How does POD track equipment location across multiple jobsites?

POD integrates with equipment telematics, GPS trackers, and daily field reports to maintain a live asset location registry. When a machine moves between sites, the record updates automatically. When telematics are not available, the superintendent daily check-in captures location via voice or form. The result is a map view that shows every major asset and its current site assignment.

What does FleetUtilization measure and why does it matter?

FleetUtilization measures what percentage of available fleet hours are actually generating productive work — broken down by asset type, site, and week. A crane at 31% utilization for three days is generating $2,496 in idle cost. POD surfaces that number so the decision to reassign is obvious, not optional.

Can POD tell me which site needs which equipment before the request is made?

Yes. POD cross-references upcoming schedule milestones at each site with current equipment assignments and utilization rates. When a site is about to hit a phase that needs specific equipment, and that equipment is sitting idle at another site, POD surfaces the reassignment opportunity proactively — before the PM makes the call.

Asset Failures — Location Intelligence

Your Excavator Is Somewhere.

Your $340,000 excavator is somewhere. You think it is at the Riverside project. Your PM thinks it went to the Highland site last Thursday. Your equipment manager is calling around. This is not how you manage a $340,000 asset — POD knows exactly where it is, right now.

Without POD

PM calls equipment manager. Equipment manager calls foreman. Foreman is not sure.

With POD

Every machine: site, status (active/idle/staged), and scheduled departure

Idle assets flagged with utilization rate and reassignment suggestion

FleetUtilization calculated weekly by site — not annually in a spreadsheet

No phone calls. No guessing. One screen shows the whole fleet.

Question Marks to Asset Intelligence

Before POD: your fleet is a map of question marks. After POD: every asset is visible with utilization data.

One Screen. Every Asset. Every Site.

Real-Time Site Map

Every major asset assigned to a site with live status: active, idle, staged, or unavailable. The map updates as the daily field reports come in.

Idle Asset Alerts

When a high-value asset sits idle for more than 24 hours, POD sends a push alert with the idle cost per day and a list of sites that need it.

FleetUtilization by Site

Not just a fleet-wide number — utilization broken down by asset type, site, and week. The 31% crane at Site B is the number your CFO will ask about.

Mobilization Scheduling

Need to move the excavator from Site A to Site B next week? POD schedules the mobilization window against both project schedules to minimize impact.

Arrival and Departure Tracking

When did the telehandler arrive at Site C? When is it scheduled to leave? POD maintains the full movement history for every asset.

Utilization vs Scheduled Demand

POD compares current utilization to upcoming schedule milestones — flagging reassignment opportunities before the PM needs to ask.
