Control over equipment
In the world of construction projects, quality equipment management is a crucial factor for success. Efficiently managing equipment plays an essential role in ensuring construction quality, minimizing waste, and meeting project deadlines. Traditionally, equipment management was done manually, often leading to errors, delays, and a lack of transparency. With KPD Logistics and various add-ons like Logistics App, Inspections App & Requirements App, construction companies can streamline and optimize their equipment management process. It offers an integrated and standardized approach to plan, order, track, and manage equipment throughout all phases of the construction project.

Are you also facing these pitfalls?
Current pitfalls
As a construction professional, there are several pitfalls in quality equipment management that you may encounter in the current climate. It’s important to be aware of these challenges to address them effectively and improve the efficiency of your projects.
Incomplete data recording
If the registration of equipment usage is not accurate, gaps can appear in the data. This can make it difficult to get a complete and accurate picture of equipment occupancy and performance.
Neglect of overhead costs
Equipment performance can be considered an overhead cost, and sometimes construction companies tend to focus on direct project costs, overlooking indirect costs. Neglecting overhead costs can lead to distorted figures regarding equipment occupancy. Proper registration provides an immediate overview.
Inadequate approach to downtime
While equipment downtime may be seen as cost-effective compared to transportation costs for retrieval, it’s important to strike a balance. Too much downtime can disrupt project planning and reduce equipment occupancy, which incurs costs in the long run.
Lack of proactive maintenance
The absence of a proper maintenance plan can lead to unexpected equipment breakdowns and downtime. Failure to adhere to a regular maintenance schedule can negatively impact equipment occupancy and increase repair costs.
Limited insight into availability
Without a clear overview of equipment availability, it can be challenging to plan which equipment is needed when. This can lead to inefficiencies in resource allocation and reduced equipment occupancy.
Unexpected breakdowns
If construction equipment is not regularly maintained and inspected, it can break down unexpectedly at critical moments, causing project delays and extra costs.
