The client
AGALMA is a regional association uniting industrial machinery rental companies (without operators) across three of Galicia’s four provinces – A Coruña, Lugo, and Pontevedra. The association follows a collaborative approach that upholds the principles of free competition to enhance the sector’s standing within the autonomous community. Committed to operational efficiency and innovation, AGALMA also champions the adoption of advanced digital solutions that professionalize fleet management and streamline its members’ operations.
The goal
The collaboration with AGALMA and its member companies aims to optimize the management of industrial machinery and enhance the efficiency of rental operations. The partnership focuses on modernizing critical processes such as tracking operating hours, scheduling maintenance, and billing for uncontracted usage through the integration of telematics data. Access to accurate, automated information enables rental companies to streamline operations, cut unnecessary costs, and boost profitability, while also laying a solid foundation for more strategic and efficient decision-making in the short and medium term.
The solution
The implementation of Targa Telematics’ solution has enabled AGALMA member companies to transform their operational management through precise, automated control of their machinery. With real-time tracking of actual usage hours, rental companies can now schedule maintenance based on objective data, reducing the uncertainty of manual methods and inaccurate estimates. This enhanced visibility also allows companies to identify usage periods not initially covered by contracts and bill more accurately for the actual days worked. At the same time, aligning maintenance activities with scheduled returns helps reduce unnecessary technician travel, lowering operational costs and improving overall efficiency. Overall, the solution has provided AGALMA’s network with a powerful tool to professionalize machinery management, combining automation, control, and profitability in an increasingly demanding and competitive environment.
