Common Challenges We
Can Overcome Together
Construction Dealers and Equipment Rental
Poor Utilization Data and Inaccurate Customer Billing
Not knowing how many hours your equipment is being used can lead to inaccurate customer billing, disputes, and soaring business costs. Moreover, it makes it difficult to get a pulse on equipment lifecycles and demands so you can strategically plan around your customers’ and your own needs and ensure customer satisfaction.
With Powerfleet, you can view actual engine hours to unearth hidden costs from wear and tear or after-hours use — and improve billing accuracy for maintenance and rental contracts. This helps you prevent or quickly resolve customer billing disputes. Our equipment usage data can help you increase equipment utilization, decrease costs, and better meet customer needs to increase their satisfaction.
Unplanned Equipment Downtime
When construction equipment is down, it slows operations and increases costs. Being at the mercy of OEM maintenance schedules can lead to under or over servicing assets, causing unnecessary downtime while incurring additional costs. You and your customers need a way to simplify maintenance efforts, enhance equipment longevity, and minimize unplanned downtime.
Powerfleet equips you with a proactive and preventive maintenance approach based on real-world, real-time usage hours and alerts to help you identify potential maintenance issues early on. This frees you from arbitrary maintenance schedules, helping to ensure you don’t under or over-service your equipment so you can keep it running longer and maximize uptime.
Lack of Asset Tracking and Visibility
Between the cranes, excavators, bulldozers, and other asset types in your and your customers’ mixed fleets, knowing their location at all times is a crucial concern. Without the ability to track your assets, you don’t know what equipment is available and when, which puts your customer-service quality at risk.
Our state-of-the-art fleet tracking technology empowers you with 24/7 visibility into equipment and vehicle location, so you and your customers always know where your assets are and when they are available to use. This can also help you confirm that equipment is promptly returned when rental contracts end, and help you accurately schedule new contracts.
Ongoing Risk of Equipment Theft
Your heavy equipment is expensive. Losses from construction site theft can total up to $1 billion annually, with less than 25% of stolen construction materials ever recovered. Theft of your assets can have severe repercussions such as decreases in overall asset value, project delays, and more.
Thanks to Powerfleet’s advanced fleet tracking capabilities, accurate location information, real-time push alerts, and high-frequency reporting, you are far better equipped to prevent theft and achieve faster asset recovery if theft occurs.
Data Inconsistencies and Compliance Issues
Managing a diverse fleet of construction equipment can pose significant challenges, especially when you’re dealing with varied data formats from different OEMs. This complexity often leads to inefficiencies, data inconsistencies, and potential compliance issues.
Leveraging the AEMP 2.0 Telematics Standard, our solution automates and standardizes data collection across different heavy machinery and construction equipment. This approach helps you and your customers simplify construction fleet management, ensure consistent reporting, and minimize compliance risks.
Manual Data Collection and Disparate Systems
Manually gathering, monitoring, and interpreting data from an array of different systems results in incomplete insights, biased decisions, and operational inefficiencies.
Our OEM-agnostic platform, Unity, takes on the heavy lifting by ingesting data from all disconnected data sources, including IoT devices, 3rd party devices, OEMs, and business systems. Unity transforms this data into real-world, decision-grade insights so you and your customers can make more informed decisions.
Mixed Fleet of Various OEMs
It’s common to have a mixed fleet of various OEMs. However, manually gathering, monitoring, and interpreting data from an array of different systems results in incomplete insights, biased decisions, and operational inefficiencies.
Powerfleet takes on the heavy lifting by ingesting data from all your disconnected data sources, including Powerfleet IoT devices, 3rd party devices, OEMs, and business systems. By transforming this data into real-world, decision-grade insights, you and your customers can make more informed decisions — and feel confident about expanding your fleets in whatever way benefits your operations. Our solutions are easy to install in any type of construction equipment, and fast to implement as you bring in new vehicles and equipment.

Unplanned Equipment Downtime
When material handling equipment (MHE) is down, it slows operations and increases costs. Being at the mercy of OEM maintenance schedules can lead to under or over servicing assets, causing unnecessary downtime while incurring additional costs. You and your customers need a way to simplify maintenance efforts, enhance equipment longevity, and minimize unplanned downtime.
Powerfleet equips you with a proactive and preventive maintenance approach based on real-world, real-time usage hours and alerts to help you identify potential maintenance issues early on. This frees you from arbitrary maintenance schedules, helping to ensure you don’t under or over-service your equipment so you can keep it running longer and maximize uptime.
Pedestrian Safety in High-Density Environments
The nature of your industry’s workplaces means pedestrians will often have close interaction with heavy, material handling equipment, such as forklifts — and this creates critical safety concerns. Preventing injuries while ensuring smooth, productive operations is of the utmost importance.
Powerfleet’s advanced AI-driven Pedestrian Proximity Detection system provides real-time driver notifications and identifies alert zones to help you and your customers improve safety. It works in conjunction with our Forklift Gateway (VAC) and Speed Manager products to help identify near misses, capture event details like breach location, time, and driver identification — and even slow or deactivate a forklift accelerator pedal when an alert zone is breached.
Regulatory Compliance
Meeting regulatory health and safety compliance requirements is paramount, and you and your customers simply can’t afford lengthy or disorganized processes that hinder adherence. Streamlining and automating compliance activities is crucial for optimal efficiency and risk management — but many companies still rely on manual, error-prone processes.
Powerfleet empowers you to confidently and digitally manage regulatory compliance; streamline compliance workflows with automated safety checklists; control vehicle access to certified personnel; and reduce the risk of violations and litigation.
Manual Data Collection and Disparate Systems
Too often, managers rely solely on manual processes to manage their MHE fleet and safety activities, as well as to create compliance, maintenance, and utilization reports. This can lead to blind, error-prone, biased reporting — and poorer results. Likewise, having disparate data systems across a fleet can hinder data unification efforts and create additional inaccuracies and problems.
Powerfleet provides an OEM-agnostic fleet intelligence platform that connects and harmonizes data from fleets of forklifts and other vehicles, while unifying business operations through advanced ingestion and integration capabilities. For example, our Unity APIs enable data integration across diverse systems, allowing a seamless fusion of Powerfleet data with other business platforms. Furthermore, our detailed KPI dashboards offer an in-depth view into your operations, enhancing reporting accuracy, capturing real-time insights, and enabling swift, informed decisions.
Mixed Fleet of Various OEMs

Our solutions are easy to install in any material handling equipment, and fast to implement as you bring in new vehicles and equipment.
Inefficient Workflows and Underutilized Equipment
To best manage your rental inventory, maximize efficiency, and deliver great customer service, you need real-time location data that tells you where your equipment is and when it will be available. You also need usage data to know if it’s being underutilized so you can optimize your assets’ deployment and ROI. Furthermore, you need to know the condition of your equipment and whether abuse is occurring.
With Powerfleet, you always know where your equipment is — plus, you can automate workflows to deliver outstanding customer service. Using geofencing, you can trigger workflows to initiate customer calls that make sure they’re satisfied with their rental — and later kick off return check-ins and schedule maintenance appointments. You’ll know when your equipment is being underutilized so you can repurpose it for other customers. Additionally, our impact data gives you insights into the handling and condition of your equipment to help you track abuse.
