Stageholder for Construction


Overview


Construction companies manage expensive equipment, tools, and materials across multiple job sites. Stageholder helps contractors track assets wherever they are, manage tool inventories, schedule equipment maintenance, and maintain accurate records for billing and compliance.


Key Challenges We Solve


Equipment Location & Utilization

The Problem: Heavy equipment moves between job sites. Knowing where equipment is and whether it's being used is difficult.


How Stageholder Helps:

  • Track equipment location by job site
  • Record equipment transfers between sites
  • Monitor utilization to optimize fleet
  • Know what's available for new projects


Tool Tracking & Loss Prevention

The Problem: Tools disappear from job sites. Replacing lost tools is expensive and wastes time.


How Stageholder Helps:

  • Assign tools to workers or job sites
  • Check-in/check-out tracking
  • Know who had each tool last
  • Reduce tool loss significantly


Equipment Maintenance

The Problem: Equipment breakdowns on site cause costly delays. Tracking maintenance across a fleet is challenging.


How Stageholder Helps:

  • Schedule preventive maintenance
  • Track maintenance by hours or calendar
  • Receive alerts when service is due
  • Document maintenance history for resale value


Materials & Supplies

The Problem: Managing materials across job sites and the warehouse is complex. Running out delays projects.


How Stageholder Helps:

  • Track materials by location
  • Transfer materials between sites
  • Monitor stock levels
  • Allocate materials to projects
