We have put together this article to provide a source of resources and links available for equipment managers, Papertrail subscribers and partners to help plan and reduce the impact of coronavirus on your business.

As an equipment manager with safety as your number one priority, you need all the information at your fingertips to be able to care for and disinfect equipment properly.

Tell us how you’re getting on! We want to hear about how your business has been affected and what steps you are taking to prepare for opening again.

Stay safe,

Whilst we may be experiencing unprecedented challenges due to social distancing measures, this downtime might be the opportunity you need to review your equipment and plan for how to manage your inspections again when you re-open.

Our [Support Team](mailto:support@papertrail.io) are working remotely but are on-hand to provide free Papertrail account reviews. If you haven’t got a Papertrail account, why not [book a demo](https://www.papertrail.io/book-demo/) to see how you can improve your inspection management system?
