Equipment Management. It Matters.
Construction industry professionals, like you, work hard to meet the challenges of up-and-down business cycles. These days, more companies are bidding for fewer jobs, capital costs are rising, and skilled operators are in short supply.

One way to overcome these pressures is through effective equipment management. New technologies can transform your equipment data into a powerful management tool for reducing costs, creating efficiencies and improving profitability.

Cat® EMSolutions (Equipment Management Solutions) puts the latest technologies to work for your business, offering specialized advice and easy-to-use targeted services.

How Equipment Management Benefits Your Business
You can achieve four of your main business objectives with greater efficiency using equipment management.

Control Costs. Equipment data shows you what your real costs are, which is the first step toward bringing costs in line with your goals. Use monitoring technology to:

Pinpoint problem areas

Prioritize and streamline tasks

Access data that helps you better manage direct expenses such as labor, fuel, maintenance and repairs
Use reports to find and eliminate excess idle time and reduce your total fuel costs.
Accurate cost tracking sets the foundation for repair and maintenance analysis. This enables you to plan the best time for major overhauls or replacements.
