Utilization Telematics

Telematics Fuel ROI Calculation FUEL: Industry average equipment idles 40% of the time and burns 3 gallons per hour

Telematics Fuel ROI Calculation FUEL: Industry average equipment idles 40% of the time and burns 3 gallons per hour ROI for reducing 1 hour of idle per week 1 hr x 3 gph x $3/gal x 4 wks = $ 36 per month per machine Cost of a system = $36 per month per machine

Maintenance Telematics

Telematics Security Always know machine location Instant alert if machine is moved Eliminate machine replacement costs, lost revenue/contract penalties, increased insurance deductible Prevent unauthorized use or movement

Telematics Job Costing & Productivity Increase overall efficiency with visibility to equipment productivity, location and history Eliminate wasted time searching for equipment Improve daily job cost management by accurately charging each piece of equipment Improved employee productivity reduces over-time
