Construction remains one of the least digitized industries—with many projects taking 20% longer to finish and going up to 80% over budget. The industry is at a turning point, where long-term winners are based on their ability to reap return on investment from limited resources and contain costs amidst rising margins. CalAmp is transforming construction operations by collecting and assessing business-critical data from both equipment and mobile assets. With over 30 years of experience in machine-to-machine telematics, construction owners and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) like Caterpillar, trust CalAmp’s industry-tested, software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions to make intelligent decisions. Operators can leverage an end-to-end platform to capture digital workflows across mixed-asset types using CalAmp’s portfolio of solutions from the internet of things (IoT):

  • CalAmp Telematics Cloud: a subscription-based platform that brings together powerful tools with data analytics and device management
  • CalAmp iOn Application: monitor mobile workforce, optimize assets and increase productivity
  • Telematics Services: expand insights with CrashBoxx™ collision reconstruction reports, driver behavior monitoring and advanced security protection
  • Edge Computing Devices and Sensors: collect data from mixed fleets to monitor engine hours, diagnose problems and schedule maintenance
    The biggest challenge is simply employing a data-driven mindset. CalAmp simplifies complex IoT deployments to capture actionable data to prevent resource burn, misuse and theft. Construction operators can optimize operations and help complete projects on-time while reducing bottlenecks.
