Keep every machine, job and hour on one record, from the yard to the site.

Dealers, rental yards, excavation and paving crews, drillers, miners and builders all depend on costly machines that move between sites. The software follows each unit through sale, hire, service and job costing, and ties the hours and fuel to the work they served.

At a glance

Heavy equipment is bought, sold, hired and run as individual units. A forklift dealer, a farm equipment dealer and an aircraft dealer each hold stock with serial numbers, hours or flight time, ownership papers and a service file that follows the unit. An equipment rental company holds the same kind of unit, but sells its use by the day or the hour.

Operators put those units to work. Crews matter here. Excavation companies, paving crews, well-drilling firms, mining companies and oil and gas operators record machine hours, fuel, crew time and metres moved or drilled. Builders and construction project managers bring the machine into a cost code and a programme. The record that matters is the one that links a unit to a job.

Suppliers sit around all of this. They need records too, from quote to delivery note, with stock counted against the yard or warehouse that holds it. Machinery manufacturers, industrial tools distributors and building material suppliers sell parts, tools and material against quotes and delivery notes. Each trade has its own paperwork. All of them still need to know where a unit is, what it costs and when it next needs attention from the workshop.

The trades

Software for each kind of heavy equipment business.

Heavy equipment dealers

Heavy equipment dealer software holds each excavator, wheel loader, dozer or crawler crane as one unit record. The record carries its serial number, engine hours, condition, owner, rental history and service plan, so sales, rental, the service department and the parts counter read the same machine. Quotes, trade-ins, invoices and warranty claims follow.

Forklift dealers

Forklift dealer software holds each truck as one record, keyed by its serial number. The record carries the hour meter, the owner or hirer, the contract, the service history and the warranty position. Sales, hire, the workshop and the parts counter read the same machine. Quotations, invoices and claims to the manufacturer follow from it.

Farm equipment dealers

A farm equipment dealer sells tractors and implements, then keeps them running through planting and harvest. The farm equipment dealer software holds serial numbers, hours, attachments, financing and warranty on each machine. Parts orders and field service calls are timed to the season.

Learn more

Aircraft dealers

An aircraft changes hands on paper long before it moves on a ramp. The aircraft dealer software holds each airframe with its hours, logbooks, offers, inspection findings and closing documents. The escrow stages are logged on that same record. Registration and export checklists are added during set-up, matched to your own market.

Learn more

Equipment rental companies

Equipment rental software holds each machine as one record with its hire history. The record carries its contracts, its delivery and return checks, its meter readings and its service dates, so the yard, the workshop and the accounts team read the same facts. Billing follows the hire period and the hours run. Damage found on return is tied to the contract that caused it.

Learn more

Excavation companies

Excavation company software holds each job as one record. The job carries its quoted quantities, the machines and operators sent to it, the loads hauled away, fuel burned and the claims raised against the work done. The office, the site foreman and the yard read the same figures. Hired plant and subcontractors are tracked beside your own fleet.

Learn more

Paving and road construction companies

Paving and road construction software holds each job as one record. The job carries its measured areas, the asphalt and aggregate delivered, and the crews and plant used per shift. Claims for each stage come from the same figures. Quality tests and site photographs stay with the job.

Learn more

Well-drilling companies

Well-drilling software holds every borehole as one job. The job carries its site survey, quotation, drilling log by depth, casing and pipe issued, crew days and fuel used. Yield tests and completion reports sit there too. Bills follow metres and items. Pump work and callouts join it.

Learn more

Mining companies

Mining company software holds each pit, quarry or underground working as a site with its own records. The people doing the work key shift output, haul trips, equipment hours, fuel and spares in once. Weighbridge tickets feed dispatch and invoices. Maintenance jobs, contractor orders and permits sit beside them, so managers read the same figures as the site office.

Learn more

Oil and gas companies

Oil and gas software for operators and field service companies holds each well, pad and facility as a record with its own production readings, jobs and costs. Field tickets, maintenance work, spares and contractor orders are logged where the work happens. Partner statements and invoices are drawn from those same entries. Field office and head office read one set of figures.

Builders and contractors

A builder or civil contractor works from BOQs, site indents, running account bills and weekly labour payments. The construction system sets material and labour against each site’s BOQ as work progresses. It builds RA bills from the measurement book, with retention and advance recovery taken off, so cost against budget is visible while the work is still under way.

