Calibration management software

Keep the full calibration record chain in one shared system: instrument status, due dates, completed work, certificates, exceptions and audit evidence.

The short version

Calibration management software should control one traceable loop: inventory, due dates, calibration results, certificates, exceptions and audit evidence. Gaugelog gives quality teams at small and midsize manufacturers one current register, sends reminders without waiting for someone to open a file, keeps each result and certificate with its instrument, and exports the audit record as one pack. It is cloud software with public pricing by active instrument and unlimited users. Teams can start with 30 instruments on Free and keep the same workflow as the register grows.

What a real system must cover

The category is easier to evaluate as a chain of control than as a feature checklist. Break any link below and the records stop telling the whole story.

A controlled inventory

Every instrument needs a stable identity, current status, location and owner. Gaugelog keeps control number and serial number separate, preserves retired history and makes the current register searchable.

A schedule that acts without being opened

Intervals and completed records calculate the next due date. Email reminders run at 30, 14 and 7 days, on the due date, and weekly while an active instrument remains overdue.

Records tied to the instrument

Each calibration stores who performed it, as-found and as-left results, standards, pass or fail decisions and the certificate. The record stays with the instrument instead of in a separate folder tree.

Exceptions that cannot disappear

An out-of-tolerance result carries product-impact review, notifications, corrective action and closure. Changes to the register and records also enter an attributable, append-only audit trail.

Evidence you can inspect before buying

The audit pack exports the register, due list, calibration history, out-of-tolerance events and certificate index as one PDF. The sample is generated by Gaugelog from fictional data.

Who Gaugelog fits

Gaugelog is for quality teams that manage their organization's own gauges, test equipment and measuring instruments. It fits when several people need one current register, reminders must run without one owner opening a file, and audit evidence has to survive a handover.

Move beyond spreadsheet upkeep

A spreadsheet records what someone remembers to maintain. Gaugelog adds reminders that run unattended, one shared register, linked certificates and history, an attributable change trail and a one-export audit pack. Existing MSA, Gage R&R or crib tools can stay focused on those specialist jobs while Gaugelog runs the calibration record chain.

The next step is to test the evidence

Download the sample audit pack and check whether its register, due list, calibration history and exception trail answer your auditor's questions. If they do, start with the Free plan or import a copy of the spreadsheet you already maintain.

Product scope

  • Built for quality teams that manage their organization's own gauges, test equipment and measuring instruments.
  • Covers the operational record chain: register, schedules, reminders, completed calibrations, certificates, out-of-tolerance closure, audit trail and audit pack.
  • Runs as EU-hosted cloud software with unlimited users and full export on every plan; specialist metrology calculations and regulated signatures can remain in their dedicated systems.

Questions, straight answers

What is calibration management software?

It is the system that connects an instrument register, calibration intervals and due dates, reminders, completed records, certificates, exceptions and audit evidence. The value is the connection between those records, not the number of features on a page.

Who is Gaugelog for?

Quality teams at small and midsize manufacturers that manage their own gauges, test equipment and measuring instruments. Gaugelog centers the in-house workflow from register and reminders through records, certificates and audit evidence.

What changes when we move from a spreadsheet?

Reminders run without anyone opening a file, every user sees the same register, certificates and history stay linked to each instrument, changes are attributable and the audit record exports as one pack.

How is Gaugelog different from installed calibration software?

Gaugelog runs in a browser, needs no local database and has unlimited users on every plan. It focuses on calibration schedules, records, certificates and audit evidence, so existing MSA, scanner-led crib or regulated-signature systems can keep doing those separate jobs.

What does Gaugelog cost and where is it hosted?

The Free plan covers 30 gauges. Paid plans start at $49 per month billed annually for 150 gauges, with unlimited users. Gaugelog is cloud software hosted in the EU, and every plan includes full export.

Start free with 30 gauges. No credit card, no demo call.
