National Construction Firm
Tracking 120+ Heavy Machines Across Remote Construction Sites
Operating across multiple remote construction sites, this firm had limited visibility into equipment utilization. Open VTS provided real-time location tracking, geofence-based site boundary alerts, and usage analytics that transformed their asset management.
Key Results
The Challenge
With 120+ pieces of heavy equipment spread across 8 active construction sites, the company struggled with asset misallocation. Equipment was frequently moved between sites without centralized coordination, leading to project delays. GPS devices were installed but data was siloed in incompatible vendor dashboards.
Implementation
Open VTS was deployed as a unified platform, replacing three separate vendor dashboards. All existing GPS devices (mix of Queclink and Concox models) were migrated within one week. Site-boundary geofences triggered automatic alerts when equipment left designated zones. A custom dashboard view was created for project managers to see real-time utilization rates per site.
Outcomes
Equipment misallocation dropped by 40% in the first quarter. Project managers reported saving 6+ hours per week previously spent on manual equipment location calls. Unauthorized after-hours equipment movement was flagged and reduced to near-zero. The unified dashboard replaced three separate vendor subscriptions.
“Before Open VTS, finding which site had which excavator was a phone-call exercise. Now our project managers have real-time visibility without leaving their desk.”
