In the world of utility construction, efficient fleet management is essential for keeping projects on track and crews productive. Below you can check out three innovative software solutions designed to streamline operations, optimize resource allocation and maximize profitability.
Ditch Witch Orange Intel
To help equipment owners keep track of their fleet’s performance and increase the profitability of their business, Ditch Witch offers the Orange Intel fleet management system. Designed to centralize fleet and machine information, maintenance indicators and other vital data and insights, contractors can more efficiently monitor their job site history and equipment performance to improve their business. Through comprehensive reporting capabilities, operators have the power to track individual machine indicators, including working and idle hours, which enables them to schedule routine maintenance. The technical data provided in each machine can illuminate potential problems before they occur, such as keeping an eye on fuel and DEF levels, battery performance and other vital systems. With the ability to insert GPS-based, geofencing options, contractors can digitally construct a “fence” around their shop yards or job sites to track equipment movement and locate a lost or stolen machine. The notifications are then sent directly to contractors’ desktops or mobile devices.

Ritam Technologies Summit Smart Mapping
Ritam Technologies offers Smart Mapping in its Summit route management and rental system software. Previously, maps displayed optimized routes for efficiency and route assignments. Summit now allows the user to display a route or single address on the map and then drag any pin to a new position while the program updates its references automatically. In addition, for any location pin, the user can assign a new route and day instantly. The dynamic route monitoring screen allows the user to see technicians’ current locations and the status of each job on each color-coded route as unvisited, arrived, completed, issue or incomplete.
