You are dealing with a fixed asset that can soak you dry. Your equipment is the baseline for your profitability, but if you are like a large number of contractors, you are only keeping track of equipment cost as a lump item in your accounting system. If this describes your situation and the reason is that it’s such a hassle to manage your equipment, the BLUEGRASS EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE CONTROL SYSTEM is your answer.

The BLUEGRASS SYSTEM will put a solid cost history at your disposal. Every part purchased and every hour of mechanic time can be charged to an individual piece of equipment with ease. With the Bluegrass dispatch portion of the system you will have up to the minute information as to location of any piece of equipment you own. You will also have historic information on where the equipment has been. History can be saved and retrieved for any time period. Before sending a mechanic out to the field you can find out what other machines are on the job and what needs to be done on those machines.

The Bluegrass System tracks this important information allowing you to compare hours used versus consumption to spot potential problem areas before they happen.

When you have several types of equipment, all of which have a different manufacturer recommended maintenance schedule, tight control of PM can get challenging. The Bluegrass System allows you to establish a different list of requirements for each piece of equipment and will print the work order listing each requirement when due. A computerized PM program should result in a 10% savings in PM cost.

The Bluegrass System gives you the information to make an intelligent decision instead of an emotional one. Reports showing revenue generated versus repair cost over any period will point out equipment costing you money. You will be able to say “Brand A may cost us 5% more to purchase, but it cost us 10% less in maintenance.
