Generator & Standby Power Service

No ReKeying — Your Field Data Goes Directly Into the Office System

Your techs write it down in the field, then someone types it into the computer back at the office. No ReKeying means every keystroke in the field becomes a digital record automatically — zero double-entry, zero wasted payroll.

Growth Rate

Generator techs operate at the intersection of life-safety compliance and emergency response. A hospital's CMS audit can fail on the absence of a single monthly load test record. Paper logs kept in the generator room get wet, fade, and disappear — and when a Joint Commission surveyor asks for 12 months of documented test results, 'we ran the test but lost the paper' is not an acceptable answer.

How Rekeying Data Actually Looks in Generator & Standby Power Service

The Scenario

A tech completes a monthly NFPA 110 load test on a hospital's 1,000 kW generator — recording voltage, frequency, transfer time, and coolant temperature on a paper log posted inside the generator room. The service manager re-enters all readings into the CMMS for the hospital's compliance file and again into the OEM warranty portal.

The Real Impact

A transposed voltage reading in the compliance file flags the unit as out-of-spec during a TJC survey — triggering a Corrective Action Plan that costs 20+ hours of documentation remediation time.

What the Research Says

88% of spreadsheets used in multi-step manual data transfer contain errors, with compliance-critical numeric fields showing the highest error rates.

Does This Sound Like Your Generator & Standby Power Service Operation?

  • !Office staff spend hours re-typing technician notes
  • !Errors show up weeks later on invoices
  • !Techs complain the paperwork takes longer than the job

The Cost of Doing Nothing

Every rekeyed record costs $4–$12 in labor and error correction. At 50 jobs/week that is $10K–$30K/year in pure waste. No ReKeying eliminates this entirely — data captured once in the field flows straight to the office.
