How Tenna Helped
After partnering with Tenna, R.J. Grondin improved overall asset visibility within the company.
One of the things I like best about the Tenna platform is the integrated live map view. I can tell...where all of our assets are in real time. It’s very helpful when we’re looking to locate certain assets or understand how our projects are staffed with our various pieces of equipment. It also helps immensely when we're trying to locate certain assets for the dispatcher.
Before, we would spend hours running around looking for different types of equipment because we'd be spread out at jobs and no one would know exactly where those assets are. Now, with a phone call or by pulling the [Tenna] app up on [our] phone or iPad, [we're] able to tell what assets are where.
Tenna helps R.J. Grondin make better business decisions with insights into equipment utilization.
[Our] most used features on the Tenna platform [are] the location as well as utilization. We look at how often...our equipment [is] running, at previous shifts over the past week, over the last month and it really helps us make decisions about where to allocate our resources on what projects based on how they're being utilized.
Tenna’s single platform eliminated the need for multiple systems and provided a valuable maintenance information.
One of the unexpected benefits or improvements that we've seen since using Tenna is on the maintenance side. When we were initially looking at Tenna...we were really looking at it for an asset tracking software or solution, and we were able to utilize the maintenance side of Tenna to get rid of our previous maintenance software which was super helpful to us.
