OutageDesk is outage coordination software built by people who run outages. Deploys in days. Works on a phone. Real-time field updates so the coordinator always knows where the work stands — without chasing anyone down.
"We ran the whole outage out of a shared Excel file and a group text."
— Every outage coordinator, every facility, every year
MS Project, Primavera P6 — built for people with time to sit down. Nobody on an active outage has time to learn a scheduling tool, open a laptop, or wait for a sync. The crew is moving. The work is moving. Field updates need to flow back to the coordinator untethered, in real time, from wherever the work is happening. So everyone adapts Excel. Again. And the coordinator pays for it every morning at 5am.
Field crews update progress at end of shift — if at all. By the morning meeting the data is hours old and someone spent their night chasing it.
Scope changes get approved via text at 2am. Verbal approvals happen in the dark on the floor. By the time any of it hits the books, the job is already three moves ahead — and nobody really knows what it's going to cost.
Safety counts, production, cost trend, contractor manning — assembled by hand from five different sources every single morning.
Post-outage critiques get written once and filed. The next outage starts from scratch. The same problems recur because nobody built trend data across events.
Eight purpose-built modules. Activate one or all. No rip-and-replace. No IT project. Start where you are, grow from there.
Schedule management and field progress tracking. Phone-optimized crew view with real-time updates.
Live nowFull cost picture — WO baselines, daily actuals, storeroom issues, EWA costs, and variance vs. budget.
In developmentYour morning report, auto-built. Safety, production, cost trend, and contractor manning — without anyone assembling it.
In developmentExtra work authorization workflow. Create EWAs, route for approval, track status, tie costs to OutageLedger automatically.
PlannedPost-outage review and lessons-learned capture. Generates your critique booklet and builds trend data across outages.
PlannedSafety reporting — pre-job inspections, near-miss tracking, recordables, daily counts. Field-first, no paper forms.
PlannedContractor management. Manning plans, daily headcount, onboarding status, and the contractor directory you rebuild every outage.
PlannedDigital forms engine with approval routing. Inspection forms, daily reports, contractor sign-ins — the paper stack, eliminated.
PlannedThe platform grows with what coordinators actually need. Tell us what you're still running in a spreadsheet.
Talk to us →Every other tool was adapted from something else. This one was built from scratch for the specific, brutal reality of running a major planned outage.
No IT project. No six-month implementation. Upload your schedule, configure your team, run your outage. Live in under a week.
The mechanic doesn't carry a laptop. The field interface is built for thumbs, for gloves, for bad lighting. If it doesn't work on a phone, it doesn't ship.
We get dirty. We work nights. We stand next to mechanics. Every feature started as a real problem from a real job site.
Activate one module or all eight. You don't have to change everything to improve something. Add more as your program matures.
Built on Vercel and Supabase — both SOC 2 Type II certified. Role-based access, row-level security. IT-ready before they ask.
Every outage you run in OutageDesk feeds the next one. Trend data across events is something no spreadsheet can give you.
"Your team updates from their phone. You see it live. No more chasing status."
Real-time field progress, milestone views, phone-optimized crew interface, admin control over data and assignments.
"Know where every work order stands without asking anyone."
Work order tracking, cost variance by area, contractor manning visibility — without pulling from four different systems.
"Schedule, cost, and safety. Every morning. Nobody had to build it."
OutagePulse auto-generates your daily summary. No coordinator time spent on reports.
"SOC 2 compliant. Deployed in days. Replaces 20 years of Excel."
Vercel + Supabase, both SOC 2 Type II. Role-based access, row-level security. Compliance documentation on request.
The work is the same. The vocabulary isn't. OutageDesk adapts to how your sector talks about planned downtime.
Major outages, annual shutdowns, planned maintenance windows. OutageDesk speaks this language natively — built on a real pulp mill outage.

We built this tool because we needed it. We were the coordinator living in Excel, rebuilding the same workbook every outage, chasing field crews for updates, assembling the morning report at 5am. We know exactly what's broken because we've lived it.
We still run outages. We still show up on night shift. That's not a marketing line — it's why the tool works.
Running outages right now — not just selling software
Built on a real major outage — Lewiston 2026

Aligned best practices — every claim is referenced
White papers, benchmarking data, SMRP-aligned best practices, and real-world metrics from facilities running better outages. The reference library we wished existed when we started.
Tell us about your facility and your next outage. We'll show you how OutageDesk fits in under an hour — no sales process, no discovery call theater. Just a coordinator talking to coordinators.
No spam. No sales cadence. A coordinator will reach out directly.
