Project Details
George Igel Co., a long-standing heavy civil contractor based in Columbus, Ohio, faced the challenge of managing a complex array of systems across their extensive equipment fleet. They used Clue, a flexible construction equipment management software, to enhance their operational efficiency and reduce complexity.
Objectives
Clue provided George Igel Co. with a 'single pane of glass' for all their equipment management needs. This integration allowed for real-time access to critical data such as fault codes and hour meters, directly from mobile devices.
- It significantly reduced the time spent on gathering and comparing data from various sources.
- For the first time, field operators and mechanics could see every machine, fault code and work order.
Outcomes
The implementation of Clue led to remarkable improvements. The operators and mechanics gained direct access to vital data, facilitating quicker decision-making and reducing downtime.
- This streamlined approach also led to better equipment allocation and enhanced job-site productivity.
- Igel achieved significant savings in time, reduced wear and tear on trucks, improved accuracy and increased utilization of its fleet.
BuiltWorlds Analysis
Nearly a third of BuiltWorlds benchmarking survey respondents indicated using a fleet management solution on every project. These solutions rated highly for their inventory control & management capabilities (6.3/10), and their job costing & billing capabilities (6.3/10). Industry average ratings for purchasing & procurement, location tracking, and mainenance/parts replacement management were also high. Despite multiple solutions existing within the market, other a fifth of surveyed contractors noted they use their own custom solution for fleet management and monitoring purposes.
