Contractor company

Having construction machines standing idle, is expensive. Therefore, TrackMe’s GPS trackers have been installed to streamline their use. And to protect against theft, as they often attract attention from potential thieves.

The company’s premises are large. Therefore, the staff frequently spend a considerable amount of time walking around to check which machines were on-site so they could find an available machine for the next task. GPS trackers are a good solution in this case, as they provide constant information about the location of the machines – both the rented out ones and the position of the ones within the company premises.

Additionally, the contractor had a desire to document the usage time of individual machines. When solving tasks for entities like municipalities, there is often a need to document the time spent on a specific task. This is because the municipality may require evidence that the billed time corresponds to the performed work.

All vehicles in the machinery fleet were equipped with a GPS tracker and connected to TrackMe’s standard fleet management solution. This enabled the personnel of the construction company to track and locate all machines 24 hours a day. This has resulted in a significantly better overview of idle machines, fewer booking errors, less downtime, accurate invoicing, and control over time usage.

Furthermore, the machines are connected to an alarm system that notifies the service partner directly when it is time for a new service inspection. This also contributes to freeing up administrative time for the staff.
