Future-proof your construction operations

The construction industry has long been defined by the power of its machines. But today, true operational success goes beyond hardware—it’s about integrating smart, data-driven solutions that improve efficiency, reduce costs, and drive sustainability.

Turn your challenges into opportunities 

Across the industry, businesses are navigating rising fuel costs, emission targets, and the complexity of managing mixed fleets - all while maintaining productivity. The good news? There are solutions available right now for almost every challenge. For example: 

  • Struggling with high fuel costs and emissions? By optimizing cycle routes and reducing idling you can cut fuel consumption by up to 20%. 
  • Managing multiple brands in your fleet? Digital solutions provide a single platform for full visibility across all machines. 
  • Want to improve safety and uptime? Proactive monitoring and predictive maintenance help avoid costly breakdowns and unplanned stops. 

With thousands of connected machines and real-time insights, you can make data-backed decisions that lead to measurable improvements.

Machines are no longer just machines 

We have over 170,000 connected machines. The days of working in silos are over, which means that everyone involved in a site’s operations knows exactly how machines are performing, how operators are working and of course how things can be improved. Live performance data enables you to: 

  • Track machine utilization and operator performance 
  • Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies 
  • Make strategic, fact-based investment decisions 

This connectivity revolution isn’t just about monitoring—it’s about unlocking real business value with data-driven actions. 

Service Solutions=Immediate Gains 

Electrification is already here, but we know that the transformation speed is unique for every customer. While this shift takes time, digital service solutions can immediately help reduce CO₂ emissions and costs today—no matter where you are on your journey:

  • Identify fuel-wasting patterns and optimize workflows to cut idling, downtime and CO₂ emissions 
  • Guide operators in real-time with smart maps to reduce queues, unnecessary travel, and fuel use across the site
  • Monitor actual CO₂ emissions across all machine brands to pinpoint where improvements will have the greatest impact
  • Use site simulations and tailored reports to test improvements, set measurable targets, and reduce your carbon footprint before making changes in the field
  • Get real-time insights into fuel efficiency and production through automated data capture, enabling smarter, faster decisions that lower emissions and costs.
Even small operational tweaks can drive significant savings, and when applied across multiple sites, the impact grows exponentially.
