Today, we're excited to announce the acquisition of UptimePM, a maintenance management platform built specifically for the scrap and recycling industry.
As part of the acquisition, UptimePM will become ReSparkPM, expanding the ReSpark product suite with purpose-built tools for asset management, inspections, work orders, preventative maintenance, parts inventory, and maintenance spending.
Why Equipment Maintenance?
Equipment is the backbone of every recycling operation.
Material handlers, cranes, balers, shredders, shears, trucks, and trailers keep material moving and operations productive. When equipment is unavailable, production slows, schedules are disrupted, and costs increase.
Yet many maintenance teams still rely on spreadsheets, paper forms, whiteboards, and disconnected systems to manage critical maintenance processes.
By bringing UptimePM into the ReSpark family, we're helping recyclers gain greater visibility into equipment performance, standardize maintenance processes, and reduce unplanned downtime.
A Natural Fit
Founded by recycling industry veterans, UptimePM was built to address the unique challenges recyclers face when managing equipment across one or multiple facilities.
Unlike generic maintenance software, UptimePM was designed specifically for the equipment, workflows, and operational realities of scrap and recycling businesses.
That philosophy aligns perfectly with ReSpark's approach to software development.
Just as ReSpark was built specifically for recyclers, so was UptimePM.
Together, we're creating a stronger ecosystem of software solutions designed to help recyclers manage every aspect of their operation.
Introducing ReSparkPM
As ReSparkPM, customers will continue to have access to the same trusted maintenance platform while benefiting from the resources, support, and long-term vision of the ReSpark team.
ReSparkPM helps recyclers:
- Track assets throughout their lifecycle
- Manage preventative maintenance programs
- Create and complete work orders
- Standardize inspections with QR codes
- Track parts and consumables inventory
- Manage maintenance purchasing and spending
- Improve visibility across facilities
- Reduce downtime and extend asset life
The platform will continue to evolve based on customer feedback and the needs of the recycling industry.
What This Means for Customers
For existing UptimePM customers, day-to-day operations remain unchanged.
Customers will continue using the platform they know and trust while gaining access to expanded resources and ongoing investment from ReSpark.
For ReSpark customers, ReSparkPM adds another purpose-built solution to help manage the operational side of recycling.
Together, ReSpark now offers solutions for:
giving recyclers access to one of the industry's most comprehensive software ecosystems.
Looking Ahead
This acquisition represents another step forward in ReSpark's commitment to building software specifically for recyclers.
