OPTIMISE YOUR TOOL PARK
Increase efficiency and reduce the cost of ownership
Key jobsite productivity drivers
Using modern equipment
There are many brands and types of tools to choose from.
This seemingly straightforward choice of construction equipment and tools often affects the amount of time and effort required to complete a job, so can have a big impact on the productivity of a project.
Armed with the latest tools, your workforce can work more productively and if you choose a partner who can guarantee you support for when breakdowns occur, your business will avoid costly downtime due to unreliable tools.
Understanding the real costs of your tool park
Have you ever thought about how much your tools are really costing you?
What you pay for the initial purchase of your tools is usually only the beginning as the cost of ownership comes with many direct and indirect fees. From repair and maintenance, calibration and batteries, to the time it takes to organise tools.
To calculate the true cost of your tools, you’ll first need to highlight the direct and indirect costs. The purchase price is often only the tip of the iceberg.
Managing safety and risk
The construction industry is particularly vulnerable to theft because there are often untested personnel onsite.
In order to reduce the risk of theft onsite, you need to have a clear record of all equipment and materials owned by your business. This encourages workers to take more care of their tools, leading to fewer lost or stolen items.
Having a clear record of everything also brings Health and Safety benefits as you can easily keep track of employee training certificates and calibration and service certificates to make sure your teams are operating safely with certified equipment.
Embracing digitization
When it comes to increasing productivity, adopting digital technology is the fastest path to the biggest payoff.
It’s important to have the ability to measure data on your construction sites and projects, such as how well your tools are being utilised, where your tools and equipment are and when your employee and calibration certificates are due.
This means you will be more informed on the areas in your business where you can make productivity improvements and save money.
