Know Where Your Assets Are and Whether They're Earning.
Construction fleets are messy — mixed vehicle types, multiple sites, subcontractor equipment, and assets that move between projects. Geotab can bring order to it, but only when it's set up to match how construction actually works.
What We See in Construction Fleets
Construction companies often have Geotab on their light vehicles but haven't extended it to plant and equipment — where the real cost savings are. Excavators, loaders, and generators sit idle without anyone knowing. Assets move between sites with no automated tracking.
Meanwhile, maintenance is reactive, fuel consumption is estimated rather than measured, and utilisation data doesn't exist in a format anyone can act on.
Geotab for Construction Fleets
- Mixed fleet tracking Light vehicles, heavy plant, trailers, and powered assets — all in one platform with appropriate configuration for each.
- Equipment utilisation monitoring Engine hours, idle time, and productive vs. non-productive time tracked per asset and per site.
- Multi-site geofencing Automated site entry/exit logging, time-on-site reporting, and alerts for unauthorised asset movement.
- Maintenance scheduling Engine-hour and odometer-based triggers for servicing, integrated with your maintenance management system.
- Fuel consumption tracking Measured fuel usage per asset, per site — replacing estimates with data your project managers can use for costing.
- Safety and compliance Speed zone enforcement, after-hours use alerts, and driver behaviour monitoring for light vehicle fleets.
Utilisation Data That Affects the Bottom Line
In construction, underutilised equipment is invisible cost. A loader sitting idle on one site while another site hires one in — that's real money. Geotab gives you the visibility to make allocation decisions based on data, not phone calls.
We configure the platform to surface the metrics construction managers actually need: utilisation rates, idle percentages, maintenance forecasts, and cost-per-hour data that feeds into project costing.
