Pocket Box targets construction with asset management software solution

Pocket Box, a cloud and app based software company, has upgraded its software solution due to the increasing demand from SME contractors. The improved system is said to help manage vehicles, plants, tools, and drivers.

The company says the new asset module is designed to save time, maintain compliance, and reduce costs.

It also addresses the issue of equipment theft, loss, and underutilisation that costs the UK construction sector billions of pounds annually.

“Our new asset module within Pocket Box Fleet will provide added functionality to help contractors maintain, monitor and protect a wide range of powered, unpowered and portable equipment within their operations,” explains Jim Finnegan, CEO of Pocket Box Ltd.

“With the ability to manage plant and tools alongside a vehicle fleet, it is possible to bring everything together into a single system to deliver complete visibility and control over physical resources.”

The asset module can be customised to manage a variety of construction equipment, including plant, machinery, generators, hand, power, utility, and safety tools.

The dashboard and notification system enable the user to manage tasks, with features such as comprehensive maintenance, safety compliance, and inventory management. 

With the Pocket Box Fleet app, users can perform a tool audit simultaneously with their daily vehicle and equipment safety checks. Pocket Box says that this allows them to identify the last known location and condition of smaller items that have been allocated to them.

In addition, this feature enables contractors to keep track of portable assets, ensuring that mobile teams have the necessary tools to complete their jobs and minimising the impact of lost and stolen equipment.
