Construction fleet management is about coordination. When you’re managing multiple live projects, a delivery going to the wrong site or a dumper sitting idle while another job needs it quickly eats into margins.
The issue is rarely with the site teams; it’s the lack of visibility. By the time you realise the mixer is still at the depot or the wrong van has collected materials, the groundworks crew has already lost an hour.
RAM Tracking gives you real operational visibility across sites so you can make decisions based on what is actually happening on the ground, not phone calls and guesswork.
We already support over 2,000 forward-thinking construction companies across the UK, from regional contractors to multi-site operators, that have upgraded their operations to this smarter alternative.
Construction vehicles rarely just travel from A to B. You’re coordinating teams across several active sites, moving plant between jobs, managing subcontractors, and keeping materials flowing without delays.
A van being “somewhere near the M60” doesn’t help when you need to know whether steel has been collected, whether the excavator is still at the yard, or if your work crew has actually arrived on site.
Construction fleet management needs to support project-based work, not just journey history. Plant hire costs, weather disruption, site access restrictions and tight programmes all add pressure to get this right.
Multiple sites competing for the same plant is a daily challenge. GPS fleet tracking shows you exactly where every van, truck, and asset is, so you can deploy equipment properly and avoid paying hire costs on machinery sitting idle.
You can see:
Whether plant is on the correct site or still at the depot
If equipment is being moved or used outside working hours
Which team is closest when a site needs urgent support
Timestamped site arrival and departure data for billing and disputes
This visibility helps improve plant utilisation, reduce wasted journeys, and keep projects moving.
Construction fleets operate in tight access areas, residential streets and busy city centres, often with mixed driver experience across the workforce. When an incident happens, clear evidence matters.
Connected dash cams provide video footage of driving events, helping to resolve insurance claims quickly and protect your business against false liability.
Driver behaviour data also highlights risky habits early, enabling managers to coach before accidents, vehicle damage or downtime occur.
For construction fleet management teams, improving safety protects both people and project timelines.
Delays between completing work and raising invoices often come down to missing paperwork. Photos not taken, hours not logged, variations not recorded, or subcontractor sign-offs chased days later.
Klipboard’s job management software lets field teams capture site records on its mobile app while work is happening:
Photos of completed work and progress stages
Materials delivered and used on site
Labour hours and task completion
Subcontractor sign-offs and customer approval
Multi-site visibility
Full visibility across your construction fleet, teams and plant on every active site. Coordinate resources and redeploy quickly when plans change.
Accurate site hours
Know exactly when teams arrived and left the site. Reduce overtime disputes and support accurate client billing for time and materials work.
Reduce plant waste
Track usage properly and avoid paying thousands each month for underutilised hired plant or machinery.
Project evidence
Capture photos and records as work progresses to support valuations, variation claims and client sign-off.
Construction fleet tracking shows live vehicle locations and realistic arrival times, allowing site managers to plan labour and unloading properly. If a delivery is heading to the wrong site, you can redirect it before materials are unloaded incorrectly.
Yes. Trackers can be fitted to dumpers, excavators, mixers, generators and other mobile plant. You can see where assets are located, how often they are moved, and receive alerts if equipment moves outside working hours.
Klipboard captures when subcontractors arrive and leave the site, hours worked, and sign-off on completed work. This supports CIS reporting and helps resolve disputes over hours worked or work completed.
Larger clients expect accurate reporting, site attendance records, and audit trails. Digital fleet management for construction demonstrates operational control and professionalism during tenders and audits.
Construction businesses lose time and money through poor visibility, plant sitting idle, and paperwork delays. Better fleet management software for construction makes a measurable difference to delivery and your bottom line.
RAM Tracking helps you see where your teams and assets are, what’s happening on site, and whether work is progressing as planned. With over 2,000 construction companies already using our platform, we understand the realities of running live sites day to day.
