Which Platform is the Better Fit?

Both Remberg and Makula offer valuable capabilities for modern industrial service operations. Remberg delivers strong asset visibility and smooth internal workflows, making it a solid option for companies focused on internal asset tracking and compliance.

However, for machinery suppliers, distributors, and manufacturers looking to elevate their aftersales services, digitise customer support, and scale field service operations, Makula provides a broader, more modular toolkit. Its combination of 3D visualisation, AI documentation, field service tools, and white-labelled customer portals makes it uniquely suited for organisations that serve external customers and need to connect machine, technician, and client data in a seamless platform.

If your business priorities include external collaboration, modern user experience, and long-term flexibility, Makula appears to be the stronger choice.
