Expected Outcomes
Measurable results our trades & construction clients achieve with equipment maintenance scheduling.
Preventive maintenance significantly reduces unplanned breakdowns that halt work on active job sites
Complete and current maintenance records for every piece of equipment, always ready for inspection
Regular preventive maintenance extends the useful life of tools and equipment, deferring replacement costs
The Challenge
Common equipment maintenance scheduling challenges facing trades & construction businesses.
Equipment breaks down on site because maintenance was overdue and nobody was tracking it
WorkSafe inspectors arrive and test and tag records are missing or expired for critical equipment
Maintenance is reactive, only happening after breakdowns, costing more in emergency repairs and lost productivity
No centralised view of which equipment is due for service across multiple job sites and vehicles
