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.

Construction FAQ
Yes. NovaGear tracks everything from excavators and skid steers to pickup trucks and dump trucks. You can mark CDL-required vehicles as DOT-regulated to enable compliance features (DVIRs, HOS) on those specific units while keeping the rest of your fleet on standard maintenance tracking.
Yes. NovaGear is a progressive web app that works fully offline. Your operators can log readings, report issues, and complete DVIRs without any connectivity. Everything syncs automatically when they are back in range. No data is ever lost.
It is $5 per piece of equipment per month. Unlimited users. All features included. A construction company with 50 machines would pay $250/month total. Free up to 5 equipment to get started.
Yes. NovaGear supports odometer, engine hour, and custom meter readings. Service plans can trigger based on any of these meters, so you can set oil changes every 250 hours and tire rotations every 5,000 miles on the same piece of equipment.