Construction project managers

A project management consultant sells information: what was done, what it cost and what is late. Much of it is rebuilt by hand every Monday. The construction product records daily site reports and running bill certification as they happen, and RFIs, non-conformance reports and the weekly client MIS are built around it.

Machinery manufacturers

Machinery manufacturers build machines and panels to order from Excel BOMs and parts machined outside, so assembly waits on one part and AMC revenue slips away. The production system covers the BOM against the drawing, job work, assembly and testing. The installed base, AMC and the wear parts a customer needs in year three are built around it.

Industrial tools distributors

Industrial tools distributors supply power tools, cutting tools, abrasives, measuring instruments and safety items to factories, workshops and hardware dealers. Enquiries arrive as email lists, orders arrive as purchase orders, and payment follows bill submission weeks later. The software keeps the item master, quotations, PO-wise supply, tool repairs and brand targets in one place, so the counter, the sales engineer and accounts read the same record.

Learn more

Building material suppliers

Building material suppliers sell cement, steel, sand, blocks and aggregates to contractors on credit, take orders by phone, send loads by lorry and collect payment weekly. The system ties each order to its delivery note, its site and the contractor’s ledger, so outstanding amounts are visible against every site. Freight and lorry hire are recorded against the trip.

What they share

Where these businesses lose time and money.

Unit history lives in several places

Purchase papers sit with accounts. Service notes sit with the workshop. Hour readings stay with the operator, who may write them on a slip, a phone note or the back of a delivery docket. Nobody has the full file for a given serial number when a buyer or an inspector asks. The file is never whole.

Hours and fuel are not tied to a job

A dozer runs for a week and the timesheet names a site, but the fuel slip and the repair bill do not. The cost of the job is estimated, not recorded. That is a weak base for the next quote. Costs are guessed.

Availability is guessed at the yard gate

Rental yards answer quote requests from memory. A machine may be out for service, on another site or already promised. Double bookings follow. Nobody likes that call. So do idle days. Yards run on memory.

Service and inspection dates pass unnoticed

Hydraulic checks, drill rig inspections, aircraft maintenance milestones and operator certificates all fall due on different clocks. A spreadsheet seldom catches the one that matters. Nobody owns the reminder. Dates slip. Clocks differ by trade.

Trades differ on what is billed

Dealers invoice a sale with a trade-in and parts. Rental firms bill by period with damage and fuel. Drillers bill per metre, paving crews per tonne and miners track output. One billing rule cannot serve all of them. Billing rules diverge.

What the software does

What we build across heavy equipment.

A unit register with serials and hours

Give every machine, truck, rig or aircraft its own file: serial number, ownership, attachments, hour or flight readings, documents and a full service history. Nothing is retyped.

Quote, sale and trade-in for dealers

Raise quotes against stock units and attachments, record the trade-in valuation, and carry the deal through delivery, finance paperwork and warranty registration. One file per unit.

Booking, dispatch and return for rental

Reserve a unit against dates, record the outbound condition, bill by day, week or hour, and log the return with meter readings, fuel and any damage. Costs land on the job.

Job costing from machines and crews

Post machine hours, operator time, fuel, subcontractors and material to the job or cost code, so excavation, paving, drilling and building jobs show cost against budget as work proceeds. Hours come from the field.

Service plans, parts and work orders

Schedule maintenance by hours or date, raise a work order from a breakdown report, and draw parts from stock against the unit that used them. Dates drive the work.

Site, permit and safety records

Keep daily site reports, toolbox talks, permits, incident logs and operator certificates against the site and the person. Open items stay listed until they are closed. Records stay with the site.

Common questions

Questions heavy equipment businesses ask.

Will a single package cover all the heavy equipment trades?

No. Forklift, heavy equipment, farm equipment and aircraft dealers, rental companies, excavation, paving, drilling, mining and oil and gas firms each have a product. Machinery manufacturers and tools distributors are scoped to order, around the parts lists, price books and customer accounts that each of them keeps.

Can it read hours and location from the machines themselves?

Where the machine or a fitted telematics unit exposes that data, yes. The link is scoped per make and model, because each brand sends its readings in its own format and at its own interval. Manual entry stays available.

Will it work on sites with poor signal?

Yes, for the entry screens operators use in the field. Field entries wait on the handset and upload when signal comes back. Offline limits are agreed during scoping.

Does it replace our accounting software?

Not by default. It can post invoices, costs and payables to the accounting package you already use. A fuller replacement is possible. It is scoped as separate work, with its own review of ledgers, tax set-up and reporting.
