Benefits of Tracking Construction Equipment

Managing a fleet of construction vehicles and equipment can be overwhelming. Not only are you tasked with tracking maintenance and use, but you also need to manage equipment across multiple job sites, often in very different geographic locations. GPSONEPLUS's vehicle tracking systems make this easier with the help of accurate, real-time data and GPS tracking. Here is a closer look at four key benefits you will enjoy with the help of construction tracking systems.

Receive Real-Time Data About Equipment Location and Use

Construction equipment tracking systems provide real-time data about vehicle location. These systems allow construction companies to track equipment at all times, even in remote locations, allowing team leaders to make informed decisions about how to best accomplish tasks at the job site.
The real-time data offered through construction equipment tracking isn't limited to vehicle location. Managers will also receive data about whether or not an engine is running and how far the vehicle has traveled. This helps you track your goals and keep your team accountable.

Utilize Equipment More Effectively

Construction equipment represents a sizeable investment. All too often, companies invest in equipment they don't need simply because they are not using it as efficiently as possible. Track Your Truck wants to eliminate this inefficiency with the help of equipment tracking.
Accurate, real-time data about equipment location and use is critical to improving the overall production of your valuable equipment. When you are not utilizing equipment to its fullest potential, it is costing you money with minimal benefit. Using a fleet tracking system will help ensure that you are getting the most out of your equipment. For example, GPSONEPLUSs tracking systems provide instant data about equipment that is idle at a job site, so you can help your team use it more effectively at that site or you can make use of that equipment at another site.
Furthermore, by tracking your construction equipment, you can ensure that the equipment is properly dispersed. Track Your Truck's tracking system will keep a log of every piece of equipment’s location so you can easily determine whether a site is using too much, too little or the precise amount of equipment.

Deter Theft and Increase Accountability

Nothing is quite as frustrating, or costly, as the theft of a piece of equipment. Unauthorized use of company equipment may be slightly less costly, but it is still frustrating and causes unnecessary wear and tear. With construction equipment tracking, you can enhance accountability and stop unauthorized use — or even theft. Thanks to accurate, real-time tracking data, you can see when the equipment is misplaced or missing from your property or job sites.
Unauthorized use is just part of the problem. When equipment is left at a job site overnight, it is vulnerable to theft from outsiders. Access to real-time data about equipment locations alerts you to missing or stolen equipment, and allows you to take prompt action to recover it quickly. Give law enforcement professionals the last known GPS coordinates for any stolen equipment to increase the chances of a successful recovery.

Improve Maintenance Management

GPSONEPLUS's tracking systems not only log location and use of equipment, but also maintenance. You can set up the system to send maintenance alerts when a piece of equipment is nearing time for service. This ensures that your team never forgets critical maintenance.
By tracking and monitoring maintenance more effectively, you can see to it that all preventive maintenance is handled on time. This will extend the life of your equipment and its overall efficiency. And focusing on maintenance with the help of your tracking system, you also will get more use out of your equipment.
Accurate data about mileage, engine hours and past service will also help you ensure maintenance is performed exactly when it is needed and based on actual use — particularly helpful for equipment that isn’t used daily. Keep more accurate logs and documentation to satisfy any regulations surrounding your work and industry.
As you can see, the benefits to tracking construction equipment are extensive. With the help of GPSONEPLUS, you can get a better handle on your equipment and how it is being utilized. Manage multiple job sites with ease, giving your teams the equipment they need to do their jobs effecitvely.
