with ERP fixed asset records, and exporting calibration compliance reports to quality management dashboards. For customers already using GoCodes for asset tracking or maintenance management, calibration functionality integrates seamlessly, equipment records simply gain calibration scheduling and certificate storage without duplicate data entry. If you use separate systems, GoCodes provides CSV exports and API access for custom integrations.

GoCodes combines equipment asset tracking with calibration management in one mobile-first platform, while traditional calibration software only handles calibration scheduling without equipment location tracking. GoCodes costs $599-1,199 annually versus $3,000-20,000 for GageTrak or Beamex. Gocodes includes custom QR code labels (which competitors charge $2-5 per label), works fully offline from mobile devices (competitors require desktop access or limited mobile apps), and sets up in 30 minutes versus months-long implementations. The key difference is integration. GoCodes users track equipment location, calibration status, maintenance history, and usage assignments in one unified system rather than maintaining separate platforms that never sync.

Maintenance management focuses on equipment repairs, preventive maintenance schedules, work order tracking, and keeping equipment operational. Calibration management focuses on measurement accuracy, regulatory compliance, instrument traceability, and ensuring equipment produces valid measurements. Maintenance asks “Does this equipment work?” while calibration asks “Does this equipment measure correctly?” Many organizations need both. Maintenance keeps equipment running while calibration keeps measurements accurate. GoCodes uniquely combines both functions in one platform, allowing maintenance teams and quality teams to work from shared equipment records. This integration prevents situations where maintenance schedules equipment for service during calibration windows, or quality managers can’t find equipment for calibration because it’s assigned to job sites.

Yes, GoCodes works using smartphones and tablets without requiring special apps or scanners. Field technicians scan the QR codes that have been placed on the equipment, using their phone camera. They can access calibration procedures, tolerance specifications and historical data. They record measurements, document pass/fail results, take photos of equipment or calibration setups, and upload certificates directly from mobile devices. Offline mode captures all data when connectivity isn’t available, then automatically syncs when returning to network coverage. This mobile-first approach eliminates the double entry that plagues desktop-only calibration systems where technicians record results on paper forms, then transcribe to office computers, creating transcription errors and wasting time.

GoCodes calibration management starts at $599/year for up to 250 assets and includes software access, custom calibration QR code labels, unlimited users, unlimited certificate storage, mobile access, automated notifications, compliance reporting, and customer support. Competitors like GageTrak ($3,000-10,000/year), Beamex ($5,000-20,000/year), and IndySoft ($2,500-8,000/year) charge substantially more, sell labels separately, limit users or certificate storage, require lengthy implementations, and add fees for mobile access or API integrations. The pricing difference exists because traditional calibration software targets enterprise laboratories and large manufacturers, while GoCodes serves the mid-market companies (250-2,000 employees) that need professional calibration management without enterprise complexity or cost. ROI typically comes from eliminating missed calibrations that cause quality failures, a reduction in audit preparation time, and ending manual spreadsheet administration.

Yes. Each asset record includes a full calibration history with time-stamped logs, technician details, and attached certificates. Reports can be exported instantly for internal audits or compliance reviews (e.g., ISO 9001, FAA, OSHA).

You can set recurring schedules and custom reminder thresholds per tool type. Automatic email or in-app alerts notify responsible personnel before equipment goes out of calibration, reducing downtime and compliance risks.

A calibration management system is software that automates the tracking, scheduling, and documentation of equipment calibration activities to ensure measurement accuracy and regulatory compliance. The system maintains digital records of when equipment was calibrated, who performed the work, what the results were, and when the next calibration is due. Core functions include automated calibration scheduling with reminder notifications, digital certificate storage and retrieval, calibration history tracking with complete audit trails, vendor and laboratory management for external calibration services, and compliance reporting for ISO, FDA, and industry standards. Organizations use calibration management systems to replace manual spreadsheet tracking that leads to missed calibration intervals, lost certificates, and audit preparation chaos.

Calibration management systems work by creating a digital record for each piece of equipment requiring calibration, then automating the scheduling and documentation workflow. Start by entering equipment details including calibration interval (30 days, 6 months, annual, etc.), tolerance specifications, and responsible parties. The system automatically calculates next calibration due dates and sends email or SMS reminders to technicians and quality managers at configurable intervals before due dates. When technicians perform calibrations, they access equipment records via desktop or mobile devices, record measurement results and pass/fail status, upload calibration certificates from labs or internal calibration work, and document any out-of-tolerance findings requiring corrective action. The system maintains permanent calibration history showing every calibration event with dates, technicians, results, and attached certificates.
