Your customers, their sites, your equipment and the work to prepare, in one place. Hono connects office staff and technicians before the visit begins.

## Start with equipment you can identify.

Hono is equipment management and work order preparation software developed by Devlab in Tahiti. Its first module covers air-conditioning maintenance. Office staff organise customers, sites and equipment; each technician views their assigned work orders online.

### Equipment in context

Link each item to its site and customer. Find the information needed before preparing a visit.

### Guided preparation

Choose the site, equipment, desired date and assigned professional. Review the summary before creating the work order.

### Assignments on mobile

Signed-in technicians can view the work orders assigned to them, including the site and associated equipment.

## Prepare the visit before heading out.

A work order starts with a specific site. Select the equipment involved, then assign a professional. Everyone can access the same preparation context.

### Identify your equipment

Create the customer, their sites and the equipment to manage.

### Prepare the work order

Set the scope, desired date and assigned professional.

### View it in the field

The professional finds their assignments in the mobile workspace.

Guided preparation · a desired date is not a confirmed appointment.

## Prepared work, close at hand.

On their phone, professionals view the prepared work assigned to them. Sites and equipment are attached to each work order.

- Assignments for the signed-in professional
- Site and equipment details
- Search and filters within the loaded list

An Internet connection is required. Work reports, photo capture, signatures and offline synchronisation are not yet available.

## Built for air-conditioning teams.

Maintenance teams need to know which units are on each site and which are included in a visit. Hono organises that equipment and prepares assignments. The foundation also supports a generic inspection profile without mandatory air-conditioning fields.

## A clear scope for your project.

### Available in the software

- Customers, sites and equipment
- Air-conditioning or generic inspection profile

The demonstration covers available functions. We agree on the scope of your installation and any required development before putting it into use.

## Your work, your team, your installation.

### Start with a typical visit

### Define your scope

Equipment types, sites, users and field requirements: the demonstration checks how the software fits your work.

## Before equipping your team.

### What is Hono?

Hono is equipment management and work order preparation software published by Devlab in Tahiti. It connects customers, sites, equipment and assigned professionals. Its first business module covers air-conditioning maintenance.

### Is Hono a CMMS for air-conditioning maintenance?

Hono is building a computerised maintenance management system (CMMS), starting with an air-conditioning module. The available scope covers equipment, work order preparation and consultation. Work execution, reports and offline use are not yet available.

### Who is Hono for in French Polynesia?

Hono is intended for air-conditioning maintenance businesses and teams that need to identify equipment across several sites and prepare work orders. Devlab, based in Tahiti, reviews your equipment, users and field requirements with you before defining the installation.

### Can Hono manage several customers and sites?

Yes. Hono lets you create customers, their sites and associated equipment. A prepared work order concerns one site and explicitly selected equipment. The company using Hono is distinct from the customers it manages in the software.

### Can technicians use Hono on mobile?

Yes. The field workspace lets a signed-in professional view assigned work orders online, with the associated sites and equipment. It currently supports consultation, not the entry of completed work reports.

### Does Hono work offline?

Not yet. Field consultation requires an Internet connection. Offline synchronisation and recording work without connectivity remain to be developed. If your team works in areas with limited coverage, this needs to be discussed from the start.

### Can Hono record photos, signatures or invoices?

These functions are not yet available in Hono. The current scope prepares work orders; it does not yet produce work reports, photos, signatures, acceptance documents or invoices.

### Does Hono confirm appointments or recurring maintenance?

A prepared work order includes a desired date and an assigned professional. The date does not constitute a confirmed appointment. Appointment confirmation and automatic recurring maintenance plans are outside the available scope described here.

### Can Hono manage equipment other than air conditioning?

The foundation separates shared equipment data from business-specific information. A generic inspection profile already exists without mandatory air-conditioning fields. Other activities must be reviewed with Devlab to check whether the available data and workflows fit.

### What does Hono cost and how do I request a demo?

Pricing and scope are defined with Devlab according to your company, equipment and required functions. Contact contact@devlab.io or request a demonstration from this page. Requesting a demonstration does not start a subscription or a payment.
