[Qgis-user] help please

QGIS can definitely do all of those things. We have been using and loving
the Input app but for your purposes a simpler method might work. If you
have the person on the site take a picture of the machine with their phone
(location services should be turned on) you could then collect all of the
pictures in a folder and use the Import Geotagged Photos tool in QGIS to
bring the photos into QGIS and have a point created at each location. Once
you have a point layer you can add any additional data you like. Here is a
blog post that might be useful.
