BorgSolutions’ Astral was originally developed for the unique needs of the Construction Industry. Construction companies regardless of their size or geographic location suffer from the same pains when it comes to their fleet management needs but no two companies administer their fleet alike. In addition, companies have mixed asset environments comprised of many types, makes and models. Many are affected by their company’s lack of priority in preventive maintenance, making breakdowns a common occurrence and repairs a laborious task to administer. Current tools available to construction fleets have tried to assist with these problems, but most have either been too complicated to be adopted by the maintenance staff or too costly to implement. Leaving many companies to rely on paper or simple computer spreadsheets for fleet administration.
To truly assist the Construction Industry, Astral had to be constructed with flexibility and ease of use as part of its core architecture. Its architecture was built to accommodate all types of different movable assets, such as: heavy equipment, vehicles and machines irrelevant of there type, make, or model. Astral’s design also incorporates a user-friendly interface delivered in SaaS (web-based solution; from any computer connected to the internet), providing for a simple, inexpensive deployment and implementation. But the most important feature Astral provides is its intuition. Astral takes key individual asset data points, such as: odometer readings, fuel levels, and engine hours, and transforms them into action items in the form of: work orders, purchase orders and alerts. Eliminating guesswork and providing truly beneficial action items based on timely data needed to keep the entire fleet in optimum performance.
To be of true benefit to a construction fleet, whose daily challenges in operation include the scheduling of repairs, maintenance of equipments and vehicles, inventory management, and personnel administration, automation is key. By taking raw data from equipment and vehicles, such as: odometer readings, age of units, maintenance schedules and other key factors, Astral is able to “digest” these factors and pre-populates action items in the form of work orders, purchase orders, and alerts. Leaving in employee hands accurate and up to the minute “marching orders” that streamline and optimize the performance of the entire fleet.
Astral automates the tracking of inventory and alerts users on inventory levels. Notifying users if they are low on a part that would normally be kept in stock. Astral also automates the restocking process by pre-populating quote requests and purchase orders for these parts. New inventory can also be administered thru the system by utilizing the quote request and purchase order system.
