Managing Preventative Maintenance

This is our maintenance dashboard alert list. It's part of our preventative maintenance tracking feature.

Both during the busy season and outside of it, it is challenging to stay on top of preventative maintenance and repairs.

You try to collect all the latest information needed and store it by memory or an excel table, but the same communication and data collection issues still remain.

You need current hour meters and work orders.

You get frustrated when you need a piece of equipment that requires service. Worse yet, a piece gets missed in the shuffle of mobilizations and breaks down due to missed PM.

There are several preventative maintenance software programs available, but most do not truly integrate with the rest of your daily operations such as project/equipment locations, dispatching, and crew scheduling.

Keeping track of maintenance for your equipment doesn’t have to be difficult. With MaintainVO, tracking and scheduling for preventative maintenance has never been easier.

You can create automated preventative maintenance schedules and alerts, based on customizable hour meters and set dates and durations.

You can easily integrate with any GPS telematics data from multiple fleets with TelematicsVO, meaning all smart and “dumb” equipment can be aggregated into one simple platform.

Additionally, you can create work orders and set up email or text notifications to responsible parties of upcoming preventative maintenance work.

Equipment work order history is automatically saved and can be reviewed at any time. Daily and weekly maintenance reports are available for easy review (and can be emailed too).

Your mechanics have custom user dashboards that show open and closed work orders as well as equipment technical details and history. This creates a to do list with priorities and at the same time creates a complete historical record for your specific equipment.

Don’t let your mechanics time and knowledge go to waste, create detailed reports that help everybody from the parts runner to the owner have the information you need when and where you need it most.

Dispatching/Scheduling

Manage dispatching between drivers and management

We know that communication between the field and office is important, especially when it comes to dispatching and moving heavy equipment. This can be quite the struggle during busy seasons when moves happen often and things can change quickly.

Notifying the field team and specific lowboy drivers that equipment needs to be moved is incredibly important in these cases. DispatchVO, an extension of TrackVO, allows you to schedule and track future equipment moves and then relay that information to or from the field via text or email alerts.

You can schedule the equipment moves in advance and allow others to add notes or attachments to move requests. We have seen companies use this to better manage and track upcoming project equipment moves.

From the field, user-specific lowboy drivers can easily check off their assigned moves from their phone or tablet and even add meter readings from the same mobile-friendly dashboard.

We understand heavy civil construction companies are constantly working to improve their equipment utilization rates. Therefore, we designed our dispatching software to be mobile-friendly, easily updated, and always tracked.

We genuinely believe this system will help better manage your dispatching process. If you are interested or have questions, we’d be happy to discuss your current field operations on a short 20-minute call.
