The Challenge
The team at itemit are pleased to announce another exciting partnership with an ambitious UK company - Landscape services.
Landscape services operate from 15 key locations across the southeast, maintaining a variety of outdoor spaces. To achieve this, the team own and lease an extensive fleet of over 70 specialised vehicles and thousands of pieces of equipment. It's a challenge in itself to log, track and monitor this volume of equipment, but that is made even more challenging when you are working across so many different sites.
The high levels of service the experienced team delivers relies heavily on having the right equipment at the right time. Without the kit they need, they cannot maintain high levels of efficiency and reduce downtime.
The following requirements are critical for the team:
- Know what equipment you have
- See where that equipment is
- Know what equipment is available
- Identify who has what kit
- Ensure the equipment is on the correct site at the right time
- Reduce equipment losses and thefts
- Report defects
What they need
The main objective for Landscape Services was to find a better way to manage equipment so they could continue to deliver the best possible service for their customers. They needed a solution that would improve visibility over:
- Asset locations
- Asset availability
- Utilisation rates for equipment
- Defect reporting
- Servicing schedules
- Security measures and crime prevention
The Goals
For Landcape Services, there goals were clear, they needed to find asset tracking software that would improve safety, compliance and efficiency as a result of having better asset management. The reasoning behind this is solid, they wished to lower the running and operational costs of their business so they could offer more competitive pricing structures for their customers.
