“Our collaboration with Targa Telematics was driven by the need for precise and efficient management of our fleet, with a particular focus on real-time monitoring and addressing everyday operational challenges.
Since we started using the solution, we have improved our operational efficiency and profitability.
One of the major advantages of Targa Telematics is the ability to obtain data at a given moment on the use of our equipment, with a very short update interval, which is crucial for optimizing our billing and minimizing losses from unreported usage”
The client
Équip+ was founded in 2007 and moved in 2011 to its current headquarters in Rochefort-du-Gard.
The company was created by Christophe Veldieu, who was already well acquainted with the professional equipment sector in construction, having sold used machines for 20 years in the company founded by his father, Charles.
Today, Équip+ has over 400 machines ranging from 800 kilograms to 55 tons, all very recent (less than five years old) and equipped with the latest technologies. To build this fleet, Équip+ sought the best from each brand, including Volvo, Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hamm, Kobelco, Bomag, and many others, as well as a large number of accessories.
The goal
The solution
The Targa Telematics solution, which includes a web interface and a mobile application, perfectly meets Équip+’s needs. Thanks to its real-time geolocation system, Équip+ can locate its machines at any time, allowing its mechanics and drivers to find them quickly and easily on job sites without having to contact customers. This optimization of traceability saves time on all fronts for Équip+’s teams.
The application is also very practical and user-friendly for roaming mechanics and delivery drivers, allowing them to locate equipment efficiently. In addition, the solution makes it possible to monitor the efficient use of rented equipment and reduce downtime, particularly in cases of unreported end-of-rental periods, a situation that could otherwise block new rentals.
Thanks to this real-time monitoring, Équip+ can control costs and inform its customers about the actual use of the equipment, thereby reducing the risk of billing disputes. Targa Telematics listens closely to its customers’ needs and accelerates requested developments to meet Équip+’s specific expectations.
