Assets
The productive capacity you own: plant, fleet and instruments, with their meters, maintenance and calibration.
The register stops illegal movement
An expired licence or an overdue inspection blocks assigning that vehicle to a trip. This is a safety gate rather than an information screen, which is why it is never withheld from a customer’s plan.
Meters and utilisation
Running hours and kilometres are read and charged to the job, so a machine’s cost appears on the trip that consumed it.
Internal hire rates
Plant working on your own project is charged to it at a published internal rate, which turns the equipment department into something whose performance can be measured.
