Construction Equipment Tracking: It’s No Longer a Dirty Job
Construction company owners have always struggled to keep track of equipment. What do we own? Where is it? And is it really being used?
In fact, the market has been flooded with options for fleet tracking, safety, and labor management, and yet, despite today’s tight labor environment, construction workers still waste time searching for, or manually accounting for, equipment. Some estimates indicate that up to 90 minutes per worker per day is spent looking for stuff. And when it comes time to gather actual use data – the billable hours – it’s even more challenging. Workers are busy - they don’t want to do timesheets for the equipment on the jobsite, too. Sound familiar? Look no further. Rooster's Asset Tracking System is designed to make a difference in equipment management: streamline inventory supervision, improve utilization and efficiency, and deliver activity reporting, automatically.
The Rooster® Asset Tracking System consists of GPS Hubs, Activity Trackers, and the Rooster App portal. Rooster Hubs are robust data gateways that connect to the Cloud through a cellular network to deliver GPS location and activity data. Rooster Activity Trackers are small, rugged devices that, once deployed, capture activity, from powered or unpowered tools to light and heavy equipment, on a minute-by-minute basis for up to 5 years. And through the Rooster App portal, equipment managers and project foremen can make informed decisions and optimize productivity at the touch of a button.
One of the key benefits of Rooster is affordability. With easily-capitalized equipment costs andultra-low subscriptions for Activity Trackers ($1 per month) and GPS Hubs ($10 per month), Rooster's system offers the lowest cost of ownership in the industry, and best of all...no contracts. This makes it accessible to businesses of all sizes, enabling them to take advantage of the benefits of equipment tracking. The new Rooster Starter Kit is a great way to try out the most popular part of the system.
Installation and setup are quick and easy, with no complicated configuration or technical expertise required. Once activated, Rooster Hubs and Activity Trackers automatically track inventory, location, and activity of equipment within ½ mile, delivering data to the Cloud where it’s immediately viewable on the App. See how it works.
The system is also durable, designed to withstand harsh construction and industrial environments. Hubs and Activity Trackers have certified durability ratings for Dust, Moisture, Shock, Chemical, and UV, and all Rooster hardware is FCC compliant through MET Labs for US and Canada, with NOM for Mexico and CE for Europe imminent. This makes Rooster ideal for businesses operating in harsh conditions, such as construction, mining, oil and gas, and more.
ACTIVITY TRACKERS HAVE FOUR RUGGED MOUNTING OPTIONS FOR EASY DEPLOYMENT: LANYARDS, 3M® VHB TAPE, INDUSTRIAL GRADE MAGNETS, AND SHOCK-RESISTANT DEFLECTOR MOUNTS.
