BiomedDesk or Bravio? It Depends on How Much of the Job You Run in It
Both are built for HTM and both support independent biomed service companies. BiomedDesk is a low-cost equipment and compliance CMMS; Bravio adds the field service and billing side of the business.
Short answer: BiomedDesk is an HTM CMMS with published flat pricing ($79 to $399 a month, unlimited users), a Service Organization mode for third-party shops, and built-in AEM documentation and FDA recall checks. Bravio is CMMS plus field service management: dispatch, an offline iOS and Android technician app, estimates with online approval and invoicing in the same system. If you mainly need an equipment database and compliance paperwork, BiomedDesk is worth a look; if you also need to run and bill the service work, Bravio covers more of the job.
BiomedDesk describes itself as an HTM platform with a full CMMS, used both by healthcare facilities and, through a dedicated Service Organization mode, by independent biomed shops and third-party HTM companies. It switches between customer accounts, produces branded PDF service reports, tracks your own test equipment and loaner fleet, documents AEM strategies with risk justification and checks devices against the FDA recall database. Its home page does not describe a native or offline mobile app, technician dispatch, or invoicing. Bravio starts from the service company: requests, estimates, dispatch, an offline technician app, signed reports and invoices, with the equipment records underneath.

Why Biomed Repair Shops Switch to Bravio
Run the job, not just the record
A call becomes an estimate, the approval becomes a work order, the technician is dispatched and closes it on the phone, and the invoice comes off the same record.
Built for the van and the basement
A native iOS and Android app that keeps the data on the phone, so inspections, signatures and parts are recorded with no signal and synced later.
Your customers see your work
Read-only logins scoped to each customer facility, branded reports with signatures, and a request form for your website.
When BiomedDesk is the better choice
- You want a published monthly price and unlimited users on every plan.
- AEM documentation with risk justification and FDA recall checks matter more to you than dispatch and invoicing.
- Your technicians work at a desk or on a laptop and you do not need an offline phone app.
