For one equipment dealer, managing pickups, deliveries, and equipment movement meant relying heavily on whiteboards and manual updates.

For many fleets, knowing where a trailer is only tells part of the story. Some fleets use the Pedigree Technologies Tail Light Tracker to go beyond basic location tracking and better understand how trailers are used, the conditions they operate in, and when maintenance may be needed.

Construction sites are constantly changing environments. Heavy equipment, workers on foot, vehicles, materials, and obstacles all compete for space throughout the day. Even experienced operators can face visibility challenges that increase risk and make it difficult to see everything happening around the machine.

For many service organizations, the question isn't whether a vehicle arrived at a jobsite. It's whether the work was actually completed. Utility companies, landscaping contractors, spraying operations, and other field service organizations often need a way to verify when equipment was actively working, not simply when a vehicle was present.

When operations teams don't know the real-time status of their vehicles, trailers, or equipment, decisions slow down. Dispatchers make phone calls. Maintenance teams chase updates. Drivers are interrupted for status checks. Valuable time is spent tracking down information instead of acting on it.

In Canada, handling explosives is governed by the Explosives Act, a federal law that regulates the manufacture, storage, transport, and use of blasting materials, electric detonators, and other devices that could present a hazard if triggered unintentionally.

For construction companies, knowing where equipment is and how long it’s running is essential. But the value of this data goes far beyond location tracking.

Delays at ports can stall schedules, increase costs, and create unnecessary headaches. Using OneView’s geofencing, heat mapping, and dynamic filtering, one customer transformed how they track materials and shipments, without adding extra manual work.

Today’s fleet challenges don’t wait for you to get back to the office. With OneView Mobile, customers can take action on the go, no desk, no laptop, no delays.

External and dash cameras are often seen only as tools for monitoring drivers or documenting accidents.

Daily Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIRs) are often seen as a trucking-only requirement. But many companies operate specialized equipment—cranes, loaders, excavators, and other heavy machinery—that also needs regular inspection. Missing parts, hidden damage, or unresolved maintenance issues can quickly lead to costly downtime, unsafe conditions, and lost productivity.

When most people think of temperature monitoring, they usually picture refrigerated trailers. But in industries like pipeline rehabilitation, maintaining precise temperature during transport is just as critical.
