General Construction
No ReKeying — Every Tech Arrives Knowing the Full History of That Unit
When a tech arrives at a site, the unit's full service history should be in their hand — not in a binder in the machine room or in a retired tech's memory. No ReKeying means every field entry becomes a permanent digital record linked to that specific equipment serial number.

GCs coordinate dozens of subs, phases, and inspections. Daily logs, safety reports, change orders, and draw requests on paper create a documentation nightmare — and when a dispute lands in arbitration, the paper trail decides who pays.

How Equipment Service History Actually Looks in General Construction
The Scenario
A construction company owns 12 pieces of equipment. When a skid steer breaks down on a job site, the foreman calls the shop to ask what was done to it last. Nobody knows — service records are in a folder somewhere at the shop.
The Real Impact
Equipment breakdowns without service history cost $800–$4,000 per incident in diagnostic time, expedited parts, and rental equipment while the unit is down.
Does This Sound Like Your General Construction Operation?
- !Techs arrive with no knowledge of what was done to the unit last time
- !Service history is split across paper binders, emails, and one person's memory
- !Repeated diagnostics on the same unit because nobody documented the root cause
The Cost of Doing Nothing
Arriving without unit history adds 45–90 minutes of diagnostic re-work per service call. At $100/hour and 3 such calls per tech per week, that is $15K–$23K/year in wasted labor per technician.
What General Construction Companies Typically Use
These tools are great at what they do — but they don't eliminate the equipment service history gap. That's what we build.
