Heavy Equipment
Heavy equipment operators, contractors, and asset-intensive operations
DirectX builds equipment tracking, utilization analytics, maintenance management, project allocation, and operator mobile systems for companies that own and operate heavy equipment across construction, mining, agriculture, and infrastructure.
Operational Challenges
- ✕No visibility into equipment location or utilization across job sites
- ✕Manual hour-meter readings and paper service logs
- ✕Reactive maintenance leading to costly breakdowns
- ✕No cost allocation of equipment to specific projects
- ✕Equipment idle time and underutilization eating profitability
- ✕Disconnected systems between field, maintenance, and accounting
