Palmer Paving
In business over 60 years with locations throughout Massachusetts, Palmer Paving is a fully integrated heavy highway, paving, and material provider that operates combination drum and batch hot mix asphalt manufacturing facilities and quarries.
- More than five hundred assets throughout New England, managing the assets, including pavers, rollers, trailers, generators, buckets, attachments, etc., is critical to the company’s profitable operation.
"Tenna’s... platform will enable us to expand our tracking to include assets used in our day to day operations that were otherwise impractical, expensive or simply impossible to track with other mediums."
Business Need
With challenges communicating between the field and the equipment management team, it was common for smaller assets to be left behind or larger paving equipment to be moved without management knowing.
Palmer Paving sought to improve their asset management by replacing their manual systems consisting of spreadsheets, tablet notes and historical lookback with a system that provides real-time data, increased efficiency and automated insights on asset location, history, condition and disposition.
How Tenna Helped
After teaming with Tenna in 2016, the Palmer Paving crews were able to begin using the system in the field to help the team find the smaller assets and also facilitate better communication between different people moving larger pieces of equipment between operations every day.
- Consolidated all assets onto one cental system
- Adopted the Tenna App in the field
- Implemented effortless, fast scanning into operations to track and manage their mixed fleet
