Equipment tracking

Know which job has the machine—and what its record says.

See assigned operators, jobs, and recorded hours. Add Fleet Maintenance for issues and service history. Pickup-ready and driver handoffs belong to Lowboy Dispatch; assignment is not live GPS.

Before the next move

Check the machine before changing the plan.

Assignment

See the assigned job, operator, or business location.

Availability

Review the recorded assignment and daily machine entries before planning the next job.

Recorded hours

Keep meter readings and their dates on the machine.

Service history

With Fleet Maintenance, review issues, work orders, and completed service.

Excavator EX-14 has a current operator, assigned job, manually recorded hour meter, and a pickup-ready handoff.

Review the operator, assigned job, and entered meter. The illustrated pickup-ready handoff belongs to Lowboy Dispatch; state changes require a connection.

  1. Find the assigned machine.
  2. Read the operator and job context.
  3. Explore Lowboy for the pickup-ready handoff.

Equipment assignment, recorded hours, and maintenance

Assignment, not GPS
The record shows where a machine is assigned. It does not provide a live position or breadcrumb trail.
Entered meter readings
Hours come from recorded readings, not automatic engine telemetry.
Fleet Maintenance
Add Fleet Maintenance to Core or Growing with one mechanic/oiler seat. The module is included on Full Operations.
Dimensional equipment, issue, and service record cards with a small illustrated excavator and saved-history marks.

The issue and service history belong to the machine. Repair work and routine visits use Fleet Maintenance.

Example: prepare an excavator for its next job

Illustrative assignment handoff.

  1. Check the record

    Review the job, operator, status, and latest entered hours.

  2. Record readiness

    With Fleet Maintenance, record a machine issue. For pickup-ready signals, use Lowboy Dispatch.

  3. Plan the move

    The office reviews the next assignment. Lowboy Dispatch manages the equipment move and driver handoff.

The details that matter

Four records answer four different equipment questions.

An assigned machine is not necessarily a working machine, and a completed repair is not a GPS position. Keeping the records distinct makes the equipment board more useful.

Who is the operator?
One current person can be assigned to each machine; a person may hold several machines. Past daily records stay with the equipment when that assignment ends.
Where is it assigned?
The job or business-location assignment provides the operating context. Confirm the latest field record when planning a move; there is no live telematics position feed.
What was recorded today?
The operator daily record can collect hours used, cleaning, fuel fills, and service checks according to the account’s field settings. Meter readings are entered rather than pulled from engine hardware.
What work does it need?
Fleet Maintenance keeps the reported issue, work order, and completed service as separate records. Review the repair context and recorded readiness before sending the machine to its next job.

Practical questions before you choose.

Do we need trackers installed on the machines?

CutFill’s assignment and entered-hours workflow does not require a telematics device. It depends on people keeping the job, operator, daily entries, and readiness record current. Live GPS, engine telemetry, and geofencing are separate requirements.

Are equipment records included before adding Fleet Maintenance?

Core includes equipment assignments and daily records. Fleet Maintenance adds issue reporting, work orders, and service history, with one mechanic/oiler seat. Add the module to Core or Growing; it is included on Full Operations.
