In this episode we discuss the tracking of physical assets (vs. digital or other types of assets) and are focused specifically on asset tracking for construction.
How consolidated and focused equipment fleet management software allows contractors to adopt with success.
In the construction industry, tracking devices are used to track heavy equipment, mid-sized equipment and fleet vehicles.
As construction equipment is one of a contractor’s highest cost centers, being cost conscious about your equipment utilization and your owning and operating costs is critical. All contractors calculate the total cost of ownership (TCO) a little bit differently, with various expenses to consider.
Fleet management departments have been using technology in some form since the 286 processor and dot matrix were considered new tech. However, companies continue to under-utilize equipment assets, carry more capital equipment than necessary, dispute over maintenance, and wrestle with the own vs. rent debate.

Look at any job site, and you will see a lot of construction equipment. If you are a contractor on a job, can you see all your equipment, and know what equipment is on your site? Is it working? Is it being utilized? Can you see what’s available to you on other projects or at the yard that you may be needing next week?
In construction businesses, the more transparency you have over your assets (people, equipment, tools), the more margin you can earn, more competitive you will be and more profit you will generate.
What is equipment tracking software? We get asked this question frequently and wanted to provide information on what equipment tracking software is, how it works, industries that commonly use it and the benefits of using it.

Based on conversations with our partners at FMI and our customers, we know that contractors are looking for guidance for businesses reopening, resources and ways to navigate COVID-19 while remaining profitable and continuing projects.
While many states in the US are still in the throes of COVID-19, some are reopening and many more are making plans in preparation of reopening. Contractors are also looking at what they will need to do to return to work and what the new “normal” will be.
Safety has a major impact on a contractor’s ability to win work. Without a safety record strong enough to meet the requirements in your customer’s RFPs, contractors are inhibited from winning new work, expanding into new territories and generating overall business growth.
There are a variety of different tracker types that are used to track an equipment fleet and when it comes to installation, the tracker’s placement can help with the performance and longevity of the tracker.
