Plan the day

Equipment Moves

Machine, truck, float, driver and the time it must be ready at the next job. An equipment move needs more than a machine and an address. STRACTA plans each move with the machine, the truck, the trailer, the driver and the time the machine must be available at the destination. Each move keeps a movement status and records the custody change.

Problems solved

Where the day breaks down.

  1. The float arrives before the machine is ready

    The driver pulls in while the paver is still working. Somebody waits, on the clock.

  2. The machine arrives after the crew

    The crew starts at 7:00 AM and the paver gets there an hour later. The whole crew stands around.

  3. Nobody's sure who has the machine

    After the move, the last job still thinks it has the paver, and the new job isn't sure it's coming.

What it does

What Equipment Moves does.

In plain terms. Your version of STRACTA is shaped around how your team works, so bring your own workflow to the demo.

  • Plan the whole move

    Pick the machine, the truck, the trailer and the driver, with the pickup and drop-off for the move.

  • Destination availability time

    Set when the machine must be available at the destination, so the move is planned around the next crew start.

  • Tell STRACTA what you need

    Say it out loud or type it in a sentence. STRACTA creates the equipment move for you, filled in and ready to review.

    Operations manager

    “Move PV-02 to Bellwether Pointe tonight with Dev on the float, ready for 6:30.”

    How telling STRACTA works

  • Movement status

    Each move carries a movement status, so the office can check on a move without making a call.

  • Custody changes

    Record custody changes, so it's clear which job is responsible for the machine once it moves.
