Operations and Equipment Management Data Delivery

“There are numerous GPS systems out there, lots of proprietary systems,
infrared systems, all kinds of devices, and none of them tell you how much fuel
was pumped. We opted for OEM DD’s engineered solution. If you can capture
hours, and fuel – and more information when you need to – and document it,
report it and automate it into accounting, that’s a practical solution.

Also, we spent $500,000 on fuel last quarter, and a hefty percentage was
off-highway. We get road taxes refunded quickly, and without discussion,
because we have excellent documentation. That’s a benefit of the system
that pays off every 12 weeks, forever.”

“OEM DD’s solutions have a wide application within this company. From a regulatory
standpoint, landfills are overseen by all kinds of agencies and there are lots of
environmental compliance reporting and recording requirements we go through.

In operations paperwork alone, I save 15 hours per month (of data inputting)
vs. zero hours per month. And the information is 70% more accurate. I created a
spread sheet for the guys to use, but it’s not nearly as detailed as this. The
Service Tracker information is lots better – and lots sooner.

This has been a major step for us: this company is very strict about who can
access to our network. But the managers see what we’ve achieved. Now, I can
plug into a computer and understand the maintenance issues without wading
through all those pre and post equipment inspection forms: I can say
‘I want to see it now,’ click a button and start looking.”

"If you can program a number into a cell phone, you can use this system.
You can tell it was designed by construction guys, it’s so easy to learn and use.”

“Our fuelers are much quicker and more accurate in fuel tracking and reporting
of hours. The clear and concise Job Info Tracker reports can bring fuel based
maintenance to the forefront.”

“We reduced our overhead staff by 2 employees, expect to reduce fuel slippage,
and bill the jobs for the actual hours of equipment use utilizing the Job Info Tracker
products. We will continue to use the products to automate manual processes.
This includes reporting of labor, equipment, quantities by each of the jobs.”

John Sharp, CEM
Maintenance Operations Manager

“The Service Tracker is a labor-saving device. Prior to their use, we had to
obtain equipment hours from each piece of equipment biweekly. Then the
hours were entered manually into a spreadsheet program whereby the
entries were calculated and data provided indicated when the next service
was due. With the Service Tracker, obtaining the data is as simple as
"point & click". The data is uploaded daily to a PC where the calculations
are done electronically and all service due information is provided almost
instantly. An operation that formerly took two to three hours can now be
done in ½ hour.”

Mark Lester

Regional Equip Manager

Trackers provide automatic, hands-free, gathering of hour meter information.
Trackers ensure timely servicing of equipment while reducing over-servicing.
Trackers are less costly than GPS and they promote on-site VISUAL
inspections of the equipment. “

“This is just a quick note to let you know that Pulice Construction intends on
installing the “Service Tracker” on all of our equipment. As you know we have
been experimenting with “Service Tracker” for the past few months. As the
Equipment Manager for one of the largest construction companies in Arizona,
I have never seen a program as accurate and easy to use as this one
(not to mention the fact that all vital equipment information is now stored
in my shirt pocket).”
