Key questions from construction fleet executives
Most construction fleets see positive ROI within 4-6 months. Initial improvements (10-15% uptime increase) typically occur within 30-60 days. Full implementation achieving 95%+ uptime delivers 300-500% ROI within 12-18 months. See detailed metrics in our construction benchmark.
Higher uptime reliability allows for more competitive bidding with 15-20% tighter margins. Reduced equipment risk enables taking on 25-30% more projects annually. Improved reputation from on-time completion increases win rates by 35%. Learn implementation strategies in our construction playbook.
