Project Details
According to Vice President Anthony Gaglio, Jr., “Viking needed an equipment management solution because Viking didn’t have one. We were old school—pen and paper.”
With their long-term employees and pen and paper solutions, Viking depended on white boards, memory, and trust, along with a lot of text messages and phone calls, to manage their equipment and assets across multiple job sites. Each day was a chaotic blend of managing labor, assets, maintenance, and resource requests with no cohesive solution.
Objectives
Digitize the ability to track and manage equipment across various projects.
- Improve collaboration across yards and job sites for resource management.
- A single system to manage tools, equipment, vehicles, labor, and more.
- Visibility from the field, to the shop, to the front office.
- New employees need standardized procedures.
Outcomes
After implementing Tenna, Viking Construction is excited about the depth of information and collaboration they see.
- Improved productivity through schedule collaboration and setting milestones
- Better accountability through transparent data collection & dashboards
Next Steps & Future Use
“Tenna’s responsibility is to give us that leading technology software that’s going to help our field operations, maintenance, and equipment tracking. We’re going to grow together to make our businesses profitable with a better tool for our employees to use to make them more productive. I look at it as a long term partnership together.”

BuiltWorlds Analysis
As companies increasingly seek ways to digitize historically manual processes, equipment management is a key area of focus for many self-perform groups. Once of the biggest hinderances to productivity, and areas of waste, is equipment issues and downtime. While BuiltWorlds benchmarking data indicates only about 30% of contractors utilize an equipment management solution, survey data does indicate significant value can be derived from these solutions. The ability to gather and host equipment data in a central location, set transparent schedules, collaborate in real time, and understand maintenance needs can significantly improve productivity and efficiency metrics with their equipment.
