From scattered records to one history

Which kit is due its next inspection?

The serial number is in a spreadsheet. The inspection report is in a folder. The kit has been handed to someone else.

ArbHub brings those records together, so you can find the item, see who has it and review its checks without piecing the history together.

Can I group equipment into a climber’s kit?

Yes. Group equipment into kits, assign individual items or whole kits to people, and record an optional signature at handover. You can inspect a kit with results for each item.

Can I see when inspections are due?

Yes. The equipment register shows due and overdue inspections. You can set inspection intervals by equipment type and schedule recurring inspection, service and maintenance reminders.

Can ArbHub send push notifications for equipment reminders?
