Challenges construction companies face

If you manage construction equipment, these problems are probably costing you money right now.

Equipment scattered across job sites

When you have machines on five different job sites, knowing what is where and when it was last serviced becomes a guessing game. Foremen call the shop, the shop calls the other site, and nobody has a clear answer. NovaGear gives every piece of equipment a profile that is accessible from any device, anywhere.

Missed preventive maintenance

An excavator is due for a hydraulic fluid change at 500 hours, but nobody is tracking the hours because the logbook is in the cab and the cab is on a site 40 miles away. NovaGear tracks meter readings and sends automatic reminders before maintenance is due, whether the interval is based on hours, mileage, or calendar days.

DOT violations on regulated vehicles

Construction companies often have dump trucks, flatbeds, and other CDL-required vehicles that need DVIRs, HOS tracking, and annual inspections. A failed roadside inspection affects your CSA score and can put your operating authority at risk. NovaGear includes full DOT compliance tools at no extra cost.

No cell service on remote sites

Many construction sites have poor or no cell coverage. Your operators need to log meter readings, report broken equipment, and complete pre-trip inspections regardless of connectivity. NovaGear works fully offline and syncs when they are back in range.

Cannot quantify equipment costs

That old backhoe keeps breaking, but is it actually cheaper to keep repairing it or time to replace it? Without tracking parts, labor, fuel, and downtime per machine, you are making expensive decisions based on gut feel. NovaGear gives you cost-per-equipment reporting to make data-driven decisions.

Mechanics wasting time on paperwork

Your mechanics are skilled technicians, not data entry clerks. Paper work orders get lost, handwriting is illegible, and someone has to type it all into a spreadsheet later. NovaGear lets mechanics manage work orders, log parts, and track time from their phone in the shop.
