Keep Jobs on Track

Problem

You’ve got a new irrigation job starting today and everything is loaded up and ready to roll—except the small trencher. No one knows where it is, and the foreman isn’t in yet. To top it off, your biggest maintenance contract customer just emailed asking if the weed control treatment was applied.

 

Fix it Fast Using Momentum GPS Tracking:
  • Click on the Ditch Witch and see that it was last used at 3:14 p.m. last Tuesday and is located inside Trailer 8. Send someone to get it.
  • Then click on the foreman’s truck and see that it’s parked at a nearby breakfast place. Text him to remind him of the time and ask him to get you a banana muffin.
  • Check your client’s job site and see that the truck with the spray system was there yesterday at 11:15 a.m. for 57 minutes. Email the client back with the info.

 

Real-time asset location = No more scrambling.

Defend Against False Claims

Problem

It’s the middle of the day and you get an alert on your phone that there has been a possible collision on one of your trucks.
