Company/About UPGEAR

Built for the work behind an AMC.

UPGEAR keeps a pest-control contract joined to everything that follows it: the visits, the service records, the bills and the renewal. Two founders from Mumbai built it after years of watching operators hold all of that together by hand.

Chapter 01 · Why UPGEAR exists

Five tools doing one operator’s job.

Many of the operators we met ran their business on a mix: a spreadsheet for billing, a separate tool for GST invoices, accounting software for the books, WhatsApp for everything else. The work got done. Month-end still took days, and the owner still chased every renewal himself.

OwnerTHE USUAL WEEK
Chases every renewal himself, every month.
AccountantTHE USUAL WEEK
Spends three days at month-end matching three tools.
So we built for the AMC first. Operators kept being pointed to CRMs designed for sales deals. A year-long contract with monthly visits across several sites doesn’t work like a sales deal. UPGEAR started from the contract: scope and schedules first, then visits, evidence, bills and the renewal, all linked.
Chapter 02 · Our roots

The experience came before the name.

UPGEAR launched in 2024. The product work behind it started ten years earlier, in the founders’ business-software companies.

Chapter 04 · Made in India

Made in India, for how work runs here.

GST. WhatsApp. Two or three companies under one owner. Clients who pay by UPI on Monday and cheque on Friday. Technicians who switch between Hindi, Marathi and English mid-sentence. UPGEAR can handle every one of these. Which ones you switch on depends on your plan and your setup, and we configure them with you.

MADE IN INDIA Ask us which of these fit your plan. We’ll set up the ones your team will actually use.
