A logo with a stylized mountain composed of two silver triangles, the right triangle has a red background with white lines and circles resembling a circuit. Below it, the text reads "TRI-TRACK" in metallic letters, with "TRI" in bronze and "TRACK" in silver.

Tri-Track was born from years of working in the repair industry and seeing the same problems come through the door — maintenance that wasn’t intentionally ignored, but simply forgotten; inspections and appointments that slipped through the cracks; and equipment history that was difficult to find when it was needed most.

We wanted a better way to bring all of that information together, and that idea became Tri-Track. From trucks and heavy equipment to agricultural machinery and stationary assets, Tri-Track gives organizations one place to manage their equipment records, maintenance, inspections, parts, and inventory.

Manage your equipment. Manage your maintenance. Manage your inventory.

The background features construction and farming vehicles, including a tractor, a truck, and an excavator, with various location markers and a digital map indicating equipment locations. The image also includes a cloud icon with a mountain symbol, denoting cloud storage.

I grew up in rural Manitoba, where my father owned a repair shop, so working around vehicles, equipment, and the repair industry has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.

I attended Red River College and became a Red Seal Automotive Service Technician in 2019, with a particular interest in vehicle electrical systems and communications. In 2021, I challenged and earned my Heavy Duty Equipment Technician Red Seal.

Moving into a management role at our family repair shop gave me a different perspective on the industry. I began seeing problems I hadn’t necessarily noticed while working primarily on the shop floor — missed maintenance, forgotten inspections, incomplete equipment records, and repairs that could have been better planned for.

Equipment repair will always be necessary, but I believe a lot of downtime and unexpected repairs can be reduced through better organization and preventive maintenance. That belief ultimately led me to create Tri-Track: a practical tool built from real experience to help businesses stay ahead of their equipment, rather than waiting for something to go wrong.
