Calibration & compliance
Traceability, evidence, and audit-friendly histories for calibrated assets and inspection-heavy operations.
Operational authority
Overview & thesis
Calibration and compliance workflows fail in the gap between “we did the work” and “we can prove the work.” Traceability requires disciplined records, standard completion semantics, and controlled edits.
This hub points to calibration workflow definitions and vertical Dispatch resources where available.
Taxonomy spine
Core operational concepts
- Calibration (metrology context)
Calibration is the documented process of comparing an instrument to a reference standard and recording results and conditions so measurements are traceable, repeatable, and reviewable over time.
/help-center/glossary/calibration
- CMMS
A CMMS is software for planning, executing, and recording maintenance work—usually with assets, work orders, parts usage, and history—so maintenance operations can be measured instead of reconstructed from memory.
/help-center/glossary/cmms
- Asset lifecycle management (ALM)
Asset lifecycle management is the operational practice of tracking an asset from intake/install through service, refurbishment, and retirement—so renewals, capital planning, and risk decisions cite one coherent history.

Inventory management (field service)Field service inventory management is the practice of ensuring the right parts are available at the right place and time—warehouse, staging, and truck stock—without letting material chaos become dispatch’s hidden boss.
