Earthwave's FleetWatcher has integrated with B2W Software, resulting in added functionality for customers. Machine hour readings from FleetWatcher equipped assets flow through to populate B2W modules, thus eliminating the manual input of this information. Because data is tied to equipment activity, the real-time data details who worked and for how long, thus eliminating time-card overhangs.
Information from rolling assets as well as off-road equipment is automatically captured for heavy construction contractors of all sizes. Contractors using B2W to manage operations and equipment maintenance can leverage the integration with FleetWatcher telematics to complete the data transfer chain. With automated data capture and reporting from project to payment, contractors can manage projects.
Equipment idle hours and operating hours information from FleetWatcher can be manually input into the B2W Track module. Synching the two can give contractors a better view of the completed project, so they can use a blended rate to estimate similar future projects.
Equipment meter readings are passed to the B2W Maintain equipment maintenance module to drive automated preventive maintenance programs for timely notifications and completion. Using the equipment GPS coordinates, B2W Maintain can provide real-time equipment location that can be used to support field mechanics and reduce travel time.
Additional capabilities surrounding the integration is available when contractors utilize the geo-zones to see and manage the equipment being used within them.
FleetWatcher provides a flow of data to support the functionality of other popular programs including Viewpoint, sage, Haul Hub, OnStation and many more. Additionally, data can be imported into Fleetwatcher from Vista such as project and equipment information creating a central source of truth and eliminating duplicate entry of the information.
“We understand that customers utilize many different software programs, so we take pride in integrating with them,” said FleetWatcher founder Larry Baker. “We were the first telematics platform to integrate with Viewpoint back in 2010, and since then our seamless data flow has helped countless customers operate more efficiently and effectively.”
