ECIT Autogear

What do you like most?

For us, the equipment tracking feature is worth its weight in gold. Tools used to get left behind or go missing between building sites, but now we can see exactly where everything is. The logbook updates automatically, so the lads don’t have to enter anything manually, and I can see where the vehicles are when a customer asks when we’ll be arriving. It’s easy to get started, and the app is straightforward to use on the go.

What do you like least?

The Bluetooth chips on the smallest device update their position slightly more slowly than the GPS tracking on the cars. That makes sense from a technical point of view, but I had to understand the difference first.

What problems do you feel ECIT Autogear solves?

We no longer waste time and money on tools that go missing, and our logbook is in order without any hassle. I spend less time coordinating where people and vehicles are, and more time on the actual work.

What do you like most?

The fact that the same GPS system handles several requirements at once. We use Autogear to track machine hours and the location of equipment on site, and we also have a logbook and journey history for the machines travelling on public roads. We always know where everything is and how many hours each machine has been in operation – AND we avoid the never-ending search for equipment that has ‘gone missing’ and ended up on the wrong project.

What do you like least?

We had to spend a bit of time getting to grips with how the various subscriptions work together at the start. Support helped us get going quickly, but a simple overview from day one would have been nice.

What problems do you feel ECIT Autogear solves?

Control over machinery and equipment across projects, with maintenance and servicing based on actual operating hours rather than guesswork, and documented mileage for machinery used on public roads. We save time, avoid equipment being left idle, and always have a clear overview.
