Equipment management software can track all your assets so you can free up your administration for other tasks. You can set reminders, schedule forms, produce data all while linking equipment to a location, asset, or employee. From audit trails to responsibility, software assists and eliminates much of the headaches accrued with fleet management.<\/p>\n

Getting the most out of your equipment means regular maintenance and responsibility. However, the more equipment or the bigger your fleet, the harder this task is. That\u2019s why BIS incorporated asset and equipment tracking software into our Safety Management System.<\/p>\n

Equipment management software<\/a> can take all the guesswork out of equipment management. With software, you can track who is responsible for the equipment in real-time and whether it\u2019s been oiled, greased, or charged.<\/p>\n

Not to mention your people in the field can fill out only the required details. All the mundane details like vehicle numbers, credentials, and authorization can be automatically filled out while the employees simply enter in the essential data using their mobile devices.<\/p>\n

Tracking Your Equipment<\/h2>\n

With the right software, you can link your equipment with employees, locations, and even other assets. So, you have the opportunity to assign a drill or pneumatic bander to a workstation. Or an employee to a location. Making several administrative duties as easy as a quick click of a button while eliminating the needs for others.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say you have a drill. You can input the drills identifying information into the system and print out a weatherproof sticker. After you place the sticker on the tool your staff can scan it with their mobile phones and begin the checklist. Once they\u2019ve verified the drill is in working condition, they can begin work without the hassle of writing their name, the drill number, and many other redundancies made obsolete with software.<\/p>\n

The same thing goes for a forklift, or anything rather. With some easy data entry, you can turn your whole fleet into trackable data. Data you can use to determine inefficiencies, trends, and even irresponsible use.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, if an employee is unqualified to use the equipment it could be programmed to tell them after scanning the code.<\/p>\n

At which point you simply tell your new employees not to use any equipment that they aren\u2019t verified to use. How would they know if they\u2019re verified? Their mobile app will tell them if they are or not after scanning.<\/p>\n

When I worked in the field, I would often have to scold new people for using dangerous equipment like a Hilti stud fastener. If every employee is aware of the protocol of scanning first, then it mitigates the amount of oversight required. Less oversight means your veteran employees can spend more time on production than watching.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Finally, a third example would be how we track all the assets our remote workers use. Laptops, desks, monitors, and chairs can all be entered into our system, giving our HR a clear picture of our field assets. You can easily do this as well using this software.<\/p>\n
