The Mobile Glider Servicing Party complete with 3 ton truck kept the fleet in tip top condition without the need for complicated systems. Inspections and repaire were conducted on site and glue repairs cured with the help of a plywood 'lampshade' complete with light bulb. I believe their main tasks were sorting out cracked or broken wheel boxes and if one happened to go into the hangar during the week an 'up ended' fuselage having its box attended to was not uncommon. Simple and superb just like the rest of the operation, and not a lap top in sight.
