For equipment-heavy businesses, managing assets across several sites is no easy task. Without the right system in place, ineffective communication and operational inefficiencies may become rampant, causing expensive delays and frustration within the team.
Tracket is a cloud-based asset management platform built to streamline and automate asset monitoring and allocation. This article will explain how Tracket can promote effortless collaboration in the team.
The Challenge
Imagine Jenny as a business owner of a construction firm with teams spread across multiple locations. Before discovering Tracket, the company found it difficult to monitor their tools and machinery—missing inventory, overlooked maintenance schedules, and frequent delays.
For instance, the team in Location A was forced to halt their operations for a construction project because an essential piece of equipment was unavailable, only to find out the next day that it was sitting idly at Location C. Because of lack of visibility and poor communication, valuable time and money were wasted.
The Solution
Realizing the need for a powerful system, Jenny did some research and came across Tracket—a web-based platform designed to streamline asset management. Jenny decided to give it a try for her business, and eventually, Tracket became an integral part of their operations. Jenny was especially satisfied with Tracket with the following:
- Real-Time Tracking – Tracket streamlined all the assets of the construction firm so they can be easily tracked anytime, anywhere. With this, the team is always aware of an asset’s status, location, and performance, thereby reducing downtime. To read more about why real-time tracking is no longer an option, click here.

- Streamlined Asset Allocation – Tracket’s centralized dashboard allowed Jenny and her managers to efficiently allocate inventory across locations. Whether it was moving equipment from one place to another, or making sure that a location had enough tools for a new project, the construction firm’s process ran smoother than ever.
The Tracket Effect
Ever since Tracket became a part of the company’s operations, Jenny and the team have observed significant results:
- Project delays were significantly reduced. Tracket’s centralized data and real-time tracking made it easier for the teams to monitor their assets and availability, resulting in significantly improved project timelines.
- Tracket’s automated maintenance alerts prevented sudden equipment breakdowns, which are usually costly. Consequently, Jenny and her team were able to significantly cut expenses by addressing minor issues right away.
- Since the company’s asset allocation has been optimized, redundancies were eliminated and every piece of equipment was ensured to be utilized. Not only does this cut costs but it also improves the operational efficiency of the construction firm.
- Tracket provides clear tracking and reporting features, allowing everyone on the team to know an asset’s status, thereby increasing accountability. This transparency also significantly reduced cases of lost equipment.
- With the streamlined asset data, teams no longer experience the hassle and frustration of missing equipment or sudden delays, and a more cooperative and effective work atmosphere has developed.
Jenny’s experience demonstrates how Tracket can transform a business. Aside from increasing the operational efficiency of the construction firm, Tracket also promoted increased teamwork across her dispersed teams by automating maintenance schedules, streamlining asset allocation, and granting real-time access to asset data. What was once a disjointed team with an inefficient process is now a smooth operation that makes the most of all available tools and resources.
