Construction Equipment Maintenance for Mixed Fleets
Streamline equipment maintenance and repairs with one connected system built for field, shop, and office teams.
Simplify and Optimize Equipment Maintenance Across
Your Entire Fleet
Construction companies rely on a variety of assets to get the job done, but managing the operation and maintenance of a mixed fleet effectively is critical to keeping projects on schedule, controlling costs, and ensuring worker safety.
With a construction equipment maintenance solution, you get a system designed to simplify and automate maintenance tasks. This helps reduce downtime and increase uptime for your whole operation.
Why a CMMS is Essential in Construction
Many construction companies still use paper logs, whiteboards or spreadsheets to manage their equipment maintenance. These outdated and disjointed methods create gaps in communication resulting in missed service intervals and unsafe operation, creating hazards and making it difficult to truly track maintenance history or costs.
These inefficiencies can lead to:
Unexpected
breakdowns
Extended
downtime
Project
delays
Safety
concerns
Inflated
repair costs
Frustrated field
teams and mechanics
Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) software specifically designed for the construction industry helps eliminate these challenges by centralizing, automating, and streamlining maintenance operations.
The Benefits of Construction Equipment
Maintenance with Tenna
Prevent Costly Downtime
By staying ahead of maintenance tasks with real-time alerts and preventive maintenance schedules, you reduce the risk of equipment failure at the worst possible time—on the jobsite.
Extend Equipment Lifespan
Well-maintained assets last longer. Get visibility into service intervals, track historical data, and ensure routine maintenance happens on time to protect your equipment investment.
Improve Safety and Compliance
Avoid safety hazards caused by poorly maintained machinery. Ensure your equipment is always in peak condition to minimize risk and support compliance with safety regulations.
Boost Team Productivity
Maintenance teams receive automatic notifications when service is due and can automatically create requests in the system. Field teams can also submit repair requests directly from their mobile devices.
Reduce Maintenance Costs
A proactive maintenance program is far more cost-effective than reactive repairs. Tenna helps you optimize your maintenance spend by preventing minor issues from becoming expensive problems.
