ReFitIQ is a tear-down record for people who take machines apart and have to put them back together weeks later.

You photograph a part as it comes off, stick a QR label on the bag it goes into, scan the label, and say what it is. The app keeps the photo, the voice note, the fasteners you counted and where on the machine it came from. When the job is back together, or handed to someone who wasn't there for the tear-down, all of it is still there.

WHAT IT REPLACES

A phone camera roll with four hundred photos nobody can tell apart. A whiteboard. A bag of screws with masking tape on it that says "cabinet?". The person who did the tear-down being off sick the week it goes back together.

HOW IT WORKS

Scan or type a label for the bag. Take a photo. Hold the volume button if your hands are full. Record a voice note and the app writes it down for you. Count the fasteners: size, length, head, drive, material. Mark what needs replacing.

Later, anyone on the job can scan that same label from anywhere in the shop and the app tells them which machine it belongs to and opens the file.

FOR THE PERSON ORDERING PARTS

Everything marked "needs replacement" adds up into one list per machine, grouped by what you would actually order: eight of a 1/4-20 by one inch hex in 316 stainless, not eight separate lines. Tick them off as they arrive. Export the whole job to Excel, CSV, JSON or PDF, or pull every photo down as a zip.

BUILT FOR MORE THAN BOATS

It started in a working boatyard on a refit, which is why the language defaults to boats. It also runs on automotive and heavy construction equipment, and the app uses your trade's words: a vessel, a vehicle or a machine, with the fastener and hardware types that trade actually uses.

WORKS WHERE THE WORK IS

Boatyards and shop floors have bad signal. Your machine list and your part files open from the phone first and refresh in the background, so you are not staring at a spinner. You can download a whole job — every part file and every photo — to the phone before you go out to it, and read it all with no signal at all. Photos and voice notes taken offline upload themselves when the signal comes back.

FOR THE SHOP

Four roles, so a tech sees the machines they are assigned to, a parts person sees every machine read-only, and an admin sees and decides everything. Assign people to departments — rigging, electrical, hydraulics, whatever your shop is actually split into — and filter any machine by them. Assign tasks. Approve or deny a request to replace a part rather than finding out after it is ordered.

WHAT IT IS NOT

It is not an inventory system and it does not price anything. It records what came off a specific machine on a specific job, so the same machine can be put back together correctly.

A ReFitIQ account is created at refit-iq.com. Your shop's subscription is managed there too — there is nothing to buy inside the app.
