How Does Construction Equipment Asset Management Save You Money?

• Speed up maintenance
• Lose fewer assets
• Reduce insurance premiums
• Maintain a robust fixed asset register
• Speed up your daily operations
• Create an audit trail of asset interactions

The best construction equipment asset management software gives you a suite of features to play around with, meaning you’ll be able to tailor your asset tracking operations to your business.

This granular data is then pulled into a reporting system, meaning you’ll be able to pinpoint asset maintenance information, as well as track bookings and last seen locations of assets.

Your construction equipment asset management software will come with an integrated asset tracking app. This means that you’ll be able to run audits and edit asset data with the asset in front of you, simply with your smartphone.

All of the data you collect online or on your app updates across the board, meaning whether you’re editing on-site or off-site, you’ll be able to manage any changes your assets go through.

For example, if your assets are hired out, you’ll be able to use an equipment checkout system to log who has the assets and how long they’ll have them for.

If you wish to use the system as an equipment maintenance tracking software, you’ll be able to implement repeating reminders for routine and pre-emptive maintenance, and you’ll be able to use an issues management system to log any issues that need to be addressed.

Location tracking is essential, too. With the best system, you’ll be able to scan your assets into locations, as well as track an asset’s last seen location. This gives you an overall view of who is interacting with assets and where.

Every time you scan an assets’ tag, it will open up that asset’s profile, ready for edits. The last seen location also updates, as well as the user who scanned the tag and what time it was scanned.

You can also use GPS trackers for your larger assets. If your assets are getting delivered somewhere, you can monitor this delivery using these trackers. GPS asset tracking is a good way to supplement asset tags, as this way you get accountability on and off site.

However, by using auditing features you can pinpoint where your assets are and minimise and mitigate asset losses and asset theft. This gives you a much clearer view of your asset register and increases your business’ accountability.

As you collect your data, an automated fixed asset register will be created, too. This is very helpful in saving you money as you’ll be able to use it for tax and insurance purposes.

In terms of insurance, being able to show that you’ve mitigated thefts and damage, you’ll be able to claim lower premiums. A robust asset register also reduces the chance of ghost and zombie assets, avoiding fines when you’re claiming back tax on your business expenses.
