Asset management software for construction
Construction handles big, complex projects. This increases the need for effective equipment and tool management. Tracking assets, equipment and tools throughout their lifecycle is operationally important. As it helps maximise resource use, boosts productivity, and assures long-term sustainability.
Effective asset management promotes worker safety, informed decision-making and guarantees regulatory compliance. Extending asset lifespan through preventative maintenance schedules. Regular maintenance reduces the impact on productivity arising out of missed calibrations and maintenance events.
Hardcat solutions track tools and equipment movement, to obtain insights into their utilisation. The most significant benefit of using software for construction asset tracking is having a record of the last user and location, in case a tool is misplaced. You can report on what projects they have worked on, what assets they have used and whether they returned items back to base. As replacing missing tools will get expensive over time.
Tool inventory visibility
Asset management increases equipment productivity, which results in cost savings, and effective upkeep and care extends the life of your items. Downtime and inefficient processes have a detrimental effect on the bottom line if tools and equipment are misplaced, ‘walk off the job site’ or break due to misuse. The construction asset management and tool management software from Hardcat helps you maintain optimal company efficiency.
Enhance Efficiency and Accountability with Tools Management Software
Tracking your tools and equipment
Tracking tools and equipment via Barcodes and/or RFID tags discourages misuse by employees and generates accountability for the tools and equipment they use. It’s critical that you have a comprehensive view of all assets across the entire portfolio of your construction and building projects. Tracking tools and equipment across multiple locations and job sites permits accurate reporting of any lost tools and equipment due to theft or mismanagement.
Issue and return of tools and equipment
Hardcat Tool Manager lets you know exactly where all your tools and equipment are located. Where they have been and who is responsible for them. Simplifying the process of issuing tools and equipment eliminates lines at workshops, delivers accountability, and allows for reduced tool and equipment loss and misuse.
Manage which assets and vehicles workers have checked-out (been issued), how long they have had them for, why they are using them, and due date for return. Hardcat tool tracking provides detailed records of qualifications and certifications for each worker, so you know workers are certified to use them.
Testing and maintenance management
Conduct a pre-start visual to inspect all tools, testing equipment and PPE before each use for signs of damage. Using Hardcat, the inspection results can be entered against each item using our mobile app. To ensure that equipment is in good working order before use.
Regularly testing equipment provides the level of protection required for Work Health and Safety (WHS) regulations. Testing intervals will depend on several factors. Including the frequency of use, the environment in which it is being used and manufacturer’s advice.
